Title: Where is this manual installation package of Virtuemart?
Post by: mithra on September 13, 2014, 20:41:14 PM
I have been searching the google, your web site since morning.

I am seeing the links on how to install it manually, but not the actual package for version 3.xx/2.xx.

There are only version 1.x.x manual installation packages.

Anybody can help?

To install is extremely simple - just unzip the http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/786/com_virtuemart.2.6.10_extract_first.zip and install the two zip files contained in it by the std. Joomla installer
Thats it..
plenty of info on http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual.html

Thank you!

I don't want to install joomla. Just Virtuemart is enough.

Where is this joomla installer? It is in the zip file? I can not install Virtuemart without Joomla?

hmm - back to basics

VM is an extension FOR Joomla -- therefore.... (I'll let you finish the sentence)

Lets check joomla if I can just install it and can not use it (ofcourse I can upgrade it)

OK. I found out the problem.

I am using latest joomla and using 2.6.x Virtuemart.

I installed 2.9.9b version of Virtuemart which is compatible with latest joomla, it worked.

But got this message with first package:

---------
Message

Couldnt read dir source /home/username/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/assets/images/vmsampleimages

Installing component was successful.
---------------

thanks for your time!
