running joomla 1.8 and want to update to joomla 3.3. I changed folder permission to 777 but from joomla dashboard still shows modules and components unwrittable. can you please help how to upgrade.
Are you sure you have your versions correct? I've never heard of Joomla 1.8. I think you mean Joomla 1.7, which was the last version before they jumped to 2.5. You should also check your php version before the upgrade. Do you have PHP 5.3.10? If not then version 3.3 will not work and you will need to use version 3.2.4. http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5546-joomla-3-3-0-released.html
