Friday, 03 February 2012
  1. BACKUP YOUR INSTALLATION BEFORE ANY FILE CHANGES OR UPDATES 
  2. If your Joomla version is 1.5 skip to step 3, 4 and 5,
    go to Extensions -> Extensions Manager and click on tab link name Update.
    In top right corner find icon name "Find Updates" and click on it.
    If there is an update available it will get listed.
    Select the update by clicking on checkbox next to it and in top right corner click on icon name "Update".
    If update was successful there is no need for any further steps.
    If update was not preformed properly continue to steps below.
  3. Download the upgrade file for your installation. Example : if you version is 1.7.3, you would need 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 upgrade file ( if 1.7.3 is the current version)
  4. Extract the downloaded file 
  5. Using your FTP client , transfer the extracted files to your server overriding the existing files.
  6. If your Joomla! version is 2.5 or higher, after the FTP files transfer go to Extensions -> Extensions Manager and click on tab link name Database.
    Make sure that the Database schema version matches the current Joomla! Version.
    If this is not the case locate the "Fix" icon in top right corner and click on it.
    Your Joomla! admin will preform necessary database  updates to match the current Joomla! Version.
  7. Check your installation.
