I upgraded my joomla 1.5 template to 2.5 and uploaded the template. When I set it as the default and tried to view the site I get:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/content/02/7822402/html/j25/libraries/gantry/gantry.php on line 267
...something to due with cache...
I am newby and have no idea where to start.
Also when I click the template i Template Manager I get:
500 - An error has occurred.
String could not be parsed as XML

How did you migrate the site?
Are you using latest versions of everything?
what template?
do you meet specs...
System Requirements:
Apache 2.x or Microsoft IIS 7
PHP support for the SQLite PDO driver
PHP support for the MySQL PDO driver
MySQL (5.0.4 or higher) with InnoDB support
PHP support for PDO
PHP support for GD2
PHP 5.3.x and above
Also, if you are running Joomla 3.0, the minimum specs for Joomla 3.0 are found here http://www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=675&t=180131&rb_v=viewtopic - you can safely ignore this link if you are running J2.5.
Could you please post a URL to your site so we can look for you. Without a link to page where the problem is on your site it is quite hard for us to provide the best solution due to so many variables. We try to provide file names and line numbers for code changes and if changes have already been made then our advice may be incorrect.

Thank for your response......upgrading
basicslandscaping.com
.
1) I installed Joomla 2.5 ( GoDaddy ) in basicslandscaping.com/j25/ .
2) I used SP Ugrade to migrate site. The template was called 'basics' if that means anything and Juxta & Gantry were also installed in original site.
3) I used this tutorial to upgrade template.
4) I installed Justa 1.6.3 bundled ( Gantry )
5) Installed 'basics25.zip ( changed name from basics )
6) Do you need login info or anything else?
One thing is I do not know is, if any other folders/files from 'basics' or 'gantry' files from 'basics' need to be upgraded also?
Thanks

I don't know what "basics" template is?
if you installed juxta bundle - you will also need to install the necessary RT extensions too and ensure that any already installed are the latest version too.
i have to say that renaming files folders is not the way I would recommend for migrating an old site from 1.5 I would suggest:
1. create new joomla 2.5 install and add juxta template for 2.5
2. install j2xml on your j1.5 site and export the articles/category content
3. install j2xml importer on j2.5 site and import the articles/categories from your old site.
4. recreate menus manually to that content.
5. create a custom CSS file and add any necessary CSS customisations from yyour old site (but do verify each of the CSS statements as they may be different in J2.5 structure).

if you install juxta bundle - that contains the gantry framework as part of the bundle.

I managed to get j2xml functioning on both sites. I am unclear if:
1) Should I export 'Categories' or 'Sections' or just all the 'Articles' separately. I am just learning Joomla, what would you recommend?
Thanks and I appreciate your help.
