Installing 2.2Beta Joomla version
February 05, 2009, 02:05:07 am
I have downloaded the Joomla file and have an error message:

Your PHP version is missing zip functionality. Please ask your system administrator / hosting provider to recompile PHP with zip support.

You will need to uninstall CiviCRM from the Joomla Extension Manager.

Firstly, the source file is a zip and not tar.gz as implied in the notification email. I don't think that's an issue, correct me if I'm wrong. Secondly, I am not going to uninstall Joomla! (yet) as this is contrary to the install instructions!

I am following the install instructions on "http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Upgrade+Joomla+Sites+to+2.2" and tried to ensure the path is correct but I assume from the error that Joomla! has found the stuff OK - it's just wrong somehow.

Advice appreciated.

I did look on my WAMP control and did show it not to be enabled. I was not expecting to do this as I had unzipped to the civi_crm folder. I did enable this and repeated the install action. The install ended up with a blank page after about 2mins. If I go to Joomla! admin and select any of the civiCRM links I get a blank page.

You should check apache log for errors.

Error log:

Restart all services - no change.

Also, if I go in at the FE I also get a blank page. There's a URL wrong somewhere? Most of the files at root are dated today and a mix dated elswhere today and previous install (but I guess that's to be expected).

If anyone has any ideas (reinstall is the option I'll consider next)?

PS I have to point out I have not proceeded to the DB step. But then I should have got a "Success" from the upgrade.

are you installing into Joomla from a directory?  are you pointing the joomla installer at the proper directory?  the install package needs to be unzipped into the folder of your choice (usually tmp).  the joomla installer should then not need to unzip anything.

the new version has a zip file within the zip file. we unzip the file during the installation process and hence need a native zip library compiled into php (else its a bit too slow and will timeout)

OK, then I have performed the correct operation; unzipped to a directory, pointed the installer at the folder and this "unzipped the inner file and went ahead. It ended up as I described above.

Has anyone experienced this and have a solution?

Is this normal behaviour and I have to go straight to the DB upgrade and ignore this apparent failure?????

Can I repeat in some way?

Should I scrap the installation and start again (pity if it's just a config. problem)?

Willing to supply any data if it helps.

are you on a shared host? if so, your best bet would be to uninstall and reinstall.

Another disaster. I've done a clean Joomla! install because CiviCRM would not uninstall the last version. I've followed the install instructions for directory install and I end up with a blank white page. If I go back to Joomla! admin I can see CiviCRM but all links go to a blank page.

Advice appreciated because this will not uninstall.

civicrm.settings.php:

global $civicrm_root;

$civicrm_root = 'C:\wamp\www\civicrm\administrator\components\com_civicrm';
define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILEDIR', 'C:\wamp\www\civicrm\media\civicrm\templates_c\' );

Hm, that's sort of worked it is not giving me a 404 page "Component not found" when I invoke any of the CiviCRM menus in Joomla! admin. I see that the DB has NO civi tables whatsoever.

Beta 2 is not on the website. How do I make the changes to Beta 1 assuming my install has failed due to that reason?

I'm having the same problem, with getting:

Your PHP version is missing zip functionality. Please ask your system administrator / hosting provider to recompile PHP with zip support.

You will need to uninstall CiviCRM from the Joomla Extension Manager.

Has anyone actually found the resolution to this? I'm running on a shared hosting enviornment, and have no problem installing (either via upload or directory) other components/extensions that have been in .zip format. It is definitely choking on the zip within a zip. And, since it is a share hosting environment, I cannot have them recompile php with the zip option.  So, this zip within a zip is preventing the install. Any chance of going back to no zip within a zip to increase compatibility with hosting environments?

Is there a manual install procedure, or can someone offer the code that will allow the install of the application after first unzipping the zip within a zip within my install directory? I'm trying to give a demo of civicrm in less than two days and was hoping to get the beta up with some test data in it.

I've manually uninstalled the alpha version and am still having the problems, so doesn't appear to be a alpha->beta migration issue, per se.

Any help appreciated.

if you are php/shell savvy, you can do the following:

1. unzip the civicrm distribution to a directory

2. unzip the civicrm.zip file from the above directory

3. modify the civicrm.xml file to reference the civicrm folder (<folder>civicrm</folder>) and remove the reference to the zip file

4. modify configure.php and comment out the part which unzips the zip file
