Moving from subfolder to root problem

Post by anthonyo » Wed Apr 23, 2014 11:48 am

Hello everyone,

I installed and made a site under a subdirectory "/nova" under a existing website. I finally decided to move it to root. So I backed up the old and the new sites. Deleted the old and moved the whole site to the root. It is not working, I just see this symbol '>' on top of a blank page. I modified the configuration.php with the new log and tmp folders, also setted up the $live_site variable.

All remains the same. Administrator works and the database remains the same, am I missing something, any ideas?

Thank you

You almost certainly have a typo in your template. You can verify this by temporarily switching to one of the default joomla templates

Thanks for the quick reply, It seems like it.

How can this have happened? Where should I look for it? How can I fix it?
