Hi,

I've run into an issue with the migration of a second site, from 2.5 to 3.x The migration process completed and all seemed well and so i started going through upgrading all extensions. I upgraded sh404sef and when I tried to access the component I got a message that I needed to activate the plugin. After activating the plugin a got an error message:

Fatal error: Class 'ShlSystem_Log' not found in /public_html/2016update/mmp_upgrade/plugins/system/sh404sef/sh404sef.php on line 42 which is this:

line 42: ShlSystem_Log::error('sh404sef', $msg);

Now I can't access Joomla administrator at all.

Can you please advise how I resolve this?

Thanks in advance

Hi again,

The SH404Sef error is a strange one. I haven't been able to find any related problems when searching on Google, so it would suggest it's a local issue - perhaps an incompatibility with the package itself, or with the local server. I would suggest: please redownload the latest package from the SH404Sef team, to iron out any possible problems with the package. And then uninstall completely the SH404Sef extension - and check in the Extension Manager to ensure it's all gone. Then reinstall the latest package again. Hopefully if there are any issues there it should correct them. If not, please send me a login and I'll take a look for you

The Osmap issue is fortunately very straight-forward: it's just a coding notice to say that a variable hasn't been declared before it's been used. This is more like feedback for a developer rather than an error message. You can avoid notices like this if you open System > Global Configuration and reduce Error Reporting to System Default.

I hope that helps - please let me know if I can help further in any way. Barnaby Dixon

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I did as suggested, renamed the directory and reinstalled the component. I noticed a new directory created when I reinstalled but when I went to activate the system plugin once again I got the same error:

Fatal error: Class 'ShlSystem_Log' not found in 2016update/mmp_upgrade/plugins/system/sh404sef/sh404sef.php on line 42

Hi there

I am guessing the plugin you activated was related to the old version of SH404Sef.

The way forward is to first disable this plugin. You can do so by simply opening /plugins/system/sh404sef in FTP and renaming the directory to sh404sef_disabled or something similar.

Then your admin should load ok. You can then reinstall SH404Sef (again), and it should do the trick.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi there Tushar

To migrate Joomla 1.5 you need MigrateMe (not Plus) available here: https://www.php-web-design.com/Joomla-Components/migrate-me-professional-joomla-3-0-migration.html

This will migrate all your existing content, settings, data, and other information.

You will need to install the latest Joomla 3 version of each extension. If you have plugins that are no longer available for Joomla 3, you will need to find different plugins to do the same task, on the Joomla Extension Database

I hope that helps, please let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help further in any way.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Two years ago I was working with Migrate Me, today with Migrate Me plus. This time I had more than hundred menuitems and several hundreds of K2 items. As you can see, I survived migration from J!2.5 to J!3.5 only because of Migrate Me Plus. If there was no such a nice extension, I think that I'll need more than a lifetime to upgrade...

Author is a great guy, and his support is above al lexpectations. He was like that two years ago, and he is still the same.

Hi Bethany,

Great! I'm glad it's gone well for you.

If you used the Go Live functionality in MigrateMe Plus, then yes you can safely remove the mmp_upgrade directory using Filezilla if you like. It sounds like your server has some sort of permissions issue so isn't allowing the directory to be removed automatically.

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi there,

I've run into an issue with the migration of my site from 2.5 to 3.5. Before to start I upgraded my Template and Modules to the newer versions. The migration process was performed on local computer and when completed all seemed well. The site and template functions well. However, I remarked that I have no access to the particular administrator menu of my joomla site: i.e. Extensions >> Manage (Install, Manage, Database etc.)

I get an error: 404 Component not found.

I tried to find a solution to this but without any success. I am able to access my other backend menu (System, Menus, Content, Components etc.) but not this one.

Can you please advise me how I resolve this?

Thank you in advance

Hello Iwona,

Thank you for getting in touch. I'm not sure exactly what the issue is here. Are you able to access administrator/index.php?option=com_installer if you enter the url directly into your browser?

It's quite unusual that the other bits of the admin would work well, but the extensions manager doesn't work. If the above trick doesn't help, please let me know a good time to run a TeamViewer session and I'll take a look for you

Hi there,

Thank you for your question.

