very exciting
we're on the last step
the [b][size=4]automatic restore[/size][/b] page:
here are my settings:
checked these 3 boxes:
import mysql, install files through ftp,
preserve structure permissions
Install directory:
/home/.server/www/url.com
install URL:
https://url.com
mysql server:
dbname.url.com (our new empty db)
user: (new db username)
username
pw:
xxx
db:
dbname (this is our new empty db name)
select the backup:
latestbackup.zip
ftp server:
url.com
ftp user:
ftp username
pw:
xxx
ftp path:
this last one...I am trying different things...
I tried the full path...which didn't work...
this ftp path:
/www/url.com
uploads the complete archive_tmp folder
EXCELLENT
but doesn't load the db or configure the configuration.php file
this ftp path:
/url.com
uploads only the "administrator" folder,
and COPYRIGHT.php and Joomla.Cloner.php
and LICENSE.php
and then stops (I've tried it 3 or 4 times now)
always stops in the same place.
this ftp path:
url.com
is the best so far!
it copied all the files to the url.com folder
(from the archive_tmp folder)
so we're VERY close now...but...
it didnt' transfer the db
or
setup the new configuration.php file
I get this error:
Connected to url.com, for user username, starting transfer...
Permissions restored to their initial value...
Files succesfully copied to url.com on url.com using FTP
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '---- Table structure for table `jos_extcal_config`--DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `jos_ex' at line 1
I think it might be a mysql version problem
our original db is mysql 4
and the new one is mysql 5
that might be it...
I'm going to try going from a mysql 4
to a mysql 4
I've heard that can be a problem
thanks Ovidiu for EXCELLENT component
with excellent support!
we're almost there now
what a great component
WOW
very excited we're on the last step now...

Hi there! Ok, you only have left the mysql problem! What you need to do is this:
- go to our Downloads&Upgrades page http://www.joomlaplu.....e,updates/ and get the latest version
- install it on your original site
- get file Joomla.CLoner.php from inside the archive you got and upload it where you want to restore the clone, overwritting the old file
This will solve you the mysql problem you have in place!
Let me know what is the output message! Ovidiu
