Since thursday nyt, I got stucked on upgrading my joomla website 1.5.26 to 2.5 in the very first step which is cleanining and caching. I already disabled rest of the plugins except mootools plugins. I also reinstalled the latest mootools plugin for joomla and ; is also removed from the php_curl in my php.ini file. Any ideas about how to fix it?
Go to Extensions > jUpgrade.
Click Parameters.
Select Yes for the Skip Download option.
Select Yes for the Skip Decompress option.
Select No for the Delete previous migrationoption
- Click Save.
Create a folder in your Joomla root called jupgrade.
Download Joomla 2.5.4 and extract it in the jupgrade folder.

If you have already run jUpgrade and it failed, clear your browser
cache now. Click Start Upgrade.
If you still have problems with jUpgrade, see the following forum
post on jUpgrade; it addresses this issue.
Once you have successfully upgraded Joomla 1.5 to 2.5.4, you can
upgrade Joomla 2.5.4 to 2.5.6, but I would wait until Joomla comes
out with another release. Joomla 2.5.6 is still full of bugs and
inconsistencies.
How can I start developing a component for the Joomla 1.5 framework? Does anyone know of a good tutorial, or has a good reference?
I have read the tutorial on the wiki and I didn't understand it well, so if you could point me to another one, that would be great.
I know that ideally I should work with Joomla 2.5 or 3.0 but I am being asked to develop this for an existing website, I can't decide which version to work on.
I think the official tutorials in Joomla! Documentation really do cut it. Give it a try - http://docs.joomla.org/Component_Development
I can't decide which version to work on
I personally would use Joomla 2.5 as it's the long term lease of the Joomla series and has much more documentation and support. Joomla 3.0 is the short term release, therefore is a beta version of 3.5 so to speak.
Seeing as you are using Joomla 1.5 at the moment, you could always upgrade to Joomla 2.5 using JUpgrade which is a free extension. Note that this won't upgrade 3rd party extensions, so you will need to install the Joomla 2.5 compatible versions for each one (providing there is one).
To get you started on a Joomla 2.5 component, have a look at the Joomla 2.5 MVC Documentation. This also provides zip files of a HelloWorld component for you to download at various stages.
You might also be interested in a Component Generator.
Hope this helps.
I'm in the process of migrating my Joomla 1.5 web site to Joomla 2.5. I'm using all of the migration tools available, but I have a few, key, extensions, most of which are pretty simple, that are not being upgraded to 2.5. Is there any clear documentation on what must be done to make these extensions compatible with Joomla 2.5?
Yes - on docs.joomla.org you will find "Adapting a Joomla 1.5 extension to Joomla 1.6".
Joomla! 1.6 was the platform change point so even though it's called 1.6 the main architectural changes were in place for what became 2.5
I have a simple question for you guy's. I am learning how to create custom Joomla template from scratch at Lynda.com but its tutorials are for Joomla 1.6. and I would like to know are Joomla 1.6. custom templates compatible with Joomla 2.5.? Thank You!!
Yes they most likely are, as well as the joomla 1.6 extensions are compatible with joomla 2.5.
some joomla extensions
Yes, Joomla 1.6 templates can be used with Joomla 2.5. Provided you change the manifest file accordingly.
I have a web application on joomla 1.0.15 with virtumart 1.0.15 and mojoblog beta v0.16 . There are some changes in virtue mart core file and table structure according to my application requirement. I want to upgrade joomla with virtuemart and mojoblog component. Please guide me tell me a proper way to do this. My application a have a lot user information and order records in database. Need your suggestion.
Thanks
You are not going to be able to easily upgrade your site to 1.5. The biggest problem you face is that Mojoblog is not a 1.5 extension and is no longer supported. At a minimum, you will have to find a replacement for that. How you use it will determine which extensions are suitable replacements, but there is almost certainly an extension that will fit your needs. Blog type extensions are plentiful for Joomla 1.5.
In order to migrate from 1.0 to 1.5 you can follow the official Joomla guide - http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_Stable
