localhost install of Hotstart file - error message

I have install XAMPP Version 2.5 on my local machine to build and test sites before upload. Localhost works fine with Joomla 2.5.4 build with the standard sample date.

When I unzip and install the Hot_Destinations25_hotstart zip file into my local htdocs folder (a newly created subfolder I called Joomla 25_1) it installs OK, I remove the temporary install files and it goes to the Administrator Page. Above the administrator module I get 3 lines of code:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in \xampp\htdocs\joomla25_1\administrator\includes\application.php on line 276

Strict Standards: Creating default object from empty value in \xampp\htdocs\joomla25_1\administrator\includes\application.php on line 276

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$params in \xampp\htdocs\joomla25_1\administrator\includes\application.php on line 277

If I select View Site site it runs OK except for an overflow error message in the scroller

any ideas/fixes greatly appreciated?

That are only warnings, you can disable them. Open index.php of template and put this line:

error_reporting(0);

above:

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

Thanks Ivan, that worked perfectly. I still have the similar issue with the Adimistrator page, it shows 3 lines of warnings and no icons. If you click on view site or log out they work, but no other access into Administration.

Any ideas on fixing that? The template itself looks great, really excellent

Check if debugging is turned off in global configuration.

public $access = '1';
public $debug = '0';
public $debug_lang = '0';

These are the settings in configuration.php, is this what you mean?

you can disable that messages in php.ini
