Magento 1.x installation Error - magento

Did magento removed 1.x after releasing magento 2, I am getting 404 error during download from this:
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.9.0.1/magento-1.9.0.1.tar.gz
Is there any alternative to use Magento 1.x, because the extensions which i am planning to use is not compatible with magento 2.
Thanks!

You can no longer use wget to get magento (at least from the official Magento's website). You have to follow this link: https://www.magentocommerce.com/download and then click on the 'Release Archive' tab. There you can find and download magento v1.9.2.4 (and other previous releases) in various formats (zip, gz, bz2) . After download completes, you can upload it to your webserver and install it.

you can get magento 1 from here
https://www.openmage.org/.
They have latest disponible stable version of magento 1.

Do I need to install old patches after installing Magento 1.9.2.4?

I just download and installed Magento community edition version 1.9.2.4. Do I need to install old patches, including 7405? And have any patches for Magento community edition 1.9.2.4 been released yet? I see a notification that shows "You have 13 critical updates". What should I do now?
you can scan your site here & it will give what and all security measures you need to take....
Ignore notifications related to patch, this version already have all patches inside. You just have to scan on magereport.com when your shop url is available online.
Magento 1.9.2.4 included all security patches you do not need to install any patch, just ignore notification and check your online store url from here

Magento upgrade from 1.5 to 1.7

I am upgrading magento version 1.5 store to magento version 1.7. Current store has more than 1000 products, more than 100 categories, more than 20 attribute sets, more than 500 customers,more than 500 orders and Database size is more than 600MB.
Above details are mentioned in order to have the idea of store size. Furthermore, I am trying it on local machine with wamp server installed.
Here are the steps involved to upgrade:
Export Current Database (Imported it in gzipped format with option "Disable foreign key checks" checked). As I was unable to export it in normal sql formate due to large size of database.
Created new database and imported the Database exported.
Downloaded fresh 1.7 stable version from magentocommerce.com
Tried to install this fresh magento 1.7 in newly created Database, in which exported database was recently imported.
Next steps were to install theme, copy extensions and copy media folders.
But when I tried to install magento 1.7, it always give me this error :
"This webpage has a redirect loop
The webpage at http://localhost/magento17/index.php/install/ has resulted in too many redirects. "
Here is the link to which I was following:
Link I followed
Note that my main focus is upgrading from 1.5 to 1.7, so much focus must be on that rather then resolving this issue if it is not the right way to do.
And If there is any better and proven way to upgrade to 1.7 from 1.5, kindly share it.
If you want to upgrade you dont need to install and move DB and theme.
Refer this link.
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/upgrading_magento
Note: If you followed best practices in Magento and didn't modify core code then upgrade should run smoothly.
Expected issues are that your Local and Community folder modules might need some fixes.

How to check Magento Connect 2.0 extension source before downloading

I'm leery of just installing community extensions, even with my version control. Is there a way to get the tgz so I can unpack it and inspect the extension before installing it?
As described on this site, Magento Connect 2.0 has a specific format that is easy to decipher. 1st get the Magento Connect 2.0 key. Example:
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Raveinfosys_Deleteorder
Then go to Magento Commerce website for that extension to find its version in the Release Notes tab. For this example, the latest version is 1.0.3
Now, combine the original key into this URL:
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Raveinfosys_Deleteorder/1.0.3/Raveinfosys_Deleteorder-1.0.3.tgz
I specifically use this command to download the extension to my work's internal server:
wget http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Raveinfosys_Deleteorder/1.0.3/Raveinfosys_Deleteorder-1.0.3.tgz
... and then I'll normally make changes to those files to fit our template, ie change from default/default to default/my_template. Once I'm all happy I re-tar these files, scp the new tar-ball to my live site, and tar -xzvf via the ssh shell at Magento root.
I don't use magento connect... probably should, just can't bring myself to "trust" it blindly.
Or to make generic:
http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/Package_Name/[ver]/Package_Name-[ver].tgz
Some websites offer the links or proxied links to download any mangeto package from mangento connect as .tgz file (that is a gzip'ed tar-file). You get the standard magento PEAR package then.
These sites require the Magento Connect key to obtain the package:
Direct Download Magento Extension Without Pear (Tangkoko)
Download Magento Extension (http://freegento.com/) (only latest package version)
The first site offers a link to the package on the Magento Connect web-server, so that you can see how it works.
For Magento Connect 2.0 it is also written about how it works in a blog-post and there is a bash script that shows it pretty well on github.

