Hello guys,
all your help is needed. As you have probably noticed already, the VM auto-updater does not really reliable.
The problem is very complex because each server and each installation may have different settings. So let's try to help the Virtuemart-team with this thread to find what´s the reason of this crazy issues.
All what you need to do is, if you also have the live-update problems, that you post the following informations of your server settings and your systen in this thread.
I will update the first post of the thread a few times a day, so the Virtuemart-team can take the essential data, without reading the whole post and the discussion.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!!

Where can you find the data?Virtuemart Core (2 possibilities to find it)---> Please go to your Virtuemart dashboard and look at the bottom of the page at the left hand side
---> Please check it in the extension manager (http://www.yoursite.tld/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=manage)
(http://www.yagendoo.com/extern/vm-version.png)
Joomla (1 possibilities to find it)---> Go to your Joomla! backend and look at the bottom of the page
(http://www.yagendoo.com/extern/joomla-version.png)
All System-Infos--> Go to the following URL in your backend and find the data in the 5 tabs:
http://www.yoursite.tld/administrator/index.php?option=com_admin&view=sysinfo
(http://www.yagendoo.com/extern/server-infos.png)
But this costs me time!!! Yes, you´re right but:
--> any failed update needs more time ;)
--> the VM team also spends a lot of time for us
--> we´re a community, you get VM for free, so please pay with your feedbacks ;)
If you have further suggestions, what I forgot, then please give notice. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your input guys. Thank you yannick.
I think we have here two different issues. One issue is that some servers do not support the tar.gz or they get an error extracting it (I use 7-zip on Windows to compress it). The other issue seems to be for me the time. 30 secs for an installation of a 2mb file is just very short. When your connection is not strong, you need for the 2 mb already 20 seconds or even more.
Our problem atm is that there is also a problem with the live updater even when the people have servers which can use tar.gz and with an high execution time (for example 120 secs). I have different results on the same machine with almost the same packages. Strange thing, personnally I think the error is in the ars itself.
Hi all,
I try to update my Virtuemart 2.0.2 to 2.0.6 with Virtuemart auto-update, and I obtain this error :
Unable to read archive
Extracting the update package failed. Please try updating the extension manually.
My configuration :
a) Apache 2
b) PHP-version : 5.2.17
c) SQL-version : mysql 5.1.49
d) memory_limit : 90M
e) max_execution_time : 50000
f) Joomla! 1.6.3 Stable
g) Exact Virtuemart version BEFORE update : 2.0.2
h) Exact Virtuemart version of the update you want to : 2.0.6
i) Displayed error message :

Extracting the update package failed. Please try updating the extension manually.
j) Any not writable directory Permissions? : No
Any help would be apreciated.
Regards,
Michel
Edit : I've just migrated from Joomla 1.6.3 to 2.5.4 and the problem is the same.
I just got a message of some guy from denmark, they just changed the url and used their own server and it worked. Seems that our current hoster is just too slow.
That's a great information.
What is the URL to try this workaround ?
Michel
I can confirm the url workaround. I created my own download location and provisioning file.
And changed the path in './liveupdate/config.php'.
Installation went fine.
Maybe it's time for some 'extra' download locations?
With the provisioning method an ip-based close-location download should be possible....
I must add a dropdown with mirrors, or so.
hey guys!
I have updated virtuemart from 2.0.2 to 2.0.6 successfully but now in backend of virtuemart configuration
I'm getting additional tab like undefined and warning for directory

If you need us, we would be happy to sponsor a download-channel on our servers. I think it would the best if there is a "shuffle" in choosing the download-channel. But, this all not solve the issues with updating by the normal Joomla-installer. Or I am wrong?

Hello Ckliman,
please check my first post, there are all locations explained. To change the max_execution_time, please contact your server-admin.
the server is on my netbook. (WAMP)
can you provide instructions how to change that setting?
It's my first time with joomla and virtue, servers, database...
It's all so confusing.
Thanks

You all can just use the extension manager and it will automatically update virtuemart as well. Just be sure to do a back up with Akeeba 1st. I was having the same problem, and then just said scre# it with the auto- update and the extension manager worked perfect. ;D
Unable to decompress data
Extracting the update package failed. Please try updating the extension manually.
Can someone point me to the instructions to do a manual update?
I also see that stuff has to be writeable, can someone point me to instructions of what paths specifically need to be writeable?
We got an update about this, seems like that some people got this error
" PHP Warning: gzinflate() [<a href='function.gzinflate'>function.gzinflate</a>]: data error in"
and
"gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"
Maybe some tar.gz pro can tell us, why our tar.gzip programs work wrong. Btw, we used a windows and mac program, seems to be the same problem.

