Need to check against an error received during install
October 22, 2012, 07:31:39 am
Hi there,

I've ensured that all compatibility requirements have been met, and have installed the latest CiviCRM in to Joomla 2.5. 

I did receive the "... have been INSTALLED succesfully." message, but there was also a Joomla error message above this.

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file

I had installed from the /tmp directory per the instructions.  Fresh install on a new VPS.

Is this something that I should be concerned with?  Or have I missed something somewhere that says that it's okay?

Andrew

did you unzip the package in the /tmp folder? if you simply uploaded the .zip package and tried installing that file, it would not have worked. you have to unzip the package in that folder and then reference the resulting folder (should be ..../tmp/com_civicrm)

Hi lcdweb,

Yes, the zip file was uploaded to /tmp and then uncompressed using the "File Manager" from cPanel.  So the resulting install path for the Extension Manager "Install from Directory" feature was /home/chercivi/public_html/tmp/com_civicrm

Also, I can add that CiviCRM does not appear anywhere in the "Components" menu in the admin back-end.  However, the 'success' UI link to the "Configuration Checklist" does work.

If I go to the "manage" section of the Joomla Extensions Manager, I can use a "civi" filter and the results include the following: "CiviCRM", "CiviCRM QuickIcon", "CiviCRM System Listener", and "CiviCRM User Management".

try installing it again.
it won't hurt to install on top of the existing installation. it's possible it timed out or something, as it sounds like it was partially, but not completely, installed.

Interesting.  It seems to identify the existing install.  The resulting notice was ...

CiviCRM component files have been UPGRADED succesfully.
Please run the CiviCRM Database Upgrade Utility now. This utility will check your database and perform any needed upgrades.

Also review the Upgrade Guide for any additional steps required to complete this upgrade.

CiviCRM is now listed in the "Components" menu.  Most encouraging.

Any ideas on what the issue might have been, given what we now know?  (And will the 'upgrade' have possibly borked anything?  This is a technical test install.)

Hmmm ... this might have something to do with it.  Frolicking through my Joomla admin and the Extension Manager "Warnings" section contains the line ....

The PHP temporary directory is not set
The PHP temporary directory is the directory that PHP uses to store an uploaded file before Joomla! can access this file. Whilst the directory not being set isn't always a problem, if you are having issues with manifest files not being detected or uploaded files not being detected, setting this in your php.ini file might fix the issue.

Yah.  That could possibly be it.    ;D
