Sudden fatal error

I have not tried to upgrade to a newer version. Suddenly the forum started to spit out this error message:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/foobar/public_html/forum/applications/controllers/class.controller.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/foobar/public_html/forum/library/core/class.dispatcher.php on line 529

Any ideas?

    Only idea I have is to doublecheck the path to class.controller.php and see if there are any problems with the rights. I know you haven't changed anything, but you never know if there are some rights problems at the moment on your server.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Seems the /applications/controllers is missing. conversations, dashboard, skeleton and vanilla are the only folders present in /applications/.
    If I take a look in the latest version of Vanilla downloaded from here: http://vanillaforums.org/get/vanilla-core/1 I can't seem to find a "controllers" folder either. Am I missing something?

    That path isn't supposed to exist, so no, you're not missing anything. The path should be /applications/core/library to get to class.controller.php.

    Possible problem with the dispatcher. @Tim?

    That is pretty strange. What version are you running there, @mkl ?

    @Tim, I'm running 2.0.16 according to index.php. I've spoken to my hosting company and they claim they are not having any temporary problems with the server I'm on.

    require_once(CombinePaths(array(PATH_APPLICATIONS, $this->_ApplicationFolder, 'controllers', 'class.'.strtolower($this->_ApplicationFolder).'controller.php'))); seems to be on line 529 inclass.dispatcher.php.

    Yeah. Thats some dirty dirty tomfoolery. We've taken that crap out in our current version. I'm not sure what else to tell you. Does this happen on a page that should normally work?

    Have you tried deleting all your *.ini files in cache/ ?

    @Tim, thank you! Deleted the .ini files in cache/ and now I'm able to view pages and log in.
    All pages were inaccessible before I did this. Perhaps I should try to update ASAP.

    If its working now, you can either upgrade or wait till the next version (which will be major). Your choice ;)

    Had the same problem. Occurred when the username on the account was changed. Manually updated the database configuration settings but ended up with this error.

    Fix works like a charm. Thanks a lot!
