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

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 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
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'm developing a web application in PHP and I need to develop an automatic update component for that software. When I thought about how to develop this, this is what came to my mind:
logic
download latest version as a zip file to the server
unzip
upload and overwrite the files already existing and if there are number of versions available:
assume user is having 1.2 version and he need to update to the 1.5 newest version
system will download all the versions after 1.2 and overwrite files one by one with the files of 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 versions.
This seems a big overload to the server. I really don't have another idea. I hope you all can hep me out. And I also want to know what kind of PHP technologies I can use for this?
