Resolved: Could someone take a quick look at install file for Joomla?
September 04, 2008, 02:40:59 pm
When attempting to install CiviCRM2.1Beta3 into a Joomla 1.6 site I get the following error:

              JInstaller::install: File 'C:\Wamp\www\administrator\components\com_installer\com_civicrm\admin\toolbar.civicrm.php' does not exist

This is a clean install.  I had previously installed 2.1 Alpha 4 without a problem.  Before installing Beta3, I deleted all Alpha 4 files including the CiviCRM DB files.  I did this because I thought I had read that there was no upgrade path between 2.1Alpha and 2.1Beta (although I cannot find that statement any longer of the CiviCRM website).

Is the current downloadable 2.1 Beta3 file intended to be a new or upgrade install? 

I have noticed that the unzipped com_civicrm folder has a "toolbar.civicrm.php" file two directories down from the folder pointed to in the error message.  It is located at C:\Wamp\www\administrator\components\com_installer\com_civicrm\admin\civicrm\joomla\toolbar.civicrm.php

Any help is appreciated

Joomla 1.6 has been launched! The fabled release with ACL support and a load of other improvements. Been waiting years for that!

Sorry can't help you with your issue but I think you have Joomla 1.5. Damn was all wired then!

Good luck!

Joomla 1.6 doesn't look to be available - http://www.joomla.org/download.html. Any directions ?

Did you check if the problem persists with joomla 1.5 ?

Correction: Install Error Joomla 1.5.6 and CiviCRM 2.1Beta3
September 05, 2008, 10:05:05 am
In my original post, I mistakenly indicated I was using Joomla 1.6 - I meant Joomla 1.5.6. 

The rest of my original post was as follows:

When attempting to install CiviCRM2.1Beta3 into a Joomla 1.6 site I get the following error:

              JInstaller::install: File 'C:\Wamp\www\administrator\components\com_installer\com_civicrm\admin\toolbar.civicrm.php' does not exist

This is a clean install.  I had previously installed 2.1 Alpha 4 without a problem.  Before installing Beta3, I deleted all Alpha 4 files including the CiviCRM DB files.  I did this because I thought I had read that there was no upgrade path between 2.1Alpha and 2.1Beta (although I cannot find that statement any longer of the CiviCRM website).

Is the current downloadable 2.1 Beta3 file intended to be a new or upgrade install?

I have noticed that the unzipped com_civicrm folder has a "toolbar.civicrm.php" file two directories down from the folder pointed to in the error message.  It is located at C:\Wamp\www\administrator\components\com_installer\com_civicrm\admin\civicrm\joomla\toolbar.civicrm.php

Any help is appreciated

Re: Corrected: Install Error Joomla 1.5.6 (not Joomla 1.6) and CiviCRM 2.1Beta3

Make sure permission on that file (or its parent dirs) is not too strict.

Never tried wamp, but looking at some related posts problem could also be related to difficulty locating the file. Using double slashes have worked sometimes. (someone /w experience on wamp could help you out).

Could someone take a quick look at install file for Joomla?
September 07, 2008, 01:15:43 pm
In my original post, I described a missing file error when attempting to perform a clean install of 2.1 B3 on a Joomla 1.5.6 site. 

The com_install\civicrm_xml file contains the following code:

<files folder="admin">
      <filename>admin.civicrm.php</filename>
      <filename>toolbar.civicrm.php</filename>
      <filename>toolbar.civicrm.html.php</filename>
      <filename>install.civicrm.php</filename>
      <filename>uninstall.civicrm.php</filename>
      <filename>configure.php</filename>
      <folder>civicrm</folder>
    </files>

As I look at the admin folder, I have noticed that only the two of the six files exist (in bold).  In the 2.1 Alpha install files, all of the called-for files exist in the admin folder.  As I stated previously, I have been able to install the 2.1 Alpha and 2.0 releases without problem (after I had adjusted the timeout/memory parameters in the php.ini file).

I am no expert in this and may be on the wrong track, but could someone look at this and make sure the required files are in their correct loacation in the Joomla install file.

Thanks

In my downloaded copy of civicrm-2.1.beta3-joomla.zip "admin" dir has all the files present. Could you re-download & check ?

Well now I just feel stupid.  I re-extracted the original download file and the files were all there.  I'm not sure what happened - I have been downloading/unzipping dozens of Joomla extensions lately and this is the first time there have been missing files.

Thanks for your help Deepak and sorry for the false alarm.
