Hello,

I restored a site to a local XAMPP server, but some components did not extract obviously, see print screens. E.g. Akeeba, Hikashop, etc. Also the pictures (media did not extract. The restored site on XAMPP runs more or less. But not all components and media. 

How can this be and how am I to correct this. I would like to have a fully functional site on XAMPP because of the migration to Joomla 4.

There is also a print screen of the live site and restored site. See the difference.

Regards,

Edwin

Hello,

can you please double check if the folder com_akeeba is really available on the filesystem, under administrator/components ?

These components are not available. These components were not in the backup obviously.

What do you mean with "not available"? Did you check on the filesystem?

mhm... what was the type of the backup? Is it possible to have the backup log of the archive you tried to restore?

I tried again, now there is no layout of the template.

What was the original backup type of the archive you're trying to restore? I suspect you're trying to restore an incremental backup, so it will only include the file modified since the last backup.

In order to have a full functional site, you have to restore a full backup (which will be used as reference point) and then all the incremental backups until you reach the one you're interested into. Otherwise you're going to have missing data.

Let me connect to your original website, I'll try to take a backup and restore it locally.

I have made this ticket private so that only you and me can see the information posted here.

Please provide me with the following information:

  1. The URL to your site's administrator login page
  2. Super User username and password
  3. FTP connection information


Please allow up to one business day (GMT+2 timezone) for me to log in to your site and debug this issue. When I'm done I will post back. Once the issue is fixed, you can revoke my access e.g. by changing the Super Administrator and FTP passwords.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In order for me to help you fast and accurately, please provide the information by copying the form below, paste it into your reply and fill in the information:

----- Access Information Form -- START -----
Super Administrator access

  • URL to site's administrator page (e.g. http://www.example.com/administrator?foobar):
  • Super User username:
  • Super User password:


FTP connection information

  • FTP methods supported (e.g. FTP, FTPS, SFTP):
  • FTP Hostname:
  • FTP Username:
  • FTP Password:
  • FTP Port (if other than 21 for FTP and 22 for SFTP, ask your host):


----- Access Information Form -- END -----

Please make sure that you have tested the Super Administrator connection using a different browser or machine than the one you are using daily. Double check that logging in is possible and that the user has Super User privileges, i.e. it's not a regular Administrator. Make sure that your site does not block whole countries or IP ranges which would make it impossible for me to log in / connect by FTP. Finally, please do make sure that the FTP connection works and that logging in to it I have access to your site's files.

Kindly note that your site connection information and your site content is handled in strict confidence. Not only we are a reputable development company, we are also bound by law (EU GDPR) to do so. After you file your reply, the connection information to your site will be stored in an encrypted, hidden storage area on our site and will be automatically deleted when this ticket is closed. Finally keep in mind that the people providing support to you are the same developers who wrote the software you're using on your site.
