Overview
There is a lot of confusion about the migration process of Joomla 1.5
Should you move the database tables manually? Should you move content? Move users? Copy or import anything manually?
All these questions seem to bother most of us, therefore it is important to understand what is going in the background of the Joomla based site migration.
Software for Migration
We will need the following software to do the proper migration
- Joomla 1.5.26 - Installed and running. If you still for whatever reason use any older Joomla version, update it prior to the migration. You can find upgrade packages here
- JomSocial 2.6 - Installed and running. If you use any older version of JomSocial, follow this guide to update your JomSocial instance to version 2.6
- com_jupgrade_2.5.2.zip - This is the FREE migration tool provided by redCOMPONENT. You will need to register on their site and download this tool. At the time of writting this article, the download package was named com_jupgrade_2.5.2.
Be sure NOT to download jUpgradePRO as, although also the free component, official documentation for it is virtually non-existent, or at least we weren't able to find it. com_jupgrade_2.5.2.zip will do the work just fine. Of course, you are free to experiment with PRO version too.
