I'm fairly new to the club, and to Joomla. I'm not a web designer or adminsitrator, just a small business owner with no money to pay a web designer... so sorry if these are noob questions.
I have a basic site installed with my host, a Joomla 1.somethng install. I've since joined the club, downloaded mediamogul 1.5 and I want to make that my site. I've been playing around and tweaking things on the template and I've got most of it how I want it, now it's just a case of loading it up over my existing site and plugging content in. But how best to do that?
I read somewhere it's best to FTP the files up, rather than using a fantastico one-click-install for Joomla 1.5 so that all the RT modules get loaded, so is that the best option? Or, should I delete all the files that are there now and copy the new ones in their place, or just overwrite any existing files? is there a tutorial somewhere that will help me to do this? Any suggestions?
Oh, AND another question... is there any way to use the Joomla "Site Down for Maintenance" message from the Admin config page in place during the upgrade?
