I have backed up all my site including mysql database and files.

And after restore it to other directory in order to making another web site in SAME SERVER, it has restored it without error.

But when start the new site, it display the error message of ' JError : Unable to load Database Driver:mysqli '.  Cry

I can open the new database restored using phpMyAdmin without error.

And I can check the tables and data in it.

What's the problem in new site?

 

I want to fix it.

 

Thank you.

Open the configuration.php file and replace the mysql driver from mysqli to mysql.

I tried to fix $dbtype = 'mysqli'; in configuration.php to 'mysql'.

But ' JError : Unable to load Database Driver:mysql ' happens in this case.

???

I restored again manually and directly to server and finished to run xcloner.php without error.

The database contents are filled in the new database and the files are unzipped to the new directory again.

And then it displays blank page in this case.

 

What's the matter with it in this case? Yell

You will need to enable the php errors display to see the error behind that blank page, or contact your hosting support to help you with that, once you have that, feel free to post it here to see if we can help you further!
