Hi everybody,
I have tried to find out if JUpdate actually updates VM 2 when migrating J1.5 to J1.7 or J2.5. I can't find any information on that. It just says "supports VM" on their website.
Has anybody tried to migrate J1.5 with a VM 2 installation? Did it work?
Cheers,
Edward
Hello Edward,
I tried to migrate my site with Jupgrade. Not so successfull as i was expecting. So i did this in the following way:
In phpMyAdmin export all tables from VM 1.1.9 in Joomla 1.5.x. In my Joomla 1.7.4 i imported these tables and then do a migration to vm 2.0. The migration needs only the old tables.

Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated.

Hi Grubosoft,
I assume that I have to rename the tables from jos_vm to j17_vm. Is this correct?
Cheers and thanks for the support,

I am eager to hear a reponse to the prefix issue as well, anyone know?
Is it true that VM 1.19 cannot run on J!2.5?
@ Curt.
I sorted it out by try and error. The database tables stay the same. I could not install VM 1.19 on J2.5 so I assume that it doesn't work. Upgrading J1.7 to 2.5 is easy so I am soon going to post a successful process of migrating from J1.5 and VM 1.1.9 to J1.7 and VM 2.0 in a way that allows you have minimal downtime in your shop. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Edward
