Default Re: Upgrading from Joomla 1.5.13 to 1.5.14 Patch

You need to double-check the default installation vs. the patch files/folders for the media module. Something has interrupted the association between the files themselves which in turn makes it impossible to establish a functional path .....

Again, it is somewhat unclear when you say "fresh install" whether you are referring to a Fantastico install or a manual one. If in fact you have a new Fantastico installation and it is not important to preserve tons of Content, I would uninstall it via Fantastico and re-install it -- after verifying that the template you have selected is properly written for the version Fantastico installs (it's OK to have a v.1.5 and a template written for 1.0, but not cool for a 1.5 template installed on a 1.0 script).

If you prefer to recover by uninstalling via Fantastico and then manually installing the current STABLE version of Joomla, you will not need to upgrade anything, nor have to deal with a scrambled installation that may occur during a patch job.

If you do have a lot of content you wish to "save" then you will need to create a DB backup, bring it down to your local HD, and uninstall and then manually re-install with a current stable script, following the instructions to the letter on how to move your DB backup onto a fresh installation.

If this is all too much for you, there are tons of Joomla pros available thru the Joomla Community, as well as thru myself. You just need to reach out and inquire.
