After trying to update my version of DT Register today to 2.7.8, I received the following error:

I've since restored my website from a backup to try and start over. Any idea what might be going on? Thanks.

Can anyone please help?

Very few servers would see this error... however, grab the latest package (2.7.9) and no one should see this anymore. If you do, submit a ticket please.
