Upgrading Joomla from 1.6 to 2.5 To Do List 升級步驟

身為一個非軟體工程師,即使不懂得如何用terminal寫command,也可以學會如何用Google來學習!

前陣子升級Joomla 1.6 to 2.5的過程,整理出來一個To Do List (with my note)和大家分享:

    • I used “Method B” since for some reason the update function within Joomla admin didsn’t work on that specific server. I couldn’t upload via Extension Manager either. So I had to FTP the package and install from the URL.
  3. DO NOT FORGET TO DO: Database Upgrade
    • To avoid such issues: template problem, user database problem, etc.
    • How to: Extention Manager > Database > Fix
