[jontedavinci]

Hello, I am trying to move my Joomla site from local server xampp to a live server. I am using Joomla 5.2.2 .Everything works fine on localhost .I have configured everything that is required on my hosting but on launching the site, I get a Sorry, there was a problem we could not recover from.
The server returned a "500 - Whoops, looks like something went wrong." I had initially solved the issue by deleting administrator/cache/autoload_psr4.php but i unfortunately forgot my backend password so I took the whole site down and upon uploading it again and trying the same method of deleting autoload_psr4.php, it wont work. aNY help.

Are you using Akeeba to transfer your site? If not I suggest that you do.
https://www.akeeba.com/ the free version will do.

Akeeba is the best method but otherwise you need to copy both files and database.

No am not using Akeeba. I was copying the db and the files and moving them directly to my cpanel and making the neccessary configurations for the Db . Lemme use Akeeba and see how it goes