MigrateMe Plus would be installed on Joomla 2.5. And yes, support is completely included in the purchase of MigrateMe Plus. If you need any help at all just let me know!

As far as your third party extension is concerned, please note that your extension would need to be updated to be Joomla 3 compatible. I can take care of this for you if you like, but it would cost extra. If you'd like me to send a quote, please email me a copy of the extension and I will take a look for you

Thanks & all the best,

Hi there,

Thank you for your message. I am not sure if I missed this question you sent last month (see below) so sending another answer just in case

The answer is: yes you would need both MigrateMe and MigrateMe Plus. The underlying frameworks of Joomla 1.5 and 1.6+ are very different so it needs completely different migration techniques.

I hope that helps!

Hi there Rag,

Thank you for your message.

In general, your original urls will stay the same. However, there are a few differences...

Joomla 3 no longer uses sections. MigrateMe will convert your sections (and links to your sections) to categories, so the url will change slightly here.

Also category IDs are rearranged by Joomla 3, since it reserves several IDs for its own use. This means that in some cases your category IDs will change - but where this happens MigrateMe will update your menu items to point to the new category ID.

I hope that helps!

All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Reply to David Buchmueller

Hi there David,

Thank you for your message. MigrateMe Plus will upgrade your existing site on the same server... the way it works is it first gives you a temporary upgraded system, where you can check everything is working as it should. Once you're happy with the new system, just click Go Live to make the upgrade 'live'. This extra step is just to help avoid issues where old plugins are not compatible and need to be updated; but the effect is that you're upgrading a new system 'in place' with the ability to preview the update first.

I hope that helps? All the best, Barnaby Dixon

Hi Ashish,

Thank you for your message. Your code will need to be Joomla 3 compatible to work with Joomla 3. Usually after migration you would just install the latest Joomla 3 version of each extension, but if there is custom code, you'd need to check if it's compatible. In many cases, old Joomla 1.7 custom code is either already completely compatible, or can be upgraded easily, but if you'd like me to take a look to confirm please send me a private email

Hi Barnaby,

I'm not one who typically is motivated to write a review. However, I am compelled to let you know that you're Migrate Me program is a s near perfect as anyone can want. After a week of suffering attempting to upgrate a large 2.5 joomla site by backing up and restoring locally and on multiple servers, I stumbled accross your extension. After hitting the migrate button it just worked. And on a GoDaddy shared server as well!

I now have to justify billing the client for all those hours knowing It would have been far less if I discovered Migreate Me first. I have a bunch of out dated client joomla sites that I am no longer dreading upgrading. I'm actully looking forward to it!

Great work!

That migration from Joomla 2.5 to 3.9 was very long overdue after experience with an other such migration two years ago with an other migration software.

This time it was very easy, also because specific support by Barnaby to overcome a nasty problem caused by an extension not available for Joomla 3.x

Hi Karim

Thank you for your message. If you'd like to upgrade your Joomla you can use MigrateMe Plus.

The error you mentioned is likely due to your server settings - please contact your server to find out why the message has appeared. Likely your file permissions or the server is restricted in some way.

Hello

I want to migrate my database from Joomla 2.5 to 3.9.

My worry:

In my old (current) 2.5 Joomla there are a lot of K2 articles (approx. 2500) and "normal" Joomla articles, and there are also many download articles (JDownloads) integrated (approx. 4000). The downloads themselves are not in the database because they are too large. The "Downloads" are ALL linked, and are on a different domain.

My question:

1. I want to insert all data into a new 3.9 Joomla template (from Joomlart), but the new template has NO K2 component anymore and I don't want to install the K2 anymore either! Can I convert the K2 articles into "normal" Joomla articles when migrating?

2. Are the many download articles a problem?

3. Can I do the migration locally with WAMP?

greeting

Dexter

Hello

1 - To convert K2 to Joomla, you'll need to do this separately, see https://www.google.com/search?q=convert+k2+to+joomla

2 - No problem with many articles it just takes longer

3 - Yes, please ensure you have as high PHP memory available as possible. No problem to use WAMP, although it's slightly slower in my experience due to remote servers generally having a better tuned PHP configuration / running faster on Linux.