Magento update from 1.4.2 to 1.7

I have problem with update magento 1.4.2 to 1.7. When I try to use ./pear list-upgrades, I get the message of not having any upgrades at the moment.
Am I missing anything ?
And when reading tutorial on the net, they use ./mage which is a replacement for ./pear, where can I get it and can I use it for the current version of Magento ?
Thanks,
Just install the 1.7.0.2 files on top of the existing install (in a test environment of course). Clear the cache and voila, upgraded.
If you want that Upagrade Magento without problem then It not Possible, I am do this and its work for me
But you can do this for Upgrade Magento 1.4 to 1.7
1) Backup your current Site Files and Database, and Do this on local because when you Upgrade do not reload page before complete all steps
2) Download Newer Version From http://www.magentocommerce.com/download here,
then Extract that zip file in Directory
3) Upload newer Version Files on your Current Site
4) Delete your site cache, Index Management
5) Reload your Current Site, your database upgrade automatically don't anything with Database
now you can see the database vesion at bottom ver 1.7 [what ever you upgrade]
Enjoy!!!

Upgrading Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4

I'm trying to upgrade Joomla Version 1.5.20 to Joomla Version 2.5.4.
I've upgraded other CMS's in the past, but Joomla seems to be a little different. Does anyone have any advice as to the best way to upgrade?
So far I've:
Downloaded the entire site
Exported the database via phpMyAdmin
I've installed MAMP and Joomla locally and I'm trying to replicate their site on my machine in attempt to upgrade locally before doing it live. I've loaded the template, but haven't been able to load the content yet.
There seems to be a lot of versions between 1.5.20 and 2.5.4, and it's making me a bit nervous.
You can't directly upgrade from a Joomla! 1.5.x version to the 2.5.x line, it's a migration.
As the 2.5 line is a big change to Joomla! you will have to find 2.5 versions of:
the template you're using
any custom extensions (ie. components, plug-ins, modules etc)
Version 2.5 has new technical requirements so you will need to check that your server meets those.
Once you've got all that resolved.
First thing you should do is upgrade a backup of your 1.5.x site to the latest version ie. 1.5.26 as it fixes some security issues, and the recent versions included 1 or 2 bugs that help with the migration.
Once you have that working you will need to use a migration tool as discussed in this document. Please note that while this document references JUpgrade, you would probably be better off looking at one of the other conversion tools, especially the commercial products (which aren't expensive at all).
We're about half way through migrating over 200 client websites and while we started out with the free 'recommended' component we now use the commercial SP Upgrade (I have no affiliation with this product other than purchasing it and using it happily).
To upgrade joomla the plugin JUpgrade is one of the options. its quite easy tool.
updation can only required some clicks.
Here is steps.
Step 1
The very first thing you need to do is update your Joomla 1.5 website to the latest security update (1.5.25 at the time of writing). Click here for the tutorial on how to update your site.
Step 2
create a backup of your website.
Step 3
We are going to use jUpgrade to migrate our website. You can download jUpgrade from above link.
Step 4
Once you have downloaded jUpgrade, install it in existing joomla using the extension manager (Extensions -> Install / Uninstall).
Make sure that you have loggedin with Super Administrator. ( It required super administrator rights to migrate database and media.)
Step 5
You need to enable the System - Mootools Upgrade plugin before you can use jUpgrade so navigate to extensions then plugin manager, do a search for the plugin and enable it. (Extensions -> Plugin Manager)
Step 6
Click on Start Upgrade, It will now upgrading automatically as below till completion Popup.
Now click on administrator, you will see Joomla newer version Login page and make sure that all content transferred successfully ( It will transfer only contents that will supported in new Joomla version)
JUpgrade will create new directory. Download & install Joomla newer version to new directory and transfer media and contents in newer one.
