Hi
My client (www.poolwise.co.za) changed ISP without my knowledge. I managed to access the backend via ftp and download the files from the old ISP and then upload to the new one. I then created a new database with the new one and imported the old .sql files into phpmy admin. I then changed the following details in the Configuration.php file
var $host = 'new host name';
var $user = 'new user name';
var $db = 'new database name';
var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
var $password = 'new password';
but now only the home page is showing with now images or links. Can anyone assist.
Oh and I cannot access the administration backend.
I'm not very technical so please can you explain in layman's terms
Cannot view most of my site after moving it

ISP is 'Internet Service Provider' so you really meant web host, assumably.
Your template is missing. No files exist for a template
This is your source head elements
Confirm that you did transfer the template directory and it is located in 'templates'

Re: Cannot view most of my site after moving it
Fabulous - you were right... but I'm still not there. If you go to the site now, the home page is there but when clicking on a link I get the following:
500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: article,html,contentView
500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: article,html,contentView

Re: Cannot view most of my site after moving it
I'm getting somewhere but I am still having issues. I went through all the files and realised that not everything uploaded. So I have uploaded the files that I found were missing. Which has helped because I can now access /administrator/ backend. However, when I try and click on one of the buttons I am still getting this
500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: article,html,contentView
Can anyone help please.... I'm desperate

Re: Cannot view most of my site after moving it
Correct the tmo and log path in Configuration.php.
What version of 1.5 are you running? What version of php are the server running?
Turn off SEF in Global Configuration and see if it starts working.
Enable and trouble-shoot SEF urls later.
https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search ... _on_Apache
Are both server running Apache or is it windows IIS?

....also check that you haven't copied over a php.ini file from the old server and that there are not lines in your htaccess file meant for the old server.
