MageBridge FAQ

Can I use Vm2Mage on existing Magento sites?

Yes, you can. Vm2Mage does not require a clean Magento install. All products, categories and customers that are migrated from VirtueMart, will just be added as new entities to Magento^TM.

Do Magento and Joomla! need to be installed in the same place?

No, the migration using Vm2Mage is taking place over HTTP, which means that Magento^TM and Joomla!^TM can be installed on separate domains and even separate webservers. This puts down the requirement that firewalls need to allow incoming and outgoing HTTP-traffic and that domainnames can be resolved properly on both environments.
