So I’ve been trying to backup my Joomla site for about 2 weeks now. I don’t understand why it wont work. I first opened up my ftp program made a folder called /backup on my remote server, copied all of the files from my /store directory, /store is my joomla site, then I pasted it into /backup. Throughout the whole copying time it kept coming across certain files, for instance .tmp files that it said it couldn’t copy paste for some reason. I had to sit there, it took about 5 hours, cause I had to keep hitting the “ok” button for it to continue. Once it finished I made a copy of my database, exported it and imported it into a database. I tried to load the website and I keep getting this error:
Fatal error: Class jparameter: Cannot inherit from undefined class jregistry in /homepages/37/d158680450/htdocs/Andrew/backup/libraries/joomla/html/parameter.php on line 30
So I just decided to do a “get” of my whole site instead. This time there were no problems it got the website just fine. I imported the sql into my localdatabase and my local /backup of the site works great as you can see here:
So now I clear out the /backup folder on the remote side and put all of the local /backup files online. I try to load the website and it still gives me this error. I’ve tried this about 4 times getting and putting. It works on my localhost but not online I don’t understand why. The main /store that I’m getting the files from work, it’s mind boggling I’m very frustrated with the whole thing.

How very frustrating. Congrats on getting it working locally though. Were you using Filezilla? It would be good to know why certain files were causing the whole process to shut down.
Who is your web host again?

No, I use dreamweavers codeview for editing and I prefer using their ftp as well because its built right in with my editor so I can see all of my local files, remote files, and code at the sametime and just hit get/put/sync while I’m coding.
Yeah, I’m not sure, I think it had something to do with copying/pasting from the remote. Because when I get/put the files instead of copy/paste I wasn’t getting those errors while uploading. But I’m still getting the php error online.
I use 1and1.com