Have a great day - Barnaby

Hello Barnaby Dixon,

I have bought this extension yesterday and I have tried it. It works basically well, but for example on the version 3.9.18 admin panel the following message appear: "Joomla 2.5.28 is available: Update Now". This is a little funny, how can I eliminate it?

Is it the normal operation for the database to double the number of tables? After all, why are the old ones still needed?

best regards

Steven

Hey there!

Thanks for your message.

It sounds like (either) you are viewing the old Joomla 2.5 admin, or the Joomla Update cache needs to be refreshed, so the system realises it's now Joomla 3.x

You'll need to test the upgraded environment carefully - both frontend and backend, to ensure it's all working well, and the extensions are all up to date and not showing errors.

Then you can Go Live, this will backup and remove the old system.

Finally if all is well, you can Remove Migration Area, which will remove the duplicate temporary tables.

Please see the User Guide for more information on this full process: https://www.php-web-design.com/migratemeplus.pdf

Best regards,

Barnaby

Hi Barnaby I have another client who wants to thin the size of his website and that may indeed remove some of his issues.

Basically his site is too large 1GB or has some database issues because all site transfers have failed with either a time out or an error.

I thought there would be a way of just migrating or separating his current site by date and archiving the remainder on another URL and server.

For example only move any content files or database tables from a certain date. He started in 2010 so we would only need 2017 or 2018 and forward to 2020.

Migrate them based on that criteria using one of your software tools then replace the existing website with the new files created by your tools.

We have another server we have made a "dev' site for this purpose. If your tool cant replace it we could simply make a backup using Akeeba and replace it using that software.

The goal would be to end up with his live site only having content from 2018 and being a lot smaller and hopefully no other database issues and having an archive site on another server with a new url.

Hopefully that makes sense and you can recoomend one of your pieces of software to accomplish this or even parts of it?

Thank you

Hello,

You could do this with StageIt - this will allow you to create a new development environment, test, reduce size and then move to live.

1Gb isn't really big for a Joomla site, if you're having issues there it'll be:

- Database not correctly set up

- Server resources / memory / speed is poor

- Server disk is outdated (use SSD)

Hope that helps

Good morning,

You'll need to migrate Joomla itself, but then also install the latest Joomla 3.9 compatible versions of your template and other third party extensions.

Kind regards

The template distributor assured me that an upgrade is possible, mentioning the Step by Step procedure (2.5 - 3.x). However, if you assure me that I can do this with the Migrate Me Plus program, I am of course interested.

I also need information on whether you can do such an upgrade.

Hi there,

This is a question for your template distributor, I regret I have no information about your template or the code. If you ask the template support, they should be able to advise.

Hi there

Thank you for your message. It is not possible to do a partial migration, or migrate just a few articles & menu items. Migration is a complex, interlinked process, so you need to migrate your full system, rather than a few limited items.

Good morning Faisal,

Thank you for your email. Great to hear from you!!

Yes, correct when you asked me back in (I think??) 2019, as far as we could tell MigrateMe Plus would be compatible with Joomla 4.x, at least with the betas and available versions at the time.

Unfortunately, the Joomla development team have completely changed many aspects of Joomla, so that MigrateMe Plus cannot be compatible with it. The problem is MigrateMe Plus is compatible currently with Joomla 1.6, 1.7, 2.5 and 3.x. However the Joomla framework has changed so much, it can't also be compatible with Joomla 4.x

So I developed MigrateMe 4, which is fully Joomla 3.x and 4.x compatible, but is not compatible with 1.6/1.7/2.5

All the best, Barnaby

After migrating a basic clean Joomla 3.10 installation to J4, i get errors such as "Class 'JString' not found" when selecting the System tab in the backend.

seems that this class is not supported in J4.

What is the solution for this?

Also - did you use MigrateMe Plus or MigrateMe 4 to run this migration...? As MigrateMe Plus is for migrating as far as Joomla 3.x, while to migrate to Joomla 4, you will need MigrateMe 4.

Best wishes!

Solution: install the latest Joomla 4 version of each third party extension.

The error you noted is nothing to do with MigrateMe 4, only to do with something on your system i.e. a third party extension (probably a plugin), being not Joomla 4 compatible.

Have a great day!
