I have installed the Buildr quickstart on a new site I'm working on, but it has Joomla 3.5.1 installed with it. Is it safe to upgrade directly from 3.5.1 to 3.7.2, or should I go through all the iterations between the two versions?

Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,

The Joomla core system will decide what version to install

Sometimes it may be incremental steps or just one update

I did not realize that! Good to know. Thanks!

I just used the Joomla updater, and received the following messge:

Warning
JInstaller: :Install: Error SQL Duplicate entry '802' for key 'PRIMARY'
Files Update: SQL error file DB function failed with error number 1062
Duplicate entry '802' for key 'PRIMARY'
SQL =

I don't see where this is affecting the site, but I also don't know what this means. Can you tell me if I need to be concerned?

Thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,

Sounds like the language package

Have you checked the database via manage > database?

I re-read a message in another post I made to here, and saw your suggestion to go to the database and do a "fix" on it. That solved this issue. Thanks!

You're welcome

I would use akeeba backup and make it backs up prior to the update

Cheers
