I want to upgrade my joomla 1.5.22 website to latest version of joomla(3.3.6). Please suggest best way's to do this(suggest any free extensions).
Thanks in advance.
Firstly, you should alsy migrate from the latest version of your built, so step 1 is updating to Joomla 1.5.26. You can download the update package from here. Once downloaded, upload the package to the root of your Joomla installation via FTP and extract.
Step 2 is migrating for Joomla 2.5. For this, you can use an extension called JUpgrade. Simply download, install it on your Joomla site and run the migration. Everything will be done automatically for you.
Step 3 is now extremely easy. From now on, you can upgrade to a newer Joomla version using the 1 click update feature built into the Joomla backend. Simply go to:
Components (top menu) >> Joomla! Update.
You may need to click on the Options button and select "Short Term Support" to upgrade from Joomla 2.5.x to Joomla 3.x.
Now that you are running Joomla 3.x, please ensure that you are always up to date. If you see an update notification in the backend, do not update it straight away. Give it 1 or 2 days before updating as the Joomla PLT have been known to make mistake in some updates which break certain features.
Hope this helps

Updating joomla 1.7 to 2.5.X but when I try to find the updated version via backend admin panel. I don't see any updates found.
I have checked a number of websites and most of them update joomla via backend extension manager using find updates and install feature but I do not see any update
First of all I would suggest you to update to Joomla 3 since Joomla! 2.5 has reached the End of Support.
However, check this out. It's a step by step on how to update to joomla 2.5. I am sure there hundreds of tutorials available if you google it. :)
Of course, before doing anything, BACKUP your installation!
I'm new to CMS Joomla. For a school project, me and my 'team' have to upgrade an already existing website to the newest Joomla version, which is 3.4.8. We have already managed to upgrade the Joomla version itself to 3.4.8, but the problem we came across now is the template the website is using (2.5 template). Our teacher said we cannot change the template, so we will need to upgrade it. We have been looking for an answer, but we are not able to find one. Can you help us?
Thanks in advance.

I am new in CodeIngniter. And I dont want to download the latest version from http://ellislab.com/codeigniter
I want to work with older version of codeIgniter and I think that are not available on http://ellislab.com/codeigniter
http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/installation/downloads.html If we click on any link on above page, it always redirect to http://ellislab.com/codeigniter
Can anybody tell me , from where can download older version.
Thanks
You should be able to fork it via github. if you couldn't find it, it is located on the release tab.
Here's the download list of all versions <= 2.2.0
https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/installation/downloads.html
Links to old versions of CodeIgniter are listed on two web pages.
PAGE 1: For CodeIgniter 2.x, use this link. Please be advised that page contains a note that can be confusing. On that page, Version 2.2.6 is marked "Current version." Version 2.2.6 is the last version of the 2.x series and it has reached the end of life. If you are looking for the most recent stable release of CodeIgniter, which is also marked Current Version, look on the download page for CodeIgniter 3.x
PAGE 2: For CodeIgniter 3.x, use this link.
When installing custom component on a Joomla 2.5 everything works well. If I just copy and paste the content of the component in the appropriate folder /components/com_mycomponent without installing it the directory structure becomes the same but the component doesn't get found when requested.
I assume that installation is needed for a component to work. My question is how can I simulate this installation without actually installing the component. So how can I tell Joomla that there is a component copied in the components directory.
I need that to be able to create test components and develop them without actually installing them on the platform until they are ready.
Thanks in advance.
Select Extensions → Extension Manager from the drop-down menu of the Joomla! Administrator Panel. Then select the Discover menu item in the Extension manager screen that appears.
As it says in the Joomla docs manual: Discover searches the Joomla! installation directories for uninstalled extensions. Any uninstalled extensions found will be displayed in the extension listing. Caches the search results so they continue to be displayed on subsequent visits to this screen."
Here is the link to the actual manual page.
Hope this helps.

I have tried this for my projects
First, login to your Admin panel
Go to Extend Tab, then click on Extension Manager
You will find Discover tab and the component you have copied in the list. just click on Install button at the top and it will work as you have install any component.
I performed a migration of my site in Joomla which was in version 1.5.22 to version 2.5 using jUpgrade. After the migration when I opened the url "mysite.com/jupgrade" to see how my new site will look, I am getting the error:
#404 Component not found
I checked into the jupgrade/components/ folder and noticed a number of components missing. The tables corresponding to the components are also missing. Do I need to migrate these components manually or some alternative solution is available?
Some components will need to be done manually as a lot of them have 2 separate versions for 1.5 and 2.5. Simply install the Joomla 2.5 version of the extensions that aren't working and this should solve your problem
