Joomla Upgrade on a New Linux VPS

Замовник: AI | Опубліковано: 19.02.2026

I’m moving my existing Joomla 4.6 site to a brand-new unmanaged VPS that runs on Linux, and I need the whole installation recreated there from an Akeeba backup. Once the site is live on the server it also has to be brought fully up to Joomla 5, keeping all extensions, template settings and data intact. You’ll have root access to the VPS plus the Akeeba .jpa archive and kickstart package. The stack should run on MySQL; if any server tweaks or additional packages are needed to make the upgrade stable, just let me know beforehand so I can approve them. Deliverables • Restore the site from the Akeeba backup on the Linux VPS • Configure the environment for Joomla (PHP, MySQL, web server) and harden it for production use • Perform the core upgrade to Joomla 5, resolve any compatibility issues, and confirm everything functions as before—front end, admin, and user logins • Provide a brief hand-over note outlining what was installed or altered on the server and any next-step recommendations I’m ready to start as soon as you are; please outline your approach and estimated timeframe when you reply.
