CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am upgrading on joomla 1.5.8 followed the instructions on http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMUPCOMING/Upgrade+Joomla+Sites+to+2.2

I ran the install following step 3 on the wiki page and got this error:
JFile::read: Unable to open file: 'JOOMLA-ROOT/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.tpl

I also got these warnings:
Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in JOOMLA-ROOT/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 234

Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in JOOMLA-ROOT/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 250

I then copied administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/templates/CRM/common/civicrm.settings.php.sample.tpl to civicrm.settings.php.tpl and then got these warnings:

Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in JOOMLA-ROOT/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 234

Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in JOOMLA-ROOT/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 250
Files uploaded succesfully

It also gave Install Component Success

Should I proceed with step 4 or is the install broken?

I get this one on my laptop.

I've traced it to a problem with zip_open which is called from the Joomla! JArchive class. The problem is that zip_open returns an error code (ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ) rather than a resource, which the Joomla! code doesn't pick up. This leads to zip_read and zip_close failing.

When I instrument the code, this is what I see ...

echo zip_open($archivename);                => 5
echo constant('ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ');   => 5

The bug reported at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44974&edit=1 seems to be a possible candidate. Though the bug description refers to ZipArchive, note that the patch is made to zip_open.c. The indicators for this bug match my environment: PHP 5.2.6; 64-bit Linux; and a zip file with more than 1300 elements. I see from geraldr_sc's profile that he is also using PHP 5.2.6 - perhaps he could reply to give more details about his environment to show if the problem affects other platforms.

I can workaround this problem by running the install, getting the error, then unzipping the zip file manually (unzip civicrm.zip from the ...administrator/components/com_civicrm directory), and then running the install a second time. Though the second install gets zip errors, these have no impact on the success of the install as the unzipped contents are in place.

From my investigations ...

• This is a PHP issue, not a Joomla! issue (though Joomla! could do better error detection). The problem could be faced by Drupal users, unless they use different libraries
• It's probably limited to particular environments, though how widespread is hard to say
• There is an (ugly) workaround

Could we avoid the use of a zip file? The contents could be copied as directory tree.

This is my zip configuration when I print php_info ...

Zip	enabled
Extension Version	$Id: php_zip.c, v 1.1.2.43 2008/01/18 00:51:38 pajoye Exp $
Zip version	1.8.11
Libzip version	0.8.0-compatible

... so we have a match, bro. It would be interesting to know what is the environment that the CiviDudes are using.

BTW, is your host a 64-bit machine?

As far as "what next" goes, I'm like the cartoon dog chasing the rooster: I've just reached the end of my leash (twang!).

It is a shared host, but it is a 64 bit machine.

The quote from Lobo is helpful.

Thanks.
