Hi,

I want to install a backup over a live site and have accessed the Joomla.Cloner.php page but I just have a couple of questions

Choose clone archive to install:
There's no drop down menu. Do you choose the location on your hard drive after you hit the 'Start install' button?

ftp root path of where Joomla will be installed
What does the ftp root path look like? Could you give me an example, please

Thanks.

Hi there! Please follow this restore FAQ http://www.joomlaplu...../catid,26/ , you need to copy the backup archive in the same directory as the Joomla.Cloner.php script and then start the process!

The ftp path is something like public_html or httpdocs, you can get the correct form by using a ftp client to browse your new site ftp server; if you have any doubts here it would be better to use the "Install files directly" option
