Hi,
I have been trying alday yesterday and this morning and I am defeated.
I set up a sub-domain on the server that I want to copy my joomla site to so that I have a test environment, simple right!
No not simple, I am using the Akeeba Site Transfer method. These are the steps I took:
1/ created a sub-domain, set up an ftp user account copying the username and passwords (see attached). Checked that the ftp account was working by using FileZilla, all worked fine.
2/ installed a fresh version of joomla 4.1.4 upgraded to 4.1.5 on the sub-domain called https://testarea.vcgwiki.com coppied the DB details and all login password information.
3/ installed Akeeba on the new joomla site, on the https://testarea.vcgwiki.com
4/ went to the site that I want to copy which is on the same server https://www.vcgwiki.com launched Akeeba, selected the 'Site Transfer Wizard' filled in the form settings and just can't get anything to work. I tried different ftp options but nothing.
Everything seems to be working fine on the server.
