  • 0

I created a Working Joomla 2.5 website in a sub domain. When I moved the site to the root and out of the sub domain folder I get the following error when I log out. Fatal error: Call to a member function init() on a non-object in /directory/templates/rt_clarion/error.php on line 20

The build works fine in the sub domain but not in the root. I’ve tried the stock Joomla Templates and I still get an error at logout. I tried disabling the Joomla SEF, nothing. Anyone have any ideas what might be?

The site was moved by using akeeba backup and restoring it in the root directory.

I’m using Joomla 2.5.4, K2 v2.5.7, Rockettheme Template Clarion v1.2. Again the build works flawlessly in the subdomain.

    First step find out what is causing the server to throw a 500 error – check your servers log file. It may be a simple as a permissions problem, eg. most servers are configure to throw a 500 error if the destination has permissions of 777.

    After moving a Joomla! installation from a sub-domain you may need to update the Global Configuration – you can either do this through the Admin screens or by directly editing configuration.php. This often happens when people create the Joomla! site in a sub-directory and the move the site and delete the sub-directory.

    The things you need to check are the paths to things like log & tmp directories, e.g.

    public $log_path = '/host/public_html/asite/sub-directory/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/host/public_html/asite/sub-directory/tmp';

    May need to be changed to:

    public $log_path = '/host/public_html/asite/logs';
public $tmp_path = '/host/public_html/asite/tmp';
