Anyone know any tricks? I get memory errors doing through the extensions manager, both update and install options. I did the 1.6.3 to 1.6.5 using Firezilla unzipping on my server. The 1.6.5 to 1.7 isn't as simple as unzipping you have to do all the my sql stuff.

- I've been upgrading several sites from various releases of 1.5 and 1.6 to 1.7. The "Purge Cache" button has helped. I've also gone the manual route and added database prefix to the SQL file. It's not that bad especially if you don't have another option. Other errors were caused by issues with server config, those I just fixed. If you can't figure it out you can post the error from your log here and I could take a look.

- The problem is a 500 server error. I am upgrading the server right now It is on Godaddy and the upgrade is the 4GH server should be done today. I will move all my stuff over to Media Temple when I get this resolved. I increased the memory in the php.ini file 100 and 50. I don't know how to get to the database file to do that or I might. I will try the purge cache right away. Thanks!

Just in case you need them the SQL files are here: /administrator/components/com_admin/sql/updates/mysql
Basically you'll be looking for parts like #__modules and #__categories replacing the #__ with your new prefix (e.g. #__modules with jos_modules). Then paste your SQL file into your new database through phpmyadmin (or equivalent). - B
