I have been using your latest free versions of Akeeba Backup and Kickstart to copy the test/dev system to live.

The mesage said the restore completed normally but when I attept to load the backend /administrator direcroey I get the following error message;

Notice: Undefined property: LoginController::$input in /home/zolhfape/public_html/administrator/components/com_login/controller.php on line 38

Fatal error: Call to a member function set() on a non-object in /home/zolhfape/public_html/administrator/components/com_login/controller.php on line 38

One thing I did notice was that the new database that was used to restore into show 0.0MB in size but looking through it the data seems to have been copied over.

Kind regards
Dave

You are restoring on top of an existing site of a different Joomla! version. Please delete all files/folders and retry the restoration.
