Joomla! version: (2.5.8)
PHP version: (5.3)
MySQL version: 5.5.21)
Host: (HostGator)
Akeeba Backup version which took the backup: (surprisingly difficult to find)
Kickstart version used to extract the backup: (3.6)
Description of my issue:
I did a restore and the result did not look like my original site even though the correct info was there. I remember your advising me to do delete all of the files on the destination folder and then do a clean restore for best results. So I deleted all of the files in the destination folder (where I restore the site) except for only the kickstart.php and backup zip file.
The restored home page (http://morevida.com/goodtalktnt) looks nothing like the original site (http://goodtalktnt.com) and I cannot get into the backend (http://morevida.com/goodtalktnt/administrator) it is a blank page.
Every page besides the home page is also a 404.
I made a silly mistake by not cleaning up. Will close this.
