Joomla!®Plug

Hey everyone,

I'm a first-time JoomlaCloner/XCloner user. Right now i'm simply trying to get the hang of using JoomlaCloner/XCloner, specifically the RESTORE function. I've transfered a backup of the target website onto my local computer, and I want to restore that copy onto my local version of Joomla. Yet, whenever I try to clone the backup the browser seems to be stuck in an infinite loop. I press the continue button and it looks like XCloner it waiting on the local host. Any thoughts on the cause and possible solutions?

Sincerely,
MuffinSparticus

I would advise to move the backup archive and restore script manually to the new location so you can continue the restore process!

Please check our Restore FAQ here https://www.joomlaplug.com/component/option,com_simplefaq/Itemid,56/task,display/catid,26/ !

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Thank for the reply Ovidiu.

Unfortunately that approach leads into another problem . Everytime I try to open Joomla.Cloner.php I always get the following error: Firefox can't find the file at /C:/xampp/htdocs/joomla15/administrator/components/com_cloner/restore/".$rurl.".

I've run through the code several times in Joomla.Cloner.php, and I think i've isolate the cause to one of two lines:
$rurl = "Joomla.Cloner.php?".$qstr[0]."&refresh=1&next=".($_REQUEST[next]+100);
$rurl = "Joomla.Cloner.php?".$qstr[0]."&refresh=2&next=".($_REQUEST[next]+102);
Would you be able to provide some insight into what these lines of code are trying to reference?

Thank you,
MuffinSparticus

Are you using the latest version of JoomlaCloner? If so, try and restore with "Install files directly" option checked and see if it helps

Ovidiu

That option isn't available in JoomlaCloner's current configuration. As well as XCloner. I'm guessing that the latest version would have that option?

I thought I had downloaded the latest versions. I'll double check on the version I have installed, but as a precaution could you send me a link to the latest versions?

Thank you,

Our downloads area is here https://www.joomlaplug.com/members/member.php , login with your purchase username and password!

The Install files directly option should be available on your restore script screen, near the ftp mode details
