Error message Failed to start application:

[galaxie]

Hi

I'm trying to create a new website (www.ufit360.ch) using another one as a base (www.imove-fit.ch). I'm sorry if my method was stupid but here is what I did:

- copy-paste the FTP files in the new directory
- export - import the database in the new database
(after this step the website and admin side was working ok on the new domain name)
- modify the configuration.php with new database name, user/password, database host and the /logs and /tmp paths

Now I get this error message:

Error: Failed to start application: Table 'ftan_ufit360.#__session' doesn't exist

What should I do next?

Thanks for your help

Seems your import/export didn't include the session table referred to in the error.

Your first attempt seems correct....also documented in the below documentation (copying a joomla website), perhaps review that information for anything you may have overlooked. One thing you didn't mention doing - did you change the database table prefix (when you did the import to new database. (It's not necessary, but just asking))? If the prefix was changed, did you update that info in the configuration.php file?

Perhaps try again with the copying of site but use Akeeba Backup and Kickstart this time, as per this documentation: https://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website.

Thanks, i modified the db prefix and I think it's ok but now I get another error message:

Error: Impossible finding "ja_mero". template.

I don't understand because on this website this template is not used...
