Joomla 1.5 to 1.6
Upgrading a site from Joomla 1.5 to 1.6.
Much of this is taken from : http://docs.joomla.org/Migrating_from_Joomla_1.5_to_Joomla_1.6
- Unser cPanel go in to Fantastico and upgrade your Joomla 1.5 to the latest release... 1.5.23
- Under your cPanel account make a full site backup and down load it.
If things go bad we can restore your site to this backup. - Download the latest from here or here http://wk.ai.net.nz/downloads/com_jupgrade-1.2.0.zip

Issues
Where is php.ini
Needded to edit this so jUpgrade would work, it was timing out. Since I am running cPanel I did this:
php -i | grep php.ini
And got this:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => /usr/local/lib
Loaded Configuration File => /usr/local/lib/php.ini
So I edited /usr/local/lib/php.ini
