Errors when copying site

Post by makevalue » Mon Dec 24, 2018 9:10 pm

Hi,

I am in the process of updating a site. I installed a backup onto a development server. I also tried to make an archived copy of the site using a new db and a separate folder.

I copied the database successfully. I copied all the relevant Joomla files to a new subdirectory. I am having problems with the site in this directory. I cannot access the administrator- evidently there is an error that is not displaying. But the error reporting is on for the website. The attached screen capture shows that most of the errors are related to template files.

Any thoughts you have would be appreciated. I am not a coder per se but the errors are really odd. Both the vertex template folder and the system folder are there. I even copied them again. It looks like some of the css from the template is being loaded since the color is the background color of the site.

Any help would be appreciated.

That is the php error setting ... it should not prevent you from logging into admin. See https://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website to see if you missed anything or redo using Akeeba.

The template is not compatible with the version of php you are running on the development server.
