Joomla! version: 2.5.4
PHP version: 5.3.1
MySQL version: 5.1.44
Host: localhost
Akeeba Backup version: 3.5.1
Description of my issue:
I do a full backup of my WebSite everyday using Akeeba Backup, and download the backup file with my FTP program using Binary Transfer Type.
From time to time (as advised by the Akeeba team), I test the backup in my local machine (Mac OSX with XAMPP).
My last restoration was using ABI 3.3.13. And, since yesterday, I am trying to restore my last backup (that uses ABI 3.5.1) with no success.
With any files that uses ABI 3.3.13 (I tried 3 different backup files with this version of ABI), the sequence is correct as following:
(using kickstart 3.5.1)
1) The system extracts correctly all my files and present me "Run the installer";
2) Show me that my local server has only "Display errors" setting without the recommended configuration (I click Next);
3) The system present me a "Warning Dialog" that is ok, and I click "Yes";
4) The first DB is "Site's Main Database";
5) The "Database type" is already filled with "Mysqli";
6) I fill out the form: Database server host name: 127.0.0.1 (tried localhost as well), User name, Password, Database name and click Next;
7) The progress bar is presented, and goes 'til the end and I click "Ok";
8) Steps 3-7 are presented again, twice, for my 2 extras DB's configured with Akeeba Backup (the only difference is the correct name on step 4);
9) The page "Site Setup" is presented, I just uncheck "Enable FTP Layer" and click "Next";
10) The confirmation page is presented and I click on "remove the installation directory" link;
11) And my site is fully working in my localhost.
The problem will be depicted now.
If I try to do the steps above with a file that uses ABI 3.5.1 or 3.5.0, there are problems with some points numbered above:
3) No "Warning Dialog" is shown in any of the three DB's;
4) The first DB is not the site's main anymore, it shows me first the two extras DB's and the main is the last one to be shown;
5) The "Database Type" is not filled with "Mysqli" anymore, I have to change it from "Mysql" to "Mysqli" manually;
The last DB to be presented is the Site's Main Database. I fill out the form, click Next, the progress bar shows up, I click "Ok" when the progress bar is full, and the system goes, again, to the same "Site's Main Database" page. And if I fill out the form again, it does it again and again... never going to the step 9.
One last information: If I try to restore a backup file that uses ABI 3.4.3, I have succes. The only problem is the absence of the Warning Dialog (step 3), but I can finish the restoration with success.
I hope I have presented all the information necessary.
Kind regards,
Thyago
