Joomla, notices after installation - joomla

I am having some issues after installing joomla, what should be done to remove this? I have attached the image of what I am getting.

I believe you're running PHP 5.4. Joomla 2.5 isn't yet completely compatible with that version yet. There are patches in the tracker right now to fix these issues, hopefully they'll be in 2.5.7.

joomla! upgrade from 1.5.26 to 2.5 jUpdate error and more

Migration or upgrade, whatever, I want to get rid of my 1.5 site. I read some articles, watched a few tutorials however I could not beat it.
First, I upgraded my 1.5.2 to latest 1.5.26. Then I installed jUpgrade 2.5.2 extension from admin panel, activated it but after clicking to upgrade: nothing happened. The big arrow is not clickable.
Then I downloaded redMigration. There were two distinct .zip files in it. "plg_redMIGRATOR_1.0.0_j15" and "com_redMIGRATOR_1.0.0_j25_j3". Former was installed as an extension and activated (also I did password operations) but there is nothing. No way to run it. When I tried to install "com_redMIGRATOR_1.0.0_j25_j3" from extensions, it says there is no XML file to install. So I am stucked! I've been trying it hard but I have nothing.
How can I fix these problems?
The not click-able issue is most likely down to the javascript not working.
When I've seen this before, it has been just that JUpgrade needs a newer version of Mootools.
Have you enabled the Mootools Upgrade Plugin?

Will upgrading PHP break JOOMLA?

I have a client who has JOOMLA! V1.5.1, and it currently is running on PHP 4.4.9. Does anyone know if upgrading to PHP5 break my site? Will upgrading to a newer JOOMLA! version break my site?
Thanks a lot
There might be a few functions on Joomla 1.5.1 that won't work if you upgrade to PHP 5.3+. Therefore you should also upgrade Joomla to 1.5.26 to ensure maximum security and stability for that particular version. Once both PHP and Joomla have been upgraded, everything will work smoothly.
To upgrade your PHP version, you will need to talk to your host, and why he is still running his servers on PHP 4.49 I do not know.
To update Joomla to the latest version, I would recommend download this package:
Joomla 1.5.0 to 1.5.26
I know its not the update for 1.5.1, but it will still work.
As for upgrading to Joomla 2.5, this doesnt have to be done. It is entirely up to you. Just be sure that all your etension will be compatible.
Hope this helps.
Nothing must change if you just upgrade PHP. Is there custom PHP build used or installed from packes (like .rpm or .deb)?
If you have simple wibsite and will follow guidelines on upgrading Joomla ( listed here: http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_Joomla_1.5_to_Joomla_2.5 ) then process must go smoothly.
But if there are any extensions which do not have their Joomla 2.5 versions, you'll get in trouble because old ones wimply won't work after upgrade.
Use akeeba backup to backup your site before upgrade and try to backup/restore at separate place to just have a proctice. I confgure it to use zip format because it does not require any extra software to restore site, but that's up to you.

Magento search form not working

Using the seach form in the shop outputs the "Whoops, our bad..." page.
I've seen similar questions but rebuilding the index is not solving the problem.
The search form sends to http://...//catalogsearch/result/?q=... and fails. But if I use the advanced search url http://...//catalogsearch/advanced/result/?name=... it works fine.
Any idea of what can be causing this behaviuor. The shop has recently been upgraded from magento 1.5.X to 1.6.0 and then to 1.6.1
thanks
Something similar happened to me and the problem was that the upgrade wasn't completed.
Make sure you've no dependencies problems or conflicts when upgrading.
If you get errors with dependencies, try uninstalling non core modules and then try to install magento latest again. Make sure the errors disappear.
Once the upgrade is correct you can re-install uninstalled modules, if they work in the latest magento version.
Just in case. Reindex from terminal. I had the same problem. Reindexing from the backoffice wouldn't work, but after reindexing from terminal, everything went back to normal.
php /path/to/magento/shell/indexer.php reindexall

joomla: jomsocial installation problem (winxp)

i'm trying to install the jomsocial plugin on my local joomla.
joomla (v1.6) was freshly installed from scratch - i'm having the latest version of jomsocial (v2.20)
i've followed the jomsocial installation instructions but it didn't work,
during the installation process i got the same error over + over again:
Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in ...
any ideas what could be wrong?
thanks
It would be helpful if you posted the complete error, but it looks like you need to change your php.ini error reporting log level.

Paging doesn't work in the Joomla Article Manager in the admin section

I inherited a Joomla site that is having a problem with the article manager in the admin section. The pagination doesn't work! If I click the page number, forward, back, or page size, nothing happens! So I found out that someone had previously installed the iJoomla SEO plugin, but it never worked so they removed it. I think it is incompatible with the version I have.
I setup a local environment with almost the same setup (I have 5.2.11 vs the servers 5.2.13) with Wamp Server, and I found that some of the session variables are missing! When dumped via print_r(), the $_SESSION variable is missing the "com_content", "global", and "com_plugins" arrays! So I guess that is the reason that paging doesn't work, because the "com_content" array looks like it has paging info in it. (maybe I'm wrong)
So I'm running Version 1.5.13
on PHP Version 5.2.13
Anyone know why this would happen? Thanks in advance!
One suggestion I have which might fix a broken install of Joomla would be to upgrade to the latest version. This is good practice anyway and might help. The latest version of Joomla is 1.5.15.
