I'm upgrading my test site to CiviCRM 2.2.Beta3 and encountered the following problem. The original site was using Joomla 1.5.7 with CiviCRM 2.1.0.

I duplicated my live site to my local Windows environment with XAMPP installed. Tested the duplicated site and confirmed it worked properly, before starting the upgrade procedure as described in http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Upgrade+Joomla+Sites+to+2.2

Everything was working fine until I get to step 4, to run the Database Upgrade script. After running for a while it returned with error as below. Looks like it's trying to write some files into \xampp\tmp and failed. I guess something is not configure properly as \xampp\tmp should not be accessible anyway. The folder that's accessible should be \xampp\htdocs\....

Returning to the administrator homepage and rerun the Database Upgrade script, I get the message that "Your database has already been upgraded to CiviCRM 2.2.beta3". I'm still testing the 'upgraded' site and have not found any problem....so far.

A couple of questions:
* Any comments on why the error appeared to begin with?
* How do I confirm that the database has been upgraded properly?

Thanks
