My source cart is VirtueMart installed under Joomla. Normally, I access my Joomla admin panel, and from there, I select the VirtueMart component. So, I'm not sure where I have to put connection bridge.

Where to Upload the Connection Bridge for VirtueMart Migrations?

If your source cart is VirtueMart installed under Joomla, and you typically access VirtueMart through the Joomla admin panel, you might be wondering where to upload the connection bridge for your VirtueMart data migration.

The connection bridge facilitates secure data transfer between your VirtueMart store and the Cart2Cart service. Here's how to upload it:

  1. Locate your Joomla root directory. This is the main directory where your Joomla installation resides. It usually contains folders like "administrator," "components," "modules," etc. You can typically access this directory using an FTP client (like FileZilla) or through your hosting provider's file manager.
  2. Upload the connection bridge file (provided by Cart2Cart) to this Joomla root directory. Ensure the file is placed directly in the root, not inside any subfolders.

By placing the bridge in the Joomla root directory, Cart2Cart can establish a connection to your VirtueMart database through Joomla, enabling a seamless data migration process. For more information on how connection bridge works, please refer to this article.
