I just tried to install the latest nightly build and it failed.. The messages are:
Unrecoverable error "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10)"
and
Installation file not found
I was supposed to extract the com_virtuemart_1.1.0.zip from the main zip file and install it as a component, correct?
Well anyways, that's what happens.
anyone have this problem?
VM 1297 installed OK for me on J1.0.15 and J1.5.1
Yes, the component com_virtuemart_1.1.0.zip is installed from the component directory of VirtueMart_1.1.0_COMPLETE_PACKAGE.zip
hmm weird.. well no good for me so I can't install it to help with testing anything.. Hopefully the stable version will install...
The error has nothing to do with VM, it is a server issue, if you can't install the RC probably you won't be able to install the stable.
Did a Search found the following
"Server using PCLZip as opposed to GZip and it can't handle the zip files"
Comment out the following variable in php.ini
;mbstring.func_overload = 0
I have never had a problem installing a Joomla component before (including Virtuemart 1.0.x) What is different about 1.1 that is causing this to suddenly happen to me? If it's going to happen to me, it will happen to others I'm sure. Perhaps VM needs to go back to the "old way" whatever that was...
Maybe your host changed something. anyway I'll keep this in mind.
I've installed other components today without issue, so I don't think anything changed on my host's end. I'm on PHP 5.2.5
I just sent an email to my host..
From where did you download VirtueMart?
I downloaded it from the dev website:
http://dev.virtuemart.net/cb/proj/doc.do?doc_id=1328
It shouldn't make a difference but can you try this one http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=31381.0
Yeah, it didn't make a difference, same
Unrecoverable error "PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10)"
I just attempted to install the new nightly build and had the same error happened again, no word yet from my host who is taking an usually long time to reply about this issue.....
Server info please
My host finally replied with this:
QuoteNothing has changed on the server recently. The variable that you mentioned is already commented out, and our server is using the standard GNU gzip that comes with the Linux distribution that we use:
[root@host101 ~]# gzip -V
gzip 1.3.5

The only way I can get VM to install is if I unzip the download, and then rezip it with winrar. So there's definitely something funky with the component zip file. (I didn't have trouble with the mod_virtuemart zip file)
I would still say it is a server issue, I have installed successfully on HostPC, Dreamhost, Site5, MT, Yahoo hosting and localhost using WAMP.
Well, what is different about the zip file I download from you, as opposed to unzipping it, and then rezipping it with winRAR? It installs without any issue when I do that. So there has to be something different about that zip file. It's the only time it has ever happened with any extension I've installed. And again, in the same package, the module installs fine.
I too use WinRAR to create VM archive, I have no clue why is not working for you as I mentioned works for me fine on many hosts.
I'm getting same error on both RC1 and nightly build.
Like the other user I unzipped it and re-zipped it with winrar, and was then able to install without a problem.
Definitely something funky with the zip method.
just tried to install the latest nightly build with the same error. I hope this goes away before the stable is released...
yeah, it worked with that trick
Hi i had the same problem
