Installing Joomla 1.5
Set up guide
Minimum System Requirements
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1938/310/
Web & Database Server with PHP installed.
Web hosting company or on your Local Computer
See Local Web Server section for information.
Joomla 1.5.X
Copy of Joomla download a copy at http://www.joomla.org/
A un-zip or un-tar software
- Windows http://www.7-zip.org/
- Apple http://my.smithmicro.com/win/stuffitexpander/index.html
- Web browser
This can be different for a lot of setups.
If you are using our local web server examples for starting locations.
Xampp > See Local Web Server Install
c:xampphtdocs
MAMP > See Local Web Server Install
HD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:
Unzip or untar inside the directory this should make a folder with the Joomla version that's only one level deep.
So if you click inside the Unzip or Untar folder you should see the *.php files and folders etc.
You can rename the folder whatever you like but it needs to be inside htdocs folder for Local example.
You can also put your files in sub folders of the "htdocs" dir an example: c:xampphtdocsclientsnameOfClientjver153
You can then access via the browser with Xammp default configuration http://localhost/clients/nameofclient/jver153/
There you would see the site wizard to install Joomla at first.
It does not matter the system you use as long as it makes sense to you.
Try not to use spaces or special characters to your folders names because web browsers convert spaces to "%20%20" in the URL etc.
On a remote server with your web hosting company.
Cpanel:
Location would be "/home/yourusername/public_html/" the key here is "/public_html/" if Joomla is going to the main website then unzip or untar Joomla file inside "public_html/".
When you open user browser to your http://yourDomainname.com the Joomla installer would show up.
If not then you could just make a folder with the name of the section
example: http://yourDomainname.com/MyJoomla
Plesk:
Location would be "/home/httpd/vhosts/YourDomain.com/httpdocs/" the key here is "/httpdocs/" if Joomla is going to the main website then unzip or untar Joomla file inside "httpdocs/".
When you open user browser to your http://yourDomainname.com the Joomla installer would show up.
If not then you could just make a folder with the name of the section
example: http://yourDomainname.com/MyJoomla

I have two people wanting me to help them upgrade to 1.5.x I dont blame them. First of you need to install this file into your 1.0.x site
Go to components and read carefully. If you cant do this then pay me lll do it for you for $100 So you got your SQL file, right? Lets move on
I REALLY recommend you to make a new directory within the old install call it 'upgrade' look at the old sites config, what was your old sites prefix for table names? write it down on a post it note
I also recommend you making a brand new database and backing up your old database so you wont be a retard and lose all your sites content (right sCOTTo, ask him, he loves to delete entire websites 'accidently')
We want a 1.5 thats just been extracted and not installed yet
So we are at the place now on 1.5 that is starts to ask about username, pass, site title and DATABASE information.
Thanks to Dacs this article is unfinished and published.

B-I-N-G-O
Try installing the archive you found in the first archive
