joomla template conversion from 1.5 to 2.5

My company updated web-site based on Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 version, and now I need to convert template to fit with the new version.

I'm following this tutorial: http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/issue-may-2012/item/740-How-to-convert-Joomla-15-template-to-Joomla-25

I installed the converted version but there are some problems: only the header image is shown. All the articles are hidden.

Looking the source code of the page I discovered that all the <jdoc:include /> tags are copid in the returned HTML without being interpreted, so the components are not imported in the page.

Can you help me?

UPDATE

Turning on debug mode and error reporting an error message is shown:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getMessageQueue() on a non-object in /home/forup/httpdocs/jupgrade/templates/forup_25/functions.php on line 17

Most likely you have a small code error where php isn't closed or similar. Probably it is tiny and hard to see. Start where the html in source finishes rendering correctly, comment out everything between there and the closing tags at the bottom and then look codeblock by codeblock. Also if you don't have error reporting on development, do that now, in case you have a php error somewhere below the header. - Elin
@Elin Unfortunately this is not my problem. I tried to use the original index.php file that works in 1.5 version, but in 2.5 template it doesn't work. the include directive gets no output... - davioooh
some code would help, also any errors - do you have debug enabled and error reporting turned all the way up? - Craig
@cppl thank you for the suggestion, I updated my question - davioooh
You need to show us the code that's causing the error and any template code that leads to it... otherwise it's just guesses by us. - Craig

Replace: $mainframe->getMessageQueue(); 
With: JFactory::getApplication()->getMessageQueue();

In your template php-function prints special tags of cms, like:

echo '<jdoc:include...'; or
print '<jdoc:include...';

Joomla can't process this output.
