Good day!

We're in the process of mgirating our joomla website to a more robust server in microsoft's azure cloud services.
Since we can't use our regular migration method (create a backup with akeeba backup and restore in the final server) I've been tasked with doing the migration manually.

When I attempted to install the latest k2 release (2.7.0), I get the following errors:
JInstaller: :Install: Can't find Joomla XML setup file.
JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file.
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver 11 for SQL Server][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near '`'. SQL=ALTER TABLE #__k2_categories ADD `language` CHAR(7) NOT NULL

I'm not sure how to proceed here. Is there a way that we can install k2 in microsoft's azure database? Or is it better to find a similar component?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

It is a MySQl DB? Try installing 2.7.1 which is the latest release.
If it still fails clean your Joomla site's /tmp folder, remove all K2 related dv tables (ONLY if this is a fresh install) and try again.
