GReetings verybody.
I want to install VM2 to a Joomla 1.5.x server
Is it better to install first Joomla 2.x?
If i install now VM i can install then Joomla 2.x without problems?
Hello,
Better start with vm migration first to vm2. First full backup your site and do not migrate on a live site. Use akeeba free version for site backup

sorry i wasnt very clear. i dont have any virtuemart vesion installed. i only have joomla 1.5
Should i first go to joomla 2.5 and then install vm? if i install virtuemart now and then use jUpgrade to go to joomla 2.5 i will have any problems?
oh,
Yes, go to Joomla 2.5 and make a clean installation of VM 2.0.14, there is not reason to installed on a previous version if you haven't it already :)
Regards
I cant upgrade joomla 1.5 to 2.5 jUpgrade isn;t working for me.
Can i have two joomla installations on the same server? i just to install joomla on a different directory and with a different database?
Why you just don't install Joomla 2.5 and after install VM 2.0.14 ... i cannot understand what are you trying to accomplish
I have a website created using joomla. now i want to have also an eshop in the same server.
The website has joomla 1.5. im trying to upgrade it to 2.5 but i have problems.
Should i install joomla 2.5 on another folder on my server?
It is possible to have a website and an eshop on the same joomla installation? (for example the site to be on site.com and the eshop to be on site.com/eshop and to be completely seperated)
Hello,
Yes you can have them separate if you wish with two installations
Regards
ok but which approach do you think is the best?
can i have them both on the same joomla installation?(and to have 2 seperated sites) i will not have any conflict problem with the modules that are installed now joomfish, k2, phoca gallery?
My approach will be to have one site only build in joomla 2.5 with vm 2.0.14.
To combine two installations is impossible, only if you have to different web sites.
ok, to have 2 joomla siets in two different folders in the same server? am i going to have any problems with this?
I have 5 different Joomla sites running in separate sub-directories under one domain, each with their own database. If you have enough capacity on the server then just do it!
and any one of the 5 sites appears as www.sitename.com even if it is located in subdomains? if yes how are you doing this and how i can do this without affecting the joomla site in the root folder?
For simple subdirectory use, sitename.co.uk/ and then sitename.co.uk/shop1/, sitename.co.uk/shop2/ etc or setting them as subdomains on the server I can use www.sitename.co.uk shop1.sitename.co.uk site2.sitename.co.uk etc.
Each J! site is individual and nothing to do with the root site, but does use the same domain name.
