First steps
Start the VM and open a VNC console and install the latest security updates.
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
Now, connect to the Joomla! web installer http://youripaddress and follow the instructions.
After finishing, you need to remove the installation directory. Open a VNC or SSH console:
rm -rf /var/www/joomla/installation/
Upgrading to v1.5.xx
After having successfully set up Joomla v1.5.15 from the template here, you can upgrade the installation to the latest v1.5.xx.
How to see the Joomla Version: Login to as an admin on the admin console (for example at http://www.example.com/administrator) and you will see the Joomla version number on the right hand top corner in the logged in page.
Log in to the Virtual Machine console and issue the following commands (adapt the version based on your environment)
cd /var/www/joomla wget http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/11395/45654/Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz tar -xvf Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz rm Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz cd .. chown -R www-data:www-data joomla
Now login to the administrator page on a browser and you will see that the version shows 1.5.15. Viola! You're done!
When you enter the tar -xvf ... command, sometimes you may get an error like:
tar -xvf Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
This is easily sorted out by extracting the tar file first and then decompressing it like:
gzip -d Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar.gz tar -xf Joomla_1.5.9_to_1.5.15-Stable-Patch_Package.tar
Kindly refer the Post Release FAQs link at the end of this page for any issues and fixes that may have surfaced since this release.
If you are bothered by file permissions that you may have set manually after the v1.5.9 to be retained, then prepare the Joomla upgrade files in a separate folder with the owner set as www-data and then copy them over into the joomla folder fully.
