I've been running 1.5.20 for about a year with no problems :) . I'd like to upgrade to 1.5.26. Which package (file name) do I need?? Will I run into any problems ?? or should I stay with 1.5.20??


Thanx

Use the 1.5.0 to 1.5.26 upgrade. It covers all upgrades. Always backup all files and database BEFORE you do an upgrade just in case you have problems.

This upgrade has to be downloaded to your computer and then uploaded to the root of joomla installation and then extracted. If you have cpanel, you can use the file manager to do this. You cannot install it with extension manager.

If you would like to upgrade from the admin backend of Joomla you can use the Admin Tools extension. Before making any changes though you should backup your site, the Akeeba Backup extension is good for that.

Thanx dpacadmin. I forgot about tools. I've been using it for a couple of years.

I use it and it works great.


Thanx Again...
