I have also experienced this same error:

Fatal error: Class 'JError' not found in /var/www/web71/web/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/Error.php on line 301

This is a client site hosted on GoDaddy, using Joomla 1.5.25 and CiviCRM 3.4.7.  The error is thrown from a cronjob I have running every 15 minutes, and has been throwing the same error exact error, no white pages.

The cronjob output that is emailed (automatically, intentional):

Any updates on this issue?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I've seen this error in CiviCRM 3.4.8 the Joomla 1.5 version. As a rank beginner I puzzled my way through it and was able to solve the problem. I hope to save others the headache.

The error is caused when CiviCRM attempts to display an error message using the Joomla Error Handle, which it can't in this case because it is not running inside joomla. Checking the error log in site/media/civicrm/templates_c/en_US/ConfigAndLog/CiviCRM.(33chars here).log Will show you the original cause of the error.

I found the proposed patch in on the CiviCRM issue site Key: CRM-9355 and applied it to the file referenced in the error message. The Patch involves replacing one line of code. The line to remove is marked with a negative sign the new line is marker with the positive sign. I believe this patch was applied to the 4.X version of CiviCRM as the issue was closed.

With patch applied the real cause of the error is displayed. And from my experience a blank page is a indication of success.
