Footnotes- PHP 5.3.1 is required for versions 3.0 through 3.2. At 3.3, the minimum is raised to PHP 5.3.10.[/p]
- In order to use SEO URLs, you will need to have the Apache mod_rewrite extension installed.[/p]
- Do not use PHP 4.3.9, 4.4.2 or 5.0.4. These releases have known bugs that will interfere with installation. Zend Optimizer 2.5.10 for PHP 4.4 also has serious bugs and you should ask your host to upgrade to a newer version. Joomla! versions 1.5.15 and later are compatible with PHP 5.3. Note that the OpenID library is not compatible with PHP 5.3.
- Support for Microsoft SQL Server was added for the 2.5 release; 1.6 and 1.7 do not have this support.

RokSprocket Load More Issue
Ran into this same problem and worked out a solution if anyone needs it:
add the code below to line 281 of plugings\content\addthis\addthis.php:
if (JRequest::getVar('format') != 'raw')
Here's the story:
Clicking the "LOAD MORE" button in the Roksprocket module causes an AJAX call to get additional information. That call requests content in the RAW format. The code in the addthis module assumes content is being requested in the XHTML format and makes a call to the JDocument->addCustomTag method. That method does not exist for a RAW JDocument instance which triggers the HTTP 500 error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDocumentRaw::addCustomTag() in /home/psalmon3/public_html/the613commandments_testb/plugins/content/addthis/addthis.php on line 282
Adding that line of code to the addthis module tells it to perform the addCustomTag step only if the format is not 'raw'.

To help you migrate from Joomla 2.5.x to Joomla 3.x.x, here is Joomla's guide ->
https://docs.joomla.org/Joomla_2.5_to_3.x_Step_by_Step_Migration
This is my personal protocol to upgrade from Joomla 2.5.x to Joomla 3.x.x:
- Backup your site with a free copy of
Akeeba backup
- You must meet these System Requirements for J3.3.x:
- Apache 2.2+ or Microsoft IIS 7
- PHP 5.3.10+ (PHP 5.4+ Recommended)
- MySQL 5.1+
- Joomla 3.3+
- Apache 2.2+ or Microsoft IIS 7
- Backup your site with a free copy of
Akeeba backup
- Verify that all Rockettheme products are the latest versions (Gantry, Rockettheme extensions and Template).
Update any that aren't and clear your server cache and browser cache. As for the Rockettheme template you are using in the upgrade, make sure it's compatible with Joomla 3.3.x Joomla Templates Compatibility Matrix . You can check all current version numbers at Admin -> Extend or Extensions -> Extension Manager -> Manage.
- You can install a template, component, extension or plugin using Joomla's Upload Package File dialogue.
You are not authorised to see this attachment.
- Uninstall RokGZipper TOTALLY - this is not used anymore
- Uninstall RokAjaxSearch, RokBox, RokCandy, *RokFeatureTable*, RokNavMenu and RokPad
- This is optional but I would also uninstall RokStories and RokTabs as they're legacy extensions. They both can be replaced with RokSprocket modules.
- Verify all your 3rd-party extensions are up to date and that they are compatible with J3.3.x
- Update your Joomla 2.5 instance to the latest maintenance release (currently 2.5.28).
- Make sure you have the latest database schema updated to latests version 2.5.28 by going to: Extension Manager → Database tab. If your schema is not up to date like in the following image, click the Fix button.

- Uninstall any Packages that are no longer needed or will not be migrating to Joomla 3.

- Using PhPMyAdmin console check that your Assets table is correct. See Fixing the assets table
- Backup your site again.
- Go to Components → Joomla Update. (It should say no updates found.)
- Click on the Options button at the top right corner. Select "Short Term Support" from the drop-down for Update server
- Click Save & Close.
- You will then see your Installed Joomla Version, the Latest Joomla! version and the URL for the update package.
- Click "Install the Update".
- Go to Extensions → Extension Manager → Database and click Fix if needed.
- From the Extension Manager go to Discover and see if there are any extensions to install
- If you uninstalled any of RokAjaxSearch, RokBox, RokCandy, *RokFeatureTable*, RokNavMenu and RokPad, tehn re-install them with the latest versions.
- Enable Remember Me from the Plugin Manager.
- Clear all back end and front browser caches.
- TEST EVERYTHING to make sure all the parts work.
- Backup your site again.
- Go to Content → Article Manager → Options button → Editing Layout tab and set the Enable Versions to Yes.
- Install your any new template or other extensions if you have them to install. Back up often.

Do this Admin -> Site or System -> Global Configuration -> Server -> Error Reporting -> set to MAXIMUM to check for more detailed error messages.
Ensure you meet the requirements for Gantry 5 see http://docs.gantry.org/gantry5/basics/system-requirements
Check your Admin -> Site or System -> System Information -> PHP Information -> Core -> memory_limit. It should be a minimum of 128MB or preferably higher.
For WampServer issues see " ThreadStackSize on WindowsAnchor link for: threadstacksize on windows "
