Running
Joomla 1.5.21 & Virtuemart1.1.5
This is what I have done so far....
I copied an existing website that was running Joomla & Virtuemart, scripted out & created (with all the existing data) the MySql tables, changing the prefix of the tables & updated the Joomla configuration file to point to the new db (changing the username/password & table prefix). But now I when I login to the back end & update a virtuemart item, the site I copied this site from gets updated.
So my question is, where in virtuemart are the database settings??
AHIA,
LarryR....
In administrator/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php change your SITEURL

I downloaded a old magento site and installed it on my local server.
My admin panel is working perfect but products are not listed in frontend.
Links on the front end page are also not working.
When you say that you 'downloaded an old magento site', do you mean that you just copied down the folder structure?
If so, this won't have copied the product database, which is an entirely separate entity to the php/js/html/css that comprises the file structure.
Try reindexing and clearing the cache. Also, did you make sure the Base urls were updated in core_config_data database table?
I have just moved a Magento install from one server to another, and this is a change of domain too. I have moved all files from one /httpdocs directory to another /httpdocs directory.
I have uploaded the new database and imported the data as well as updated the local.xml file to point to the new database.
But when the site loads I get a default looking Magento page, rather than the correctly skinned Magento store.
Is there some config I have missed?
Make changes in your DB :
In core_config_data table, the values you need to change are in the path column. Change the web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url to match the new domain name by altering the value column for both records.
After that clear all catch, may you forget to do this step.
The answer is here, look at step 4. http://www.atwix.com/magento/moving-magento-to-another-server/
Log in to admin panel and go to System->Configuration->GENERAL/Design
Open package and themes, then set your custom package & themes name here. After that clear all cache from System->Manage Cache.
Hope it will work!
Site move error:
1) We moved the entire site (zip format) and extracted on server.
2) Created the database instance
3) Updated the database urls in config table and local.xml updated with new details.
When I check in browser, it executes site correctly but templates settings and sliders images tables are deleted and recreated with default entries, because "sql" folder has commands like :
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_slide')};
CREATE TABLE {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_slide')}
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_category')};
CREATE TABLE {$this->getTable('mtslideshow_category')}
Same for some content pages also footer etc are roll backed to default.
How to deal with this issue?
Here I'm facing this issue: http://demo.aarnasystems.net/magento/lacxodemo/index.php/
Logo slider, Amasty filter settings, footer design changes are rolled back.
Please let me know, how to avoid to reinitializing the modules on database connection.
Thanks,
Kiran
But you did copy the entire database to a new server? Because if in core_resource table there would be entry for mtslideshow extension with the same version that it had on the last server, then sql shouldn't be run again.
A simple question
I have a Joomla 2.5 with VirtueMart 2.0 installed.
This website has been upgraded from Joomla 1.5, and my migration process was done "manually" (database scripts which filled the new Virtuemart tables from old ones)
I am unable to add a media file to a product, which is supposed to be a very simple function
I go to the media file manager for the product and click the "New" link
The media file is uploaded & created, but it is not linked to the product
Thanks
If you are using VM2.0 or above Then you can find a table name with #__virtuemart_product_medias In this table VM keeping product id and media id.
You will get all the images that assigned with a product from this table.
Also from the product details tab in admin you can choose multiple images for a single product.
If you are upgraded keep a new version separate and compare and update to your upgrading site.
Hope it will helps..
I am so stumped with this and I need some help from the community. I moved my joomla site over to a new server and now the content has disappeared from the front end, I am not getting an errors.... Can someone offer any suggestions on where to look for the problem? my config is fine and I am pretty sure my database is aswell because all my original articles are there.
I am running Joomla 1.5

If you moved to a new server at a different hosting company, Joomla is probably either
not looking in the right place for the database, or
not using the right credentials (host, port, username, password, whatever) for the database.
That might also be true if you moved to a different server at the same hosting company, although it's a little less likely. Look at the configuration.php file.
Assuming you have shell access, make sure you can access the database through its command-line utility. Then make sure Joomla is using the same credentials.
This is a really odd one.
The database credentials are obviously correct otherwise the site wouldn't load at all and would result in a MySQL error. Try re-assigning a new temporary article to the homepage else download the K2 component, import your articles and assign the K2 article to the homepage.
Update:
If you have the demo package for the template you are using the follow these steps:
create a sub domain
install the demo package with sample data
export the #__content database table from the main website
replace the #__content table with the one you exported
Make sure your error reporting is on in your server's php.ini file so that you can see what errors php is giving i.e. error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED
In admin panel, can you see the articles in content menu?
If so, enter in each article and push the Save button.
After you save the article, it should appear again in frontpage (that worked for me).
