HI Guys, Just a quick question. I am about to upgrade my site to Joomla 2,5. I want to change template, fix a few things so I think that it should take me about a week to get it ready to transfer out of the jupgrade folder. In the mean time, if I add any content during that week and creates menu. Will they be there when I will transfer from jupgrade to the main root?

Hi marchy,

No, they wouldn't be there. The only things that would be there would be those that come from when you initially click the upgrade button.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi
On reading the above my understanding is that:
You have a 1.5 site
You have used jupgrade and now have a 2.5 site in the folder Jupgrade.
You want to change the template and make adjustments to the site.
When happy to want to transfer the site to the root directory.
If the above is correct then changes you make to the 2.5 site will transfer to the main directory.
Regards
Mark

Sorry, just to clarify, so that no one misunderstands my response...My understanding is that:
You have a 1.5 site
You have used jupgrade and now have a 2.5 site in the folder Jupgrade.
You might change something in the 1.5 site in the future
If the above is correct, then changes you make to the 1.5 site will not appear in the jupgrade site.

Hopefully Mark and my scenarios cover cover both possibilities of what you're asking, marchy.

Kind regards,
Nick

Yes it was to know if I make changes on the 1.5 ( content, menu) after the folder jupgrade folder was created if they would be there ( changes) when I finalize the migration to the root.

Hi
Nick understood you the first time - I have inadvertently confused the situation - sorry.
Any changes made to your 1.5 site will not be reflected in the 2.5 site. The two sites are independent of each other. So make the changes to your new 2.5 site before moving it to the root directory.
Regards
Mark

A quick, I am running the jupgrade and it's been about 3 hours that it is at the step "upgrading progress". Should it be that long?

Hi marchy,

No, it shouldn't. It should take at most about 10-15 minutes. What's the exact step that it's stuck on. Please copy and paste.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi marchy,

To be honest, your best bet would be to use SP Upgrade instead. It's relatively bug-free and hassle-free. You can see our tutorial on it here:
www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/sp-upgrad...-15-to-17-migration/

As to the error, if you do want to trouble shoot it, give the following suggestions a try:
"Migrating undefined" or "[undefined][undefined]"
There may come an instance where the process will get stuck while migrating data for a specific component and (with "Debug mode" enabled) an error similar to "Migrating undefined" or "[undefined][undefined]" will be displayed.
Some causes and remedies include:
1) a migrate_xxx.php file that is being requested for by jUpgrade is not available or accessible
(these files are stored in the {root}/administrator/components/com_jupgrade/includes/ folder, labelled "migrate_xxx.php" where "xxx" is the section of content being transferred at the time.)
To fix: uninstall and reinstall jUpgrade (to restore all required files) and try again.

2) the database table from which content is being transferred is corrupt or has been modified
(jUpgrade requires that no modifications have been made to any of the core tables themselves, otherwise the migration can run into problems when dealing with custom fields)
To fix:download and install a maintenance component such as "Admin Tools!" and run a database integrity check and repair. Alternatively the database may have to be repaired manually using "phpmyadmin" or a similar interface. A solution for databases with custom fields is being looked into, but for the moment those must be migrated manually, or if they interfere with the migration, removed. (Of course a backup should be run before any such operation.)

3) the migration runs into an issue attempting to copy content over to a database which already has content (from a previous migration, failed or not).
To fix: remove all the tables created for the new Joomla! install during the migration and run jUpgrade again.

4) the Javascript which handles the migration process has run into a problem
To fix:check in the Plugin Manager to ensure that any system plugins related to javascript libraries, apart from the "MooTools Upgrade" plugin (which is required) has been disabled and try running jUpgrade again.

I hope this helps!

Thx I will try a few fix and it if it does not work. I will go with SP Upgrade.

SP Upgrade seems a little more complex than jupgrade right?

Hi marchy,

You're welcome!

Maybe it's a little more complex, but it's not too complex :)

Nick
