Hi
I have been trying to upgrade Joomla from 1.5 to 2.5.7 and Civicrm from 3.3.5 to the latest 4.2.4. I have the Joomla part working ok. The upgrade seemed to go ok as well, except when I tried to do the update of the database.  The upgrade process ran through a number of point upgrades, but then stopped at Civicrm 4.1 alpha (I think). Afterwards when I click on the civicrm menu in Joomla administrator I get an error "The connection was reset" . Checking the Apache error log, I am now generating a segmentation fault in Apache error_log every time I click on the civicrm menu button.  I've been fighting this for days, and I need to get this running soon. I have a complete backup and running instance of the site as it was before so I can revert to it if need be.

Any help appreciated.

It's php 5.3.10, which is above the required spec, unless there is something wrong with that particular version. It is on a shared server that uses the directadmin control panel. However,I own the server.  Another website on the same server has Joomla 2.5.7 and civicrm 4.1.1 running successfully. I upgraded that one a few months ago. Can't understand why this one isn't working

unfortunately segmentation faults with php/apache are a bit hard to replicate and figure out why and typically is a bug within the php kernel. i think min requirements get thrown out the window in this case

Migration aren't too hard, generally speaking.

However when running updates it's definitely recommended to always run on a backup copy, because sometimes problems like this surface...
