I made an update to my joomla 2.5.28 to 3.5.1 but I had a problems, so I restored from akeebabackup my version 2.5.28, since this time, I have reccurent redirect error to all my browsers:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chrom diplay:

http://www.mysite.com redirected you too many times.

Mozilla:

Firefox has detected that the server has responded to the request for this address in a way that will not succeed.

Actually I work from subdirectory (live server) ..I can restore my web site 2.5.28 but I try a lot of times to make the upgrade to 3.5.1 but I had an errors;

Notice: Undefined property: ContentController::$input in
/administrator/components/com_content/controller.php on line 37

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in administrator/components/com_content/controller.php on line 37

In the end of the update It display error 1062

It's discouraging

I found this solution but I don't know how to execute it to my website (3.5.1) I have the same errors

-------------------
Issues are related to "legacy" of previous 1.7-2.5 upgrade.
Some googling led me to look inside of

/var/www/html/~MySite~/html/administrator/components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql

And in there ( amongst files prefixed with 2.5, 3.0. 3.1, 3.3) I found a number of SQL files starting with 1.7.

I DELETED ALL THE 1.7* sql files.

then...

BINGO!!! Running administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&task=database.fix again.
This cleans the glitch considerably.

Database table structure is up to date.
• Other Information
• Database schema version (in #__schemas): 3.3.0-2014-04-02.
• Update version (in #__extensions): 3.3.3.
• Database driver: mysqli.
• 83 database changes were checked successfully.
• 138 database changes did not alter table structure and were skipped.

No more issues with the "joomla" pages. I can get into the Extension manager now... enabling those 60-odd extensions again...

Moral of the story - before upgrading from 2.5.x to 3.x ... be sure to purge the system of any old 1.x SQL files!!

Someone should sticky this issue, I spent three days trying to figure out what was going on!

Database 'Fix' does NOT fix a failed update/upgrade.

Have you read viewtopic.php?f=710&t=793171 ?

Also see viewtopic.php?t=943077#p3450363

Was the original install a Joomla full package or a quickstart/Template install package ?

Hello Webdongle,

I install from components / joomla update


I would like to Install joomla 3.6 /new installation, new database and find a way to import the articles from my old joomla, Is it possible

My only requirement is to maintain my SEO, I would like a new template, new features.

No I asked how you ORIGINALLY installed Joomla not how you installed the update.

Any SEO that you added to the Articles will remain the same. If you did the SEO in the menu item then you will need to enter it again when you recreate the menus.
