It turned out to be a file ownership/permission issue.

I think all is well now.

I had do delete my beta record collection site and reinstall Joomla.

Before I deleted, I exported the database locally.  I then reinstalled the website and imported the database.  However, very worryingly, there are no records anywhere on the site.

Please help.

Thanks,

Neil
