I've just used Kickstart to move my site to a new server.I'm getting this:
jtablesession::Store Failed
DB function failed with error number 1146
Table 'yourfami_joomjoom.jos_session' doesn't exist SQL=INSERT INTO `jos_session` ( `session_id`,`time`,`username`,`gid`,`guest`,`client_id` ) VALUES ( '1ca40cbadb502f3916f9d349c783feaf','1291434766','','0','1','0' )
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 943718400 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 80 bytes) in /home/yourfami/public_html/libraries/joomla/error/exception.php on line 117

I'm a noob at this, can someone tell me what's happeing ,
Thanks

When you corrected the missing database information in the configuration.php file, you missed a line:
var $dbprefix = 'jos_';

That is why you are getting the error:
Table 'yourfami_joomjoom.jos_session' doesn't exist

I hadn't actually touched any files at all yet.

And I just checked the config.php file and it's actually there in line 37:

var $db = 'yourfami_joomjoom';
var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
var $mailer = 'mail';

Do you mean I have to change "jos_ " to "yourfami_"?

Nope. yourfami_joomjoom is the name of your database. It has nothing to do with the table name prefix which is jos_. I think that you have a partial restoration and that the jos_sessions table wasn't created. Using your host's copy of phpMyAdmin you can verify if that table exists on your new server.

If the table was missing, which version of Akeeba Backup did you use to transfer the site? This is a known issue with very old versions of Akeeba Backup (around the 3.0.b1 range) and has been fixed ever since. Using the 3.1.5 version of Akeeba Backup shouldn't result in such a partial restoration.

Thanks, I figured it out-my fault.
Didn't do my restoration in the correct sequence.
Thanks for your reply
