Sorry for by bad english, by finding nothing i mean no video tutorial or written tutorials as easy i want.

The only tutorial i found is http://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/installation-migration-upgrade/198-upgrade-virtuemart-2-to-virtuemart-3.html

but i did not find easy to understand, i am looking for somethign like this tutorial which is step by step

https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/joomla-multi-lingual/

You can see every step is listed with picture step by step.


So can any body list steps of Migration from VM2 TO vm3? For example

1- Download VM3 from Virtumart site
2- Unzip it
3- Install com_virtuemart.3.0.4.tar on the same site which already have VM2 install using extension mangaer
similary install com_virtuemart.3.0.4_ext_aio.tar

So i want somethign like that , so any help now hope now its clear what i want

It's not at all complicated

check you have all the VM extensions you need

make a clone of your site or at least a reliable tested backup

install VM3 and the AIO from the d/l zip

check site

install VM3 extensions

check site

Upgrade J2.5. to J3.3.6 -> this is normally the difficult one

QuoteSo how to Upgrade J2.5. to J3.3.6

this is a joomla question - not for this forum -- VM has no effect on this process

this has useful advice  http://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/1158/upgrade-from-2-5-to-3-x-overview

white screens - plenty of advise on here
