Joomla! Discussion Forums

This was my first upgrade and I will admit to being a very new user. I followed all the instructions -
Up loaded the file into my /home/directory - extracted all the files -
I received no error messages but my site still shows as 1.5.14

I tried first with the zip file - but then read that some c-Panels might only overwrite if you used the tar.gz - so to be on the safe side I did that as well. But, still no change.

What could I have missed? Could it be a permissions issue?

Did you say that you use a c-Panel to upgrade? Please not that not all such applications overwrite existing file. Use an FTP client to upload the extracted files from your PC.

Hello,

Please refer this link and download the patch file and extract the zip file from the root folder. it is working fine.

I can tell you that Update Manager for Joomla saves a lot of time and headaches http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... llers/9332

Thanks for your answers so far.
I'm getting closer.
I download the zip file.
I extracted the zip files to another folder.
I uploaded the folder (with filezilla) to public_html

Still nothing changes. I know the problem is not with Joomla but what is wrong with my process?

Never mind. That didn't work either.

I do see a lot of messages like this in filezilla
550 Can't change directory to /public_html/public_html/Joomla_1.5.14_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package (1)/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/_template: No such file or directory

Could that be the problem?

The upgrade manager did look very promising - until I hit this message -

Download Failed: Local output opening failed: fopen(/home/goodband/public_html/joomla//tmp/jupgrader.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory(43)

Resolved that issue with upgrade manager - but now I see this all the time
Error: MD5 checksum does not match! Delete and redownload file.

If you insist on using the cp to update your site instead of an FTP program like FileZilla (free download) you will need to load each file separately. You cannot just place them in a folder and load the folder as there is no link to that new folder. You need to extract all the files and load each file individually making sure it is overwriting the old file.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Larry,
I did take the previous posters advice and started using Filezilla but I'm still getting the same result :-(
I'm wondering now if it could be related to the firewall that I installed yesterday.
Unfortunately I have a lot of new things coming to me at the same time....

Who are you hosting with?
Have you tried to contact their support concerning this issue. I doubt if your firewall is the problem.
