Dear Sir,

Thanks a lot for reply... i am not using jupgrade... i use SP Upgrade... and followed that steps...

The functionality is working if i access through URL... only the menus are not available... able to guess what could be the issue ?

Thanks,

Well, if you really would checked mentioned by me thread you would see this

...

Step1: ...

Akeeba Backup

Step2: ...

Akeeba Backup
Step3: ...

Akeeba Backup   (Name your backup to indicate a patched Joomla and VM version)

Steps4: ...

Akeeba Backup (Name your backup to indicate upgraded Joomla and old VM version)

Step5: ... If you have done the migration and did not see the image related to the product, doing the migration again will not help fix it. You will need to restart the step 5 process from last akeeba backup,(drop all database before restore, i decide to drop the DB for simplicity although only certain tables are required to be cleared)

Akeeba Backup (Name your backup to indicate upgraded Joomla and Upgraded VM version)

Step6: ...

Note:
- I use "https://www.akeebabackup.com/download/official/akeeba-kickstart.html" to restore

Hope this guide help save you some time.

Now I hope you could see that migrating is REALLY not a simple process.

It's necessary to backup after each step of migrating. Backups could be helpful when something going wrong.

In your case you still could repeat migrating but with more recommended method. You didn't use mentioned by me method and you didn't make backups after each step.

Also I could admit that this method of migrating is rather stable. I myself successfully used it a couple times.
