Joomla 1.5 RC2 from Joomla 1.5 RC1 Upgrade

How to upgrade from 1.5 RC1 to 1.5 RC2

1. Download RC2 from the link .

I downloaded the zip version.

2. Copy the contents to your Joomla folder overwriting earlier versions.

The extracted files took 10.3 megabytes of space on my hard drive.

3. Upload the joomla folder to the server via FTP.

I use Dreamweaver's FTP function to manage my sites, but any program that can upload a folder or directory is fine.

Since this takes a long time. It is good to prepare supper or watch a movie or something so you don't stare at the clock.

4. Log in to your Joomla 1.5 RC2 site and click on the administration menu item then system info under the help menu to verify the version.

It will say

'Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.0 Production/Stable [ Endeleo ] 1-September-2007 15:00 GMT' (Obviously with a different date and time)
