Trying to make a clone | Old Forum | Forum Archive

I have been using Cloner for awhile now to make back ups (and haven't yet had a need to restore...whew.) But today, after setting up a testing server on my local machine, I thought I'd try to make a clone of one of my live sites to my local server.

So I run the clone procedure from the live site (on a UNIX host) and it FTPs successfully onto my local server site. I load in JoomlaCloner.php, fill in the details (I think I did that correctly!) and the clone extracts. However, at the end of the process I get the following message:

JoomlaCloner Automatic Restore!
Permissions restored to their initial value...

Files succesfully copied to C:/SERVER-1/xampp/htdocs/neosite
Table 'joomla_neo.jos_banner' doesn't exist

If I try to load the local site into the browser, I get the following:
Warning: main(/export/home/hippocrates/webneo/www/includes/version.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\SERVER-1\xampp\htdocs\neosite\includes\joomla.php on line 71

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/export/home/hippocrates/webneo/www/includes/version.php' (include_path='.;C:\SERVER-1\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\SERVER-1\xampp\htdocs\neosite\includes\joomla.php on line 71

It would appear that the configuration files are still using the old Unix paths. I tried editing the paths, and that did allow the pages to load. However, I couldn't log onto the admin area because it said no users were set up as administrators (which makes me think the database wasn't restored.)

Would appreciate any advice to get this to work.

Thanks,
Bob
