I've just Installed a backup into a new directory on go daddy things haven't gone quite as smoothly as I had hoped. I don't know whether it's something to do with the database, or the fact that I have swapped hosts completely

I would advise to retry the restore process, you don't seem to have finished the restore properly since the configuration file was not updated
If you still have issues, try and extract the backup archive manually then use the restore script to restore the database by checking the "skip files restore" option

So I should uninstall all the files and upload again? What I did was to make a backup using cloner and then I downloaded it to back onto my computer.

Do you mean upload the zip file? actually, it isn't actually a zip file, I have winrar installed. I'm a little bit confused, when I make a backup, I've downloaded it on to the computer and then opened it up and then uploaded all the files, obviously this was wrong? was about the script, I'm not sure what you are talking about, there wasn't anything separate from the backup

okay, I understand now. However, whereabouts inside the backup do I locate the joomla Cloner install script?I just want to make sure it's there

I have just deleted all the files out of the root directory and I am left with one folder called "stats" inside this folder are two files, index.html, and statspwd, and neither of them I can delete, I just get the message saying could not delete, permission denied, any ideas?
12:00 am
I've been in contact with support at go daddy and this folder that contains two files is like as statistics program. They said that if you delete it, it will probably regenerate again in 24 hours. I find this a little strange. Anyway, it seems that I have to leave the folder that, I am just upload again the backup into the same root, I am a little worried that when I come to carry out the restore, this folder is going to cause problems. What do you think?
12:00 am
I've just uploaded the backup so we'll see what happens. I contacted support and they basically said there's nothing you can do about that folder, it is there to stay. I was wondering, are you with go daddy, always anybodyelse with them, maybe we could exchange notes on this matter
12:00 am
okay, still not sure what's wrong. I entered into the browser, the following "http://myURL.com/Joomla.Cloner.php" I just got a 404 error. I didn't unzip the backup befor uploading it, I just uploaded it in the same format it was in the backup folder in the original site

that tutorial is great, really helpful. However, there is something you said before, that conflicts with the tutorial. When I download the backup that is going to go on to the new site, do I unzip it and upload all the files,or should I leave it zipped up the same way I downloaded it? it doesn't say anything about unzipping in the tutorial
[quote]Then go to the /administrator/backups/ directory and download the actual backup that
will have a filename such as “backup_2007-08-15_13-25_mexdental_com-sqlnodrop.
tgz”
Now all you have to do is to upload these 4 files to the directory where your cloned site
will exist.[/quote]
