Problem post migration Joomla 2.5.28 to 3.4.4
I had some problem during migration, at the end I rebuild my site with new installation,
but I recover my migrated database succesfully.
All part of site run correctly with last PHP version 5.5.29 but now when I'm trying to work into Phoca Gallery
when I open Images, the system request an account for "privacy"
Some permission or other is missing, but where? How can I restore policy of component?
Thanks.

Hi, what you mean with "an account for "privacy""? Can you paste the exact message or screenshot?

Hi andrea 76,
Is the response like this?: “You cannot access the private section of this site.”
If so, may be something went wrong during your migration with the assets table. Here an explanation about functions of the "assets table":
https://docs.joomla.org/Fixing_the_assets_table
It seems, you have to run sql queries in your database (phpMyAdmin). Such in this way:
Code: Select all
UPDATE `#_assets` SET `parent_id`=1 WHERE `parent_id`=0 AND id>1
UPDATE `#_assets` SET `parent_id`=0 WHERE `title` = 'Root Asset'
'#_assets' > of course with your "Prefix".
(The 'Root Asset' has to be 0)
Here also 1 Thread about:

Kind regards, Christine

Hi,
your screenshot looks like a password protection via
.htpasswd &
.htaccess
So seek for this two files inside your joomla instalation via FTP. Especialy inside:
- /images/
/images/phocagallery/
or anywere else...
If you find this files rename them first (for testing) e.g.
from:
to:
and from:
to:
check if it works then. If yes, you can delete this two files.
Kind regards,
Benno

Thanks for your reply.
Normally I use only .htaccess on site root, I try to disable .htaccess but nothing
I made a test with site configured standard:
no SEO, no SEF, no .htaccess .... recreate categories and images.... always password request!
I don't remember if I migrated site or new installation with manual import of phoca DB...

Hi Andrea76,
I think, you have to differ between a) and b) explanation, see below.
Your URL mentioned on your
screenshot does
NOT exist. May be it exist "somewhere". The URL is "re-directed" or "new" to:
http://www.andrea76.com/J76/ > subdirectory:
/J76
a)

this belongs to (see your screenshot). The word "privacy" could also be another word. It's just a name.
http://www.htaccesstools.com/htaccess-authentication/
.htaccess /
.htpasswd to protect your site.This will also inherit to all other subfolders. There are exceptions, but it's too much now.
b)
I made a test with site configured standard: no SEO, no SEF, no .htaccess
Above has nothing to do with your "privacy" problem. It belongs to:
https://www.norrnext.com/docs/joomla-tu ... -in-joomla
Your site (see above) do not have:
- administrator .htaccess (/administrator) protection >
http://www.andrea76.com/J76/administrat ... joomla.xml
- there ist no .htaccess file (re-named htaccess.txt) for e.g. mod_rewrite (configuration-backend) see under b)
- and/or # Rewrite Base to > Rewrite Base resp. Rewrite Base / (if subfolder)
- On above URL there is no phocagallery. There are several generell "Test-" infos & links about Joomla.
Kind regards, Christine

Thanks but with this configuration the problem is the same.

.htaccess on joomla root:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /J76/
#
# Rules
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|pl|txt)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
I'm not expert but I think that problem is something about users permissions post migration...
.........making test...............

mmmmmm this is a news: I have the same problem with All Videos Share!
I'm sure, the problem is porting DB from old site to new.
I have lost something about users permissions!
No components problem, but horrible DB!
I don't want recreate all!

Thanks for all!

Hi Andrea76,
sorry, hv lost your post. But copied latest infos:
there is no: ....
/home/ [error 404] ..... and if so, may be migration from an older Joomla version?
What else is "inside" from "home"? FTP
Check again:
folder: /web/htdocs/
www.andrea76.com/J76/images/phocagallery/webalbum/
URL:
http://www.andrea76.com/J76/images/phoc ... /webalbum/
Kind regards, Christine
