Please add PHP check to the update script. If version==4, then prompt "Please upgrade your PHP"
Otherwise the error message is "Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference in /var/www/html/administrator/components/com_jupgrade/views/cpanel/view.html.php on line 35"

install mootools plugin, switch to a default template[edit]
you might want to add two requirements:
- install the mootools plugin
- switch to a default template first
Without mootools the installation process got stuck (from 1.5.2), using a custom made template, too. --Marek 17:27, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
mootols[edit]
I added the install the mootools plugin section (without screenshots) --Weissollo 22:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I added a section that describes how to manually upgrade joomla. If anyone has anything to add to it, please feel free.
