This tutorial show you the steps for migrating Joomla 1.0 to 1.5.

If you haven’t viewed the first demonstration, do that before following this one:

This tutorial will show you how to use the migration file with an existing Joomla 1.5 site

WARNING – Do not use the migrator on a Joomla installation that you wish to keep. All existing data will be wiped out and replaced with that from your Joomla 1.0 migration file

Before going into the Joomla admin panel, we need the URL to the latest version of the Migration Assistant component

This can be found at the following URL:http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/pasamioprojects/frs/

1) Go there, then look down the page until you see Migration Assistant

Remember to retain your Joomla 1.0 installation until you’re absolutely sure the 1.5 installation is not missing anything and is working properly
