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.
Be sure NOT to download jUpgradePRO as, although free component as well, 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.
Background Story
Migration Process
1. Provided that we have Joomla 1.5.26 and JomSocial 2.6.3 website up and running, proceed to Joomla Extension Installer and install com_jupgrade-2.5.2.zip
2. Navigate to the jUpgrade component
The following screen should show up
If System - Mootools Upgrade plugin is disabled, jUpgrade will give you the error screen telling you that you need to enable this plugin before you can upgrade
