Fatal error undefined function is_network_admin()

Aquired from this site here

Hi, recently I tried to update my WordPress blog and then, when I try to get access to admin, I got the following error:
Fatal error undefined function is_network_admin()
Actually to fix this, is very simple, Just download the most recent version of wordpress from the original source (http://wordpress.org/download) save it on your pc, extract the files to any directory (could be something like c:/wp)
Log-in into your ftp account, rename the 2 following directories (wp-admin, wp-includes) to any other name (such as wp-admin-old and wp-includes-old) and then upload the respective directories from the extracted files.
Almost done.
Last thing to do, just look for a file called "wp-settings.php" and upload it to your blog folder (the same that contains wp-config.php file) and if everything works all okay, feel free to remove the 2 firstly renamed folders as the wordpress doesn't need them.
And now you are done!

What thisa equates to is that the user tried to update wordpress and it either died halfway or they got impatient and canceled it. The fix is below, Last time I did this it was on a dso server and the commands looked like what follows.

Change all "USER" to your accounts usernames.

Also these direction are assuming that the install is in the public_html, adjust accordingly

ALSO ASUMES THEY WERE ON WP VERSION 3.0 Pulling wordpress version

mkdir -p /home/temp/wpnew
cd /home/temp/wpnew
wget http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf wordpress-3.0.tar.gz
mv /home/USER/public_html/wp-admin /home/USER/public_html/wp-admin.broke
mv /home/USER/public_html/wp-includes /home/USER/public_html/wp-includes.broke
mv /home/USER/public_html/wp-settings.php /home/USER/public_html/wp-settings.php.broke
cp -Rp /home/temp/wpnew/wordpress/wp-admin /home/USER/public_html/wp-admin
cp -Rp /home/temp/wpnew/wordpress/wp-includes /home/USER/public_html/wp-includes
cp -Rp /home/temp/wpnew/wordpress/wp-settings.php /home/USER/public_html/wp-settings.php

Now from here out you have to know your handler for permissions.

For DSO

chown -R USER.nobody /home/USER/public_html/

For SUPHP

 chown -R USER. /home/USER/public_html/
 chown USER.nobody /home/USER/public_html
