I am having the same issues as http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=26588.0 but the fixes are not working.
When I run the DB Upgrade Utility, the Apache error_log show the path being truncated;
What I am getting is:

Code: [Select]

[Wed Oct 15 20:42:43 2014] [error] [client 10.0.1.155] File does not exist: /var/www/joomlaroot/public_html/css, referer: http://www2.domainname.org/joomlaroot/public_html/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/upgrade/queue/runner&reset=1&qrid=CRM_Upgrade

What I should be getting is:

Code: [Select]

[Wed Oct 15 20:42:43 2014] [error] [client 10.0.1.155] File does not exist: /var/www/joomlaroot/public_html/[b]administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/[/b]css, referer: http://www2.domainname.org/joomlaroot/public_html/administrator/?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/upgrade/queue/runner&reset=1&qrid=CRM_Upgrade

All the Directories, Resource URLs, and paths in civicrm.config.php and both civicrm.settings.php are correct including ~/media/civicrm/ConfigAndLog/Config.IDS.ini are correct.

Additionally, when I remove the ~/media/civicrm/templates_c/en_US directory and Config.IDS.ini and then refresh the GUI, files do write to the cache folder but Config.IDS.ini does NOT get recreated. Even if I go back and reenter all the settings and Save again.

Further, navigation menu will not appear.

Okay, Eileen McNaughton figured it out. She has a lot of patience. I'm the imbecile.

When doing a migration or replacing the database, the Resource URL doesn't not get updated despite having initially installed a fresh installation (aka codebase) of CiviCRM. So, two things to remember:

For Joomla, the Resource URL is http://(siteURL)/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm
Next, in the database, set config_backend to NULL in table civicrm_domain. If you are using PHPMyAdmin, there is a tick box for it. Under no circumstances delete the data in the text box and enter the word "NULL". That won't work.
Go back to the CiviCRM dashboard and refresh the browser screen. The menu bar should come alive.
Check the path in both civicrm.setting.php files and civicrm.config.php file. You should know where they are.
Clear the template_c cache
Refresh the dashboard screen again. Go through all your settings again.
Finally, check the new data in config_backend. Look for the path or URL. Usually, http://.../administrator/index.php?... will be missing. Just add it back in.
Clear the cache again. Clear your browser cache. Refresh the screen and all should be well in the world again.
