Two equal Joomla sites in different domains, behave differently - database

I have a site and since a few days, it has a problem. My site is prosklitiria-mostracarta.gr
I make another "TEST" site. ellinixx.gr
When i already finish the ellinixx.gr site and WORKS PERFECT, i copy the ellinixx.gr site and the database to old site : prosklitiria-mostracarta.gr
Now the two sites must be the same, but i have problem.
try to see
http://ellinixx.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=116
and try to see
http://prosklitiria-mostracarta.gr/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=116
The first site has 160+ photos, but the prosklitiria-mostracarta.gr site has LESS than 80 photos...
But the sites is Sames... Copy... And database too...
All are the sames...
why cannot display all the images ?
In localhost (local) the site works perfect.
If i put it on other domain, it works perfect.
But in domain prosklitiria-mostracarta.gr the site does NOT display all the images :(
Can someone help me...?

Jackjoe has the answer - install Akeeba Backup and move the site again using that component. I move sites from our development server to live all the time and I've never had one fail when using Akeeba Backup.
How did you move the site? Something is obviously different or the site would be the same. The images are there, but SIG Pro isn't adding them to the article.

I have used this tutorial a couple of times: link to howtojoomla.net

Multiple Portal Content Export/Backup

I have multiple portals on my DNN host, each with their own set of 2SXC Content/Apps. Is there a way to export content/apps from all portals without having to go into each portal separately? I don't necessarily want to back up an entire server, when the only thing that has changed is perhaps some content on the site.
The reason this has come up is because I recently had a site that has become unreachable. It exists on the server, but does not respond to any requests. Since I cannot log into the site, I cannot backup their 2SXC Content & Apps. And the only way to do a proper backup across all sites is to image the entire server and database.
There is no way to export everything, BUT you can cheat :)
If you open an App-Admin-Dialog (or the "Manage All Apps" dialog) with Shift-Click, you'll get a new window and that will contain a zone-id and app-id in the URL. You can mess with these to actually point to the other portal / app and do an export from there.
But you may run into problems when exporting - because some paths may be wrong. But I would give it a try before you do anything else.

Weird permalink after install a new database Wordpress

I moved my old database from Yahoo servers to a new place. The new server already had a database, so what I did was integrate the old database into the new database. Originally in Yahoo, my website had the following permalink:
mysite.com/wordpress/services/web-design
For the Yahoo servers is mandatory to use an additional file if your domain, if your site will be developed in Wordpress (... mysite.com/wordpress/) you can put whatever name you want to that file but there should always be a file. As this is very bad for SEO, I moved my site to a new place. In the new server, my permalinks are:
mysite.com/services/web-design
Everything ok, however when I try to open the "graphic design" page the permalink is like this:
mysite.com/services/js-jquery-2/
First I tried to confirm that maybe there was a post or page created with that strange name. After checking everything was fine, there was no page or post with that name. Then I made a full search for the word "js-jquery-2" throughout the server (using the keyword search function from Dreamweaver) (I have the server as a backup on my computer.) No word was found in the entire server. Maybe is at the database, this strange word is maybe saved there but I do not know how to locate it, in any case finding this word is perhaps not the solution.
Other thing I notice is that there are two groups of tables inside the database with almost the same names, for example there is a "wp_options" and there is a "wp_vzea_options", they share almost the same, should I try do delete a group ? thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Cannot log in to Drupal site

I have a VM that I set up to do development on two sites hosted on Acquia with the same codebase. I'm using version Drupal 7.26. I have it where I can access both sites from the host computer, but when I try to log in using /user/login on either site, I get nothing. The POST returns a 404 containing the log in page again.
I've tried settings $cookie_domain = '.my-site.dev' as well as $cookie = 'www.mysite.dev'. Neither has any effect. I also tried adding a bunch of random charactersto the file to make sure I was editing the correct file; with the random characters, pages didn't load at all. (See https://www.drupal.org/node/611920#comment-3110010.)
I also tried doing repair table sessions. I forgot which site I saw that recommendation from. I also tried delete from sessions just for kicks. Neither worked.
Any ideas? Thanks!
edit: Per https://www.drupal.org/node/261411#comment-3182566, I tried to go to www.mysite.dev/?q=user/login. This did not give me a 404, but I had tried (unsuccessfully, it seems) to reset my password through the database. I'm at least getting an error about a bad username/password combination rather than nothing at all. Still, I would think /user/login should have worked, too.
edit 2: The production site uses CAS, but logging in through /user/login still works.

What files make one Wordpress site different from another

Migrating wordpress sites between hosts can take a lot of time, especially when the hosting platforms are different.
I have been trying to migrate my sites from Cpanel to Mediatemple, but it seems like im just not getting it right.
There is various options
Use the guide they provide
https://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/1556/Migrating+your+websites+to+the+Grid#gs
When moving the files in this way the permissions of the files are not set properly and I would have to got back through them and figure out which ones need to change.
The database export from PHPMyAdmin also does not look the same it looks in the screenshot
Using InfiniteWP
To use InfiniteWP you must provide the url of the site and since I dont want to change the DNS until the site is moved this option does not seems to be ideal.
This option might work if its ok for the sites to be unavailable for a day or so while the DNS resolves...
But I don't want the sites to be unavailable
Using Mediatemples "one click apps" to install wordpress and then moving only the files that are unique to the site from the old host to the new host.
I would like to use this option
I think that the content of the WP-Content folder needs to be moved that the database needs to be moved.
My question is
- what folders and files in a standard wordpress install typically hardly ever changes from one site to the other.
- can I use the wordpress database export and import function to move the database from one site to the other.
Any help will be appreciated
Thank you
With InfiniteWP, you can use the clone an existing site command (which can be found in "Tool"->"Install / Clone WP") to migrate a site to a new server.
You have to use a temporary (sub)domain pointing to the new server.
To answer your questions :
/wp-content/ stores all your files and sometimes plugin files, wp-config.php is where your configuration is stored (e.g. credentials to access the database). Depending on your servers, the .htaccess files may be different.
I would recommend to create a dump file of your entire database using phpMyAdmin.

Smarty web site inner pages are not working

I am doing a task in a site which is done by other programmer in Smarty.
Basic flow of my task
In admin panel, the user upload a CSV file
Using cron the CSV file data to be stored in MySQL database. It is a Godaddy's shared hosting.
Right now the cron is executing but the data are not import. I have to fix this issue. This is the task I am working on it for last couple of days.
Note - It is not completed. I am working on it.
Issue
Today client sent an email that inner pages of the site is not working. But I worked only in the admin panel of the site. I am sure that I worked in admin folder. Client said the front end was worked before I start the work.
My doubt is, when I investigate the issue I got a clue.
that is home page is working fine, the menus for the homepage are loaded properly from database. only few pages are having 404 error only if it has SEF URL
i.e
1) http://www.example.com/category/Baseball-MLB - is SEF url and not working, but it is working fine in URL - http://www.example.com/category.php?arg1=Baseball-MLB
The same type of links working for many pages and not worked for SEF urls.
I am not sure what makes this issue. I tried in forums but did not get a solution.
The site is in live so I have to fix it as soon as possible.
