After migration, categories panel gives error 500!

[banerjen]

Hello,

I recently migrated my Joomla 1.5 hosting from a Windows server to a Linux server. I exported and imported the databases and I copied all the Joomla files. Changed the configuration.php file and everything on the website is working fine. But in the administrator page when I go to the Category Manager, it gives me an error. Article Manager works fine though and the data is correct because my website is working correctly.

500 - **An error has occurred.**
**View not found [name, type, prefix]: categories, html, categoriesView**

It was working fine on my earlier hosting server. Any clues as to how I might fix it? I was going through forum articles and found that this could be related to some filename issues.

Thank you.

- check php version of new server
- set error_reporting to maximum in configuration.php file and see more

I did set error reporting to maximum. My webpages display fine. It is just in the administrator panel where the Category View doesn't work. The php version is 5.4 in the new server. Don't know the old one though, but given time I should be able to find out. Any ideas from the errors above?

**View not found [name, type, prefix]: categories, html, categoriesView**
