Okay to over-write joomla with rocketlauncher?

    • Hey folks,

      I've already installed 1.5.3 and uploaded an RT template, but decided I'd prefer to start with the demo content as a baseline. I've seen the tutorial on rocket launcher (suggesting local extract and upload all files via ftp), but wondering if I can just upload the zip file to my root directory (via control panel/file manager) and extract (overwrite) files there, and then run the RocketLauncher installation. Will this work?

      Thanks in advance!

    • No.

      More trouble that it's worth.

      The best thing to do is leave your install where it is. Install the rocket launcher into a subdomain, or local, or another directory, and just use it as a guide.

      You want to build everything on your site so you know what it is and how it got there. It will be better in the long run. If there's a problem with something, you'll know right where to go because you built it. Using the RL as a guide, it won't take long at all.

    • Thanks Mack... while I was waiting for a reply I kept playing around with my original install and I'm tempted to agree with you... too much ground to cover. But a veritable hats-off to the RT crew that developed the template. Good stuff.
