Hi

I'm trying to restore a site on a new server using kickstart 7.0.2 pro. I then get the message that it's an insecure setup urging me to rename the kickstart.php file. But when I doing that the browser simply states: File not found.

I've tried with the core version of kickstart - but still I get the File not Found-

What's wrong - and how do I proceed with restoring my site

Yours

Rename kickstart.php to a different name which does not include kickstart in its name, e.g. asertearg.php. Then you need to change the URL you use to access that file from https://www.example.com/kickstart.php to https://www.example.com/asertearg.php.

If you have already tried that please let me know what you renamed kickstart.php to so I can give you a more accurate reply.

Hi

I'm sorry I didn't got to delete my ticket. It seems that my server has some sort of caching. I worked when I manually deleted the pro-version from the wastebasket...

Thanks
