JoomlaPlug!

Got error when attempting to let backup and restore go automatically through Joomla component (just times out to white screen on restore) so I copied backup and joomla cloner restore files to new domain.

I'm now at http://nashvegashoops.com/restore/Joomla.Cloner.php. All files including the backup are in the restore folder. I've been messing with this for quite awhile now and finally got to error: Could not continue, unable to read the clone backup file! Please make sure you copied the backup in the same directory as Joomla.Cloner.php

The file is there... yourhoopsite.tgz.

Our sites are all on a shared server. In install directory field, have tried the server path (/hsphere/local/home/imaginea/nashvegashoops.com/restore/) as well as http://nashvegashoops.com

Neither works.

What am I missing???

Side note: Have error on generate backup screen. Instead of tabs, page scrolls down for each tab's info. Tried unstalling and reinstalling multiple times...same issue each time.

Line 60

The page tabs issue might be a Joomla core problem, are you using the latest version of Joomla?

As for the restore error, once you open the restore screen, there is a drop down box from where you need to select the backup to restore, you need to first select it from there then continue in order to avoid that error message

Also, i presume you are using the latest version of our software component?

hey there...

it's Joomla! 1.5.3 Production/Stable Virtuemart *eCommerce Edition

problem is, it's not seeing the file in the dropdown box although it is in the folder.

i'm going to create another backup, go through the steps again and post back.

so, now, i got to this screen, then clicked continue
http://yourhoop.com/clonescreen.jpg[/img]

this page kept timing out.

so, created a manual backup. that created the backup.
at the We May Proceed, click here to continue, that page timed out.

Backup was not complete...trying again

OK, generated backup, got
Starting the manual backup process!
Database backup: imagine_yourhoopsite: Backup Completed ( 327.57 KB )

Backup /hsphere/local/home/imaginea/yourhoop.com/administrator/backups/backup_2008-05-20_17-17_yourhoop_com-sql-nodrop.tar created, we may continue!
Please click here to continue!

it should be around 39MB ???

i have made sure only the top checkbox is checked (Backup database and include in this backup set) on the generate backup page so as to not exlcude any modules, components, etc...


EDIT: a few minutes later I turned manual backup in configuration back to no, and now have whole backup again, around 39MB

put it in restore folder at new domain along with Joomla.Cloner.php, pcltar.lib.php and pclzip.lib.php.

Will update in a moment....fingers crossed.