Ok this is not making sense to me.
I downloaded the tar.gz then just used the extension updater to load it up.
So what's the difference? Has the wheel been rewritten and is the same bit of code not being used?
Having said this, I won't be using either tool again in a hurry... took me 2 hours just to get my site mostly back to where I was when I started.
I half wonder if some sort of git patch system would be better that would let me pick and choose changes and alert me before stuff is just over written....
..and example was the GB language ini which was just over written with a new file but over looked that I've got modifications for my local country (New Zealand), and from what I can tell this was just done to add 1 new string to the file.
Please don't get me wrong guys, I'm not trying to kick the gift horse in the mouth, and I've been using VM for quite some time now, I'm here wanting to discuss the issues and am interested to hear feed back :)

Exactly the reason why VM2 is enabled to use language overrides. These do not get overwritten.

Cool... can you point me to instructions to set that up? I looked about for a language stuff but couldn't find it.
I was also wondering if I should submit a New Zealand file with more 'NZ' friendly language in it?
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=92944.0
And more information on languages in that forum section. http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=129.0 You could creat a Kiwi friendly language file, but it would have to be all as overrides unless Joomla itself has a selector for that language.

The problem seems to be that php does not recognize the zip file. I used this simple script to check this:
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('com_virtuemart_allinone.update.zip');
echo $res ."\n";
var_dump($res);
print_r($zip);
var_dump($zip);
if ($res === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('update/');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
The result is:
19
int(19)
ZipArchive Object
(
[status] => 0
[statusSys] => 0
[numFiles] => 0
[filename] =>
[comment] =>
)

int(0)
["statusSys"]=>
int(0)
["numFiles"]=>
int(0)
["filename"]=>
string(0) ""
["comment"]=>

}
failed
The error code 19 above means (according to http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.open.php)
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP - 19
Not a zip archive.
The same problem occurs both for vm and aio packages.
The script above works OK with any other zip file. The normal result with another file is:
1

ok
The problem looks like the zip archive is created in some way that php can not recognize it.
a) Server system : no idea
b) PHP-version : no idea
c) SQL-version : no idea
d) memory_limit : no idea
e) max_execution_time : no idea
f) Exact Joomla! version: Joomla! 2.5.6
g) Exact Virtuemart version BEFORE update : 2.0.12d
h) Exact Virtuemart version of the update you want to : 2.0.12f
i) Displayed error message: Fatal error: Cannot pass parameter 2 by reference in /home/demovir/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/liveupdate/classes/download.php on line 40
j) Any not writable directory Permissions? : none alerted
k) Optional: Any other info? : http://demo.virtuemart.net username: demo password: demo :) - joomla extensions manager is off limits in the demo, so its stuck here till an admin upgrades

also can not find documentation about how to FTP files over existing? (was easy work around in earlier versions but new versions include 'install' directory - so not sure if can safely upload and leave??
Very simple. The installer is already exactly the directory structure, except that the xml is not in it and the additional "install" directory. just delete this "install" directory, it is need for j2.5. then go to tools and execute update tables. and check the wiki http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki and our new http://docs.virtuemart.net/
"Extracting the update package failed. Please try updating the extension manually." is usually a server issue.
Hi VM Team,
Here is my details. MY issue is also that VM live update is not working all of a sudden (says Live update is not supported). And also very strangely, my menus of VM (Products, Product categories, shoppers etc) on the left dissappeared...I can send a screenshot if needed...

Hi Team,
got the "vanished menu" on the left of VM fixed.
herewith the topic that solved that issue...http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=119901.msg408185#msg408185
Still cannot update live anymore though...
Maybe you should take a look here https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/akeeba-backup-3x/12349-problem-with-auto-update.html
Just tried updating to Version 3.0.6 and no matter what I do I keep being told by Joomla that VirtueMart AIO need to be updated. I tried the automatic update via Joomla and I even downloaded the latest from your site and manually tried to install. Still being told that AIO needs to be updated!
I just checked and the Joomla Extension Manager is showing All in One as being at version 3.0.4.2 so it isn't getting updated...!
Ok, So I uninstalled the VirtueMart_allinone Component completely, and reinstalled it from this file which I just downloaded (com_virtuemart.3.0.6_ext_aio.tar.gz) I attached the exact file I just downloaded so you can see for yourself.
After installing from the above Joomla Extension Manager shows: VirtueMart_allinone Administrator Component 3.0.4.2 !!!! SO, YOU DISTRIBUTED THE WRONG VERSION...
So frustrating!!!!
relax - calm down -- I assume that it is just an oversight the version labelling
Is your site still working? So where's the problem?
I also assume there was no updates in the latest AIO pack - even if there were they have been installed...
am sure the labelling issue will be fixed shortly - if you had the slightest idea of the amount of work that goes into VM you wouldn't be so fast to criticise

If you made an update package in Joomla 3.4, using the same revision in the XML, this fails to update, if you use a zip, decompress all or using a server.
But this is not the case in joomla 2.x.
Eg. you do a xml with
<version>3.0.6.2</version> zip and install it on a server.
and make some change :
you reuse same number
<version>3.0.6.2</version> the package don't update
But
<version>3.0.6.4</version> the package update now.
I have VirtualMart 3.0.9 installed in Joomla 3.4.3 site. I am using

Try to unpublish or remove the skrill paiement, if you don't use it.
