[TYPO3-english] Preparing a staging site from a live environment

Hi,

This error can happen if serialized data in the database dump are not 
transferred correctly. Make sure no conversion at all happens during 
export/import, try  --hex-blob export option, etc.

The field "templatemapping" of table  tx_templavoila_tmplobj contains 
serialized data and if that is corrupted you could get such errors.

If for instance you have some kind of character converiosn going on 
during import/export, the length of the serialized parts will change and 
data will be corrupted.

If both databases are properly set up for UTF-8 and nothign but UTF-8 
from the start this shouldn't happen unless the dump is being passed 
through something that mangles it. However this problem can happen with 
old sites that didn't have a proper UTF-8 setup.

Otherwise, regarding redirects:

did you verify that your sys_domain entries are correct?

What happens when you deactivate cooluri for the moment?

Best regards,

Christian
