How to set my online website to local computer.

[fawadmz]

I have a fully working online joomla website , for upgrade purposes i want to have it on my local computer, i backed up databases and imported them using MySQL front without any singe error, created zip of all website files and extracted them in my local folder, changed the configuration file to my local setting, now when i access my site it shows error message stating :
Parse error :
Joomla_dir\templates\my_template\html\com_content\frontpage\default.php on line 62

It has been working fine online, can some one tell me how to set my website in my local computer.

- please check database config, correct path of folder: tmp and logs
- see the the variable in file config: $live_site

Parse error :
Joomla_dir\templates\my_template\html\com_content\frontpage\default.php on line 62

can you give that file and we can have a look?
p/s: if you use akeeba and backup, it will be easy and no bug

Here is the code :

Code: Select all

<?php // @version $Id: default.php 11917 2009-05-29 19:37:05Z ian $
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>

<div id="leftNews">
	<?if($this->params->get('show_page_title',1)):?>
		<h1>Exclusive</h1>
	<?endif?>

	<div id="fn">
		<?php $i = $this->pagination->limitstart;
		$rowcount = $this->params->def('num_leading_articles', 1);
		for ($y = 0; $y < $rowcount && $i < $this->total; $y++, $i++) : ?>
			<?php $this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
			echo $this->loadTemplate('leadingitem'); ?>
		<?endfor?>
	</div>

	<?php $introcount = $this->params->def('num_intro_articles', 4);
	if ($introcount) :
		$colcount = $this->params->def('num_columns', 2);
		if ($colcount == 0) :
			$colcount = 1;
		endif;
		$rowcount = (int) $introcount / $colcount;
		$ii = 0;
		for ($y = 0; $y < $rowcount && $i < $this->total; $y++) : ?>
			<div>
				<?php for ($z = 0; $z < $colcount && $ii < $introcount && $i < $this->total; $z++, $i++, $ii++) : ?>
					<div class="article_column column<?php echo $z + 1; ?> cols<?php echo $colcount; ?>" >
						<?php $this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
						echo $this->loadTemplate('item'); ?>
					</div>
				<?php endfor; ?>
			</div>
		<?php endfor;
	endif; ?>

	<?php $numlinks = $this->params->def('num_links', 4);
	if ($numlinks && $i < $this->total) : ?>
	<div class="blog_more<?php echo $this->escape($this->params->get('pageclass_sfx')); ?>">
		<?php $this->links = array_slice($this->items, $i - $this->pagination->limitstart, $i - $this->pagination->limitstart + $numlinks);
		echo $this->loadTemplate('links'); ?>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>


	<div>
		<?php if ($this->params->def('show_pagination', 2) == 1  || ($this->params->get('show_pagination') == 2 && $this->pagination->get('pages.total') > 1)) : ?>
			<?php if( $this->pagination->get('pages.total') > 1 ) : ?>
			<p class="counter">
				<?php echo $this->pagination->getPagesCounter(); ?>
			</p>
			<?php endif; ?>
			<?php if ($this->params->def('show_pagination_results', 1)) : ?>
				<?php echo $this->pagination->getPagesLinks(); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>
	</div>
</div>
<?if($this->params->get('show_feed_link', 0)):?><a id=rss href="<?=feedlink?>"><img src="/english/templates/saba_tech/image/rss.gif" /></a><?endif?>

The rest of configuration is configured correctly , $live_site variable is blank as was in online version .

Code: Select all

var $live_site = '';

[Per Yngve Berg]

Last line:

Code: Select all

<?endif?>

shall be:

Code: Select all

<?php endif; ?>

To be more precise, you should replace each occurrence of '<?' with '<?php'. The PHP short open tag is not supported on some systems and may cause problems.

Rather then edit all php files you can enable short php tags on your local server, here are directions for WampServer;
