Migrating and Upgrading to Joomla! 5.x • Re: Update to version 5

Your web host may provide a backup service - ask them if they have a recent backup of your site from the time before you did the update.

Serve doesn't have such an old backup.

You could export your database from phpMyAdmin (as a *.sql file) and download all the Joomla system files for your Joomla installation as well from your web hosting (using FTP or the file manager in your hosting's administration area e.g. cPanel or equivalent).

I can make a backup from FTP and a backup from phpmyAdmin for example from today's date. I can also run this backup on localhost.

Then install Akeeba Backup and make frequent backups from this time forward. From there, you can then update to J5.

if I understand correctly, should I make a copy of my site on localhost, install Akeeba Backup and from it try to update to J5?

Open Base: /nfsmnt/:/data/:/usr/php82/:/usr/bin/:/apachetmp:/tmp/:/var/tmp/:/dev/urandom:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ImageMagick-6.8.9/bin-Q16/:/usr/local/bin/:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
Ask your host why you are using this. It is better when this directive is empty.

I don't understand this at all. Should I ask the hosting why they use ca-certificates.crt? Do you think there might be a problem with updating to J5 there?
