Howto Upgrade Joomla

January 17, 2006 at 12:13 · Tags: , , , , ,

Download the latest Joomla patch version – here I’m going to upgrade Joomla version 1.0.7 to 1.0.13. The latest reeases of Joomla is always avaible at the Joomla development sourceforge system.

Download the latest file to some path in your system, here I have downloaded it into the Joomla directory.

cd site
tar xvjf Joomla_1.0.7_to_1.0.13-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.bz2
chown -R username:groupname *

And you are done – Always remember to do a working backup before upgrade – just in case.

    What if you dont have shell access? Do you just upload the files with FTP and overwrite? If you just overwrite… will it mess up the permissions?

    Hello Raidmax

    To upgrade without shell access you should just upload and overwrite using FTP. I guess that it will not mess up the permissions, otherwise you could just change them again.

    This is very handy. I have just used this way to upgrade my old Joomla installation to Joomla! 1.0.10 (Sundown ) Security Release, and it worked like a charm.

    I have a website which is running on Joomla v1.0.10, I wish to upgrade it to v1.0.5, I have online tutorials of how to do that but I don’t have much experience in installing or upgrading Joomla. Do you think I should do it by myself or employ someone.

    Upgrade from 1.0.10 to 1.0.5!?!??!
    Either you are DOWNgrading, or you have a typo and you mean 1.5.

    ;)

    Hello krubach,

    Well – this post is quite old and it is related to Joomla when it was Joomla 1.0.x.

    But the upgrade command / procedure is the same with today’s Joomla 1.5.x
