Below you can find the renewed solution.

To solve this problem please enter the following two steps.
1. Add the missing record to the database
Unzip the file ‘slbs.zip’ (attached to this post)
Copy the file ‘slbs.php’ to the root of your domain
Go to http://www.yourdomain.com/slbs.php (replace ‘yourdomain.com’ with your real domain)
Now you can remove the ‘slbs.php’ file from the root

2. Rebuilding menus
Go to the administrator panel of joomla.
Menus --> MenuManager
Select all menus
Click on the button ‘Rebuild’
(By doing step two, the field ‘rgt’ in the just added record (step one) will get the appropriate value.)



Sir, I take my hat of for you.

Thank you for sharing this with us

I haven't tried this solution yet but I think I discovered where the problem might come from in the first place.

There is the possibility of different database collations between some of the tables and their structures. One of the SQL queries failed for me during menu migrations due to difference in collations. This could be the same problem that is happening here.

For me simply exporting the old 1.5 database and changing all collations to utf8_general_ci (my database collation) and then importing it into a temp installation on my computer and performing the upgrade with jUpgrade at that point worked perfectly fine. I don't get the SQL error during menu migration anymore.

I actually didn't get any errors until enabling migration debug and then I noticed the problem when enabling migration debug in the jUpgrade params. I thought I may as well post it here in case it helps anyone or gives any insight into what could be happening.

I recently had the same problem and should have searched the Joomla forums first to see if there was a solution.

Anyway, I managed to solve the problem and my solution is sort of similar to that mentioned here.
For those interested it's on one of the RT forums because I wasn't sure if the problem was RT related initially.

BACKUP YOUR SITE AND DATABASE

Use phpMyAdmin to run the following command:
  1. To update the database itself :
    Code:
    ALTER DATABASE database_name CHARACTER SET = utf8  COLLATE = utf8_general_ci;
    .
  2. You must also change any of the tables that are not configured with utf-8 collation character set and the columns in the tables.
    Code:
    ALTER TABLE table_name CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

For those having problems with the fix there is an additional step that isn't apparent in instructions for step 1....

You have to change your 'DATABASE_NAME' as well as the prefix for ???_menu (right next to the DATABASE_NAME. Find your ???_menu prefix by using the search query to find ???_menu. From there you will find j16_menu or jos_menu or whatever (mine was jos_menu in 2.5). Now edit the DATABASENAME and the prefix of your _MENU and press go.

I don't normally post on this forum, but had to here. This post has worked for me and literally saved my life! I have a client website that is due to go live any day now, and I suddenly ran into this problem.

In joomla 2.5 just make sure you substitute the 'j16_menu' for the random generated table prefix that you will find when you look in phpMyAdmin.

Thanks again!!!

Can you please help me?

Actually i`m also getting the same error on my website but before everything was fine. I`m using joomla version 2.5.7 but when i checked my jos_menu table in phpmyadmin then it appears to be 1.5 version where the table structure is completely different than the joomla 2.5.7 version structure. Actually my office-mate had imported the joomla 1.5 version jos_menu in this joomla v 2.5.7.So, can u please suggest me some tips on how to solve this problem. Even i also have checked in the jos_menu table that there is an id having value 1 is there.
Thanks,
