Thought I’d pass along the news… Joomla 1.5.7 released. Updating is recommended.

Upgrade from 1.5.x

Full Package

Thanks,

And I thought I would share my experience with everyone. Loaded 1.5.7 and it crashed my site.

Be careful. Proceed with caution.

That’s why we always follow rule number 1: ENSURE YOU HAVE FULL BACKUPS BEFORE ANY UPGRADE

With that said, I upgraded fine no problems.

I had a full backup too, thank God. But it did not work and hosting company, me and several others on Joomla.org are trying to figure out what the issue is. Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated…

1. Are you on php5? that seems to be a common issue right now for some…

Well the site is back up on 1.5.6 after most of the day. So did you unzip the upgrade package to a folder on your system then FTP the files up to it up to public_html?

Will give it a shot again tomorrow. To late in the day to have the headaches again. We’re practically neighbors so if you ever want to chat about Joomla ideas or such, let me know.

ok, i just tried to do it again and it bombed once more. so let me ask you a very basic question:

did you upgrade from 1.5? if so, did you use the .zip update or .tar.gz file? I was just on with HostGator again after this latest attempt and there doesn’t seem to be a config.php file being uploaded. when I look at the .tar.gz file, there is no config.php file in the package

and I am on php5

UGGGGHHHH!

Hi
People often use zip file package, that is popular format
if taz.gx miss some files, you can unzip zip file, then compress it to taz.gz format as you want

Hey Menalto

The blank congif.php file is a bug in Joomla, happened to me yesterday (and lost my site for 4 hours until I figured out what had happened). Every time I click on ‘save’ in the back end Global Configs, it wipes my entire config.php file to blank!

I read something on the Joomla forum yesterday about a workround by renaming the file, which I did!

Cheers
Chris
