I have made a clone site of my live site with Akeeba backup
J2.5.28 & VM2.6.14
I published it on my localhost (My iMac)(MAMP) and it fully worked.
I updated all extensions, disabled some, added -bak to custom.css and then went to upgrading to VM3.0.62.
All now looked fine in the backend, but when I tried to view the fronted, I was faces with 404.
I understand there can be many different issues, but I am hoping I could find some good tips from you VM Gurus on what to start checking.
My next step is, of course an upgrade of this site, to Joomla 3.
What should I then be prepared on?
My live site: www.tingshop.com
Edit/Update: Of course I didn't change to another template, like Beez2 or 5. Now done. But still there is trouble, "#404 - can't find component". There is a link to the "startpage" and when I click it, I am transfered to my live site.
Cheers

Seems it's a joomla 3.4 bug with the extentions ID on upgrade.
i found this tread http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=710&t=874637. speaking from this bug and a french user has same problem.
If you have not updated to joomla 3.4. it's not this bug.
Hi. Well no, this is without the Joomla upgrade.
When I upgraded to J3, i got "500" at the frontend and JHtml: :jquery is not supported. The file doesn't exist.
I wonder, isn't it possible to first install a package with J3 and VM3, then import the database of the live shop?

try a default joomla template
re the 404 - check in the configuration.php that no $livesite is set - it should be blank
also check gzip is off (=0)

Thanks.
Yes, gzip is set to off.
There is no such as "$livesite" in the configuration.php. Not in the config file that's in the root. Should I look somewhere else? (I understand your thoughts, some link must be there, since it leads to the live site.)

Hi, If you mean Atomic, Beez_20 or Beez5 - yes, these are the ones I have tested with. Or do you mean any else. I was thinking, there must be a VM-template. But I am probably wrong about that. (..?)
yes - he meant the std. protostar etc
re live site - unusual u don't at least have an empty entry as it is written from the configuration.php-dist on install
public $live_site = ''; // Optional, full url to Joomla install.
but if not there can't be that..
checked or disabled the .htaccess if there?
.htaccess, I have removed.
have you tried "rebuild menu items" ?
Hi, sorry, missed the public $live_site = '';
I's on board. (and empty)
@PRO, how and where do I "rebuild menu items"? Sorry for my ignorance, still learnig...
