Extensions and template upgrades are not installed - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i have updated live joomla site 2.5.1 2.5.7.
after doing have encountered lot of trouble.


after update tried update template new version using joomla installer. nothing seemed happen. meaning pressed install , after little processing displayed same window when first started install. no message displayed. did little "jump" if finished.

i thought had template, figure i'll wait template update , started installing extentions instead. managed install couple , same stuff happened again. after went wrong, , see white backend , white frontend. had full restore (thankfull had done fresh backup after upgrade 2.5.7!).

after restore (back newly upgraded 2.5.7), first thing did check database @ extensions, install, database. told not date ran fix on , updated it. had warnings mentioned fixed creating php.ini file enter temp directory , upload , post max file size set 20m.

then updated joomla 2.5.8 in case there bug joomla 2.5.7. regarding issue. started installing extensions again. unfortunately ran same situation.

i start getting messages this:

i have been @ day trying figure out. dont have single clue anymore....

maybe clear of you, hope :-)
would appreciate suggestion/tip might have.

thanks

i don't think you're telling whole story or wouldn't have jos_ in db. must have migrated 1.5 @ point right? why didn't take backup of 2.5.1 site? wasn't working fine? why not restore it, 2.5.1 version, , work there?
