Thanks for your help with my previous problem… the correct download for J2.5 worked.
However, now that I have downloaded a backup from my live remote host to my localhost, and executed the Xclone command, I received success message, but when I try to view the localhost front end, there is no template. The message is:
And if I enter "localhost/joomla25/administrator/index.php" all I get is a blank screen.
I had a download of joomla 2.5 in the …joomla25 directory, along with the default sample data. The xclone appeared to overwrite the files with the backup from my remote server/webhost, but obviously something is still wrong.
The database files were installed to a different sql (using the remote host's filename) than the default sql file set up when I installed J25 locally. Is this the problem? If so, specifically how do I update/overwrite the default sql file on my localhost?
Additional info:
I viewed the source code on the homepage (without template, formatting, and other resources), the html source code includes references like the following for all calls for resources:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://localhost/joomla25/xcloner.php/templates/system/css/system.css" type="text/css" />
Obviously if all the resource calls include the intermediate path /xcloner.php/, none of the resources or subdirectory references will work. But I have no idea why the xcloner.php reference is being dumped into all the html code??
