Joomla! version: (5.2)
PHP version: (5.3)
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Akeeba Backup version which took the backup: (latest)
Kickstart version used to extract the backup: (latest)
Description of my issue:
I have migrated a "mysiteABC" to "mysiteXYZ". Kickstart extracts the files, and then says I need to enter the new site DB info, which I do. However, Kickstart rejects it. The only way I can get Kickstart to continue is to use the Original "mysiteABC" DB Info. The site transfers completely, however, what I am left with is:
The new site "mysiteXYZ" reading the old site "mysiteABC" Joomla Database. When trying to set the new site DB to its own Joomla DB, it won't connect.
None of the original DB files copied into the new Joomla DB.
All other files DID copy.
The new site seems to function correctly, however it would be good to have some clarification on what went wrong in the transfer.
Thanks.
