Describe here your question/suggestion/issue (expected and actual results):
I have a 3.4.8 Joomla installation, up and running, on Amazon AWS (mysite.com). As it's aged, and I missed to update regularly, I am trying to perform an upgrade to the latest version (3.9.19) , referring to:
https://docs.bitnami.com/bch/how-to/migrate-joomla
I am working on a backup EC2 instance (accessible on mysite2.com), leaving the production site untouched.
I have been following the steps in the tutorial, so I won't recall them right now.
The .jpa I am working on is the one obtained from the current Akeeba backup instance (Akeeba Backup Core 6.4.0 (2019-02-12)
After services restart , they look like up and running: sudo ./ctlscript.sh status
apache already running
mysql already running
But when I fire on my browser mysite2.com, I get the bitnami welcome page:
Awesome! Joomla! is now installed.
Access Joomla!
but clicking on Access Joomla! a blank page is returned (pointing to "mysite2.com/joomla") Ditto for the the backend administration "mysite2.com/joomla/administrator". No errors.
The Apache error log (below) refers to "Joomla\String\String" (don't understand)
Note: The IP 88.147.109.29 is the one my browser is seen from.
Thank you for helping!
