    • I think you are using MySQL version 5.0. This is a problem that pops up. See if your web-host still has the option to run version 4.1. If they do, you try to export your tables and then attempt an import into a new 4.1 DB.

    • You're missing a table (jos_session) in your database. When you moved hosts, are you sure you got a good database backup and that it imported to your new host correctly?

    • Hi Keith

      I didnt move hosts, I changed the domain name I had with the host from www.simply-kids.co.uk to www.urbancolour.co.uk

      I have had nothing but problems since :-)

      I have been into the host control panel amd deleted the original database (simply kids) and created a new one for Urban

      I am a real beginner and I think it is me that has messed this up

    • I misunderstood. So you simply switched domain names. But you mention that you deleted the previous database and created a new one. Did you install Joomla on the new domain after creating the new database? Was there any import of the old database into the new one?

    • Like I said, I am pretty sure the new DB you created was MySQL 5.0... that is a recurring error with this version of 5.0.

    • Do you have backups of your database, etc?
      If not, after re-creating the site, back it up.

      Best of luck.

      Btw, there is automated backup software out there - joomlacloner is a great one.
