Migrate Section of Main Configuration is greyed out - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hello all,

i attempting migrate 1.x 1.5. having trouble. attempted migrate on actual server , fiasco. if there error in sql script can't re-do install goodbye site. fun. luckily, had used phpmyadmin replaced update or messed data original.

so, trying install locally (os x 10.5) test things out. installed copy of old database, went through install , ran sql error when running migration script again can't run migration script again. when hit 'previous' after error, entire bottom section migration options etc greyed-out. re-installed original data again luck.

how should doing this? running migration tool, downloading it. prefix site low_ entered first time ran migration , failed. second time left blank , again failed. think got error around line 8 of sql. there kind of script other browsing sql backup database? missing here?

thanks!

one possible problem trying reuse dump file. can used once modified during migration. can use copy of dump file , save original make others copies from.

i unclear site installed locally, old 1.0 site or new 1.5 site. following migration instructions here
http://docs.joomla.org/migrating_from_1.0.x_to_1.5_stable

i set local server, create new database on it. migration on old site. download dump file, save original , use copy of it. install joomla 1.5 local server, follow above instructions , install migration file during install of 1.5.
