  • On a 7.2 installation I have upgraded Joomla from 1.0.12 to 1.0.13. The move to Joomla 1.5 is more complex.
  • Joomla.org has a comprehensive howto - great.
Perhaps you can post the link to this howto so we can see if there are some clues there as well.

  • The howto calls for mod_mysql, mod_xml & mod_zlib.
  • If anyone has done this, would you share where you found these 3 files and how you installed them?
Those are apache modules, perhaps they are on the Apache website or is there some clue in the howto on how to get hold of them. Be carefull they are version specific. You can determine your httpd version like so:
Code: [Select]
httpd -v
If you have found them you should place them in /usr/lib/httpd/modules and add a configuration template to load the modules in the /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/. If this directory does not exist create it like this:
Code: [Select]
mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-user-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf/
See for examples on how to load modules the 20LoadModules* files in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd/conf/

I can not find the requirement for those three mods there... am I missing something as there seems to be a custom mod that can do the conversion for you.

Apologies - I referred you to the data-migration help.
I meant to point you here:
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1938/302/
This link shows the minimum requirements to install Joomla 1.5. As you will see, it asks for 3 specific apache mods (which I have been unable to track down so far).

since SME is based on CentOS,

i would think that these modules will be available as standard packages on the repositories.
but i would be interested in how to configure them in SME when these are required.
