I attempted to upgrade joomla from 2.5.x versions to 3 versions but got various errors like as the one i posted here before here.
So i am trying another way by moving database tables from 2.5.11 to 3.2.3 version database.So for this i installed a new 3.2.3 site with required extensions like k2, CB...
i have been able to move joomla 2.5.11 site's database tables like users, modules, menus and other extension tables to joomla 3.2.3 site so is in this new site i am getting all users and menus and modules and extension's data.
But what about the "assets" and "extensions" tables, to do a complete
upgrade by database, should i move these two tables for
compatibilities with other things in new site? or i am done leaving
these tables well?.
Fyi, in my 2.5.11 site i don't need content articles as i am using k2.Furthermore, what other required tables' data i must move to new site for a complete migration using database tables?
If you install a clean 3.2.3, then install all of the extensions you need, then the assets and extensions tables do not need to be touched. You only need to move the tables that include content from the old site.

I have WordPress installed locally on XAMPP and I decided to create a new folder and perform WordPress installation all over again in that folder.
Note that I already have another WordPress installation for a different website. The problem is I keep getting errors when I want to install a plugin or a theme on the new website. I assume it is because I have another WordPress installation on the same XAMPP installation. Are my assumptions correct?
Also, note that the two websites have a different database.
I have one blogging website created in wordress old version, (Where for every users blog and post wordpress use to create new database and table), but in latest wordpress, I found for all users information is stored in single database.
I have recreated my website with latest wordpress version. Now just wanted to migrate data (Inclused users and users posts) from existing website OLD to the NEW website.
Any help and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
I guess the way with least trouble would be to get all main releases between the old version and a current version. Then install them in a local system and upgrade the version plus data one version at a time.
Sounds tedious though.
My site was messed up by a novice developer and I had no option then to delete the old files, and install a fresh copy of magento 1.7.0.2 . My old Magento version was 1.6.
I want to use the old database as I got all of my product listing on it and everything is on that database. I find no way of getting those table (and in fact they are so many in number that its almost impossible to remember their names) in to my new installation..
I tried point my magento installation to old database by editing local.xml but was un-successfull as magento was throwing errors again and again..error was
table already exists and some description
and to me, these errors make sense
can somebody guide me how I can point my old database to magento without errors or how I can load my old data in to new magento installation..
I fear that simply importing sql database might not work
thanks
You can also try to use a copy of the old database and install a new magento store over the existing database. That's what I've done so far and I could continue using the existing products. Be sure, that the database isn't corrupt.
Download the latest version of magento and start the setup routine. When Magento asks for the access data of your database, use the acess data of the "old" database. Magento will automatically upgrade your Database to Magento 1.7.
After that you have to install your theme and all the extensions you used in the old shop. Be sure, they are working on magento 1.7. And you have to copy the media folder, to use all images of products and categories.

I would try importing the old database first. It will get everything as long as it completes successfully. This page has detailed instructions: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/moving_magento_to_another_server
If the db import fails, Magento often makes changes (even if minor) the structure of its database between versions. Your best bet is to install the exact same version of Magento (1.6.something) then, point it to your old database by editing app/etc/local.xml. You should clear your cache so Magento loads the new version of the local.xml - Admin->system->cache manager->allcache->refresh
Then you can update to the latest version.
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
I have made an extension which, when installed, creates new tables and modify's few existing tables of magento.
how to roll back these database changes in magento database when my magento extension is uninstalled from Magento Connect Manager?
I think you will have to do that manually. Normally you can see all the changes that have been made in your database in the SQL folder of your plugin:
app\code\local\Company\Module_name\sql\module_name_setup
