Joomla upgrade to current verion failed
August 21, 2011, 07:06:18 pm
I am trying to upgrade from 3.25 to 3.4.4 and it will not fully install.  When I run the install from the directory, the following errors appear.  This is for a live site with members and event and we need to get back up ASAP.  Any help is appreciated. :'(

Seems you are missing the file

/home/crew/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.tpl

which is supposed to be there--it's part of CiviCRM. Can you manually replace the CiviCRM source files?

Thank you Hershel.  We finally found it was an error caused by our hosting and had to manually install.  All seems ok now.

@lseibert Can you tell me what the server configuration problem was? I am experiencing exactly the same problem, however in my case I can fix the configuration - if I knew what the problem was.

For reference, I found that using the '-alt.zip' version of CiviCRM 4.0.5 for Joomla 1.6 fixed the issue. The problem is an apparent glitch in zip archive support on a Debian server. The default install includes a nested zip archive that the PHP installer failed to unzip (but throws no error). Using alt avoid the nested zip issue.

Couple of questions arise:
1. What benefit is there from nesting zips inside zips? Seems redundant, and just likely to cause problems if server config lacks the correct zip support.
2. If unzipping fails, it would help if an error was thrown saying 'unzipping fails, install zip support or use -alt.zip installation file'.
