Joomla! Discussion Forums

My hoasting came with Joomla! 1.0.11 and I am trying to upgrade to 1.5 and I thought it would be as simple as uploading the full install to my Joomla! directory but I keep getting this error message once I have deleted the install folder like it asks:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: jconfig in /content/StartupHostPlus/t/h/(MYWEBPAGEINFO)/web/joomla/includes/framework.php on line 48

I am not sure what this means

Thank for any help.

Edit: I have been able to upgrade to 1.0.15 now but no further.

You don't upgrade from 1.0.x to 1.5.x - you migrate. Please see http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_and_Migrating_FAQs#How_do_I_upgrade_to_Joomla.21_1.5.3F

Thank hon, I found that after posting... but still trying to install this migrator seems like hard work as I can't seem to find the "Migrator entry in the Component menu option" or know where to put the migrator.. sorry for warbling on

Install the migrator like any normal 1.0.x component installation. Then on the backend (administrator) under components you should find a migrator component listed.

Thank got my 1.5 working... still getting used to it. Some things don't seem as intuative as they should be.. when I click edit it brings up a blank form which isn't very good to me tbh.. not sure if i have a buggy copy so im off to do some googling about it

When you migrate from 1.0 to 1.5, will Joomla 1.5 still be able to use all the components from 1.0, or will they have to be rewritten?

Thanks

Try having a read here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_1 ... 1.5_Stable
- may give you a better idea of what happens. You will need 1.5 compatible versions of the components....

If you use Legacy mode on 1.5 I expect some will still work.

Some - but perhaps not all....?!
