Title: Only Text in Admin
Post by: ianfay on October 17, 2012, 21:59:45 PM
I am not able to access the backend of VM.  I get the attached output.

Joomla: 2.5.6
Virtuemart: 2.0.12b
RocketTheme: ximenia

The error I receive is: Fatal error: Class 'JSimpleXML' not found in /home/saint/public_html/projects/145_ShebaJewelry/libraries/joomla/factory.php on line 407

I don't see much when searching.

Thoughts?

BTW - I tried the AIO for install and it didn't work, so used the other component.  Everything said it was installed correctly.

Hello,

Could try to download and install the tar.gz files from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files
Whats your PHP version?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.  Here is my PHP and Apache versions

PHP: 5.3.16
Apache: 2.2.22

********
When trying to install the AIO version I get the same error:
Warning: require(/home/xxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxx/public_html/tmp/install_507f123021b1d/script.vmallinone.php on line 319

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxx/public_html/tmp/install_507f123021b1d/script.vmallinone.php on line 319

and get an installed plugin called VMPAYMENT_STANDARD.

Upon uninstall I get:

Failed deleting en-GB.plg_vmpayment_standard.ini
Failed to delete /home/xxxx/public_html/administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_vmpayment_standard.ini

******

When trying to install the regular version I get an install with the attached output.  Once I click the "Go To Shop" button, I receive the same, original problem.

Any more ideas?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Make a full backup, try to uninstall AIO and then reinstall it. Also clean your joomla tmp directory.

Hello,

I uninstalled VM.  Cleared my tmp directory completely. Reinstalled using the tar.gz version extracted from the "extract first" zip found on the download site you provided.

I get this error:

Warning: require(/home/xxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/public_html/tmp/install_5080260f9aeba/script.vmallinone.php on line 319

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxx/public_html/tmp/install_5080260f9aeba/script.vmallinone.php on line 319

Could it be something with unzipping the file on my Mac?
Problem with my tmp folder permissions? They are currently wide open.

Thanks!

Hello,

There are two files inside the tar.gz when you unzipped it. First install vm component and after the vm aio extensions.

Hello,

After uninstalling everything and deleting all virturemart tables from my database, and then installing the component BEFORE the AIO, let me get to the backend of the cart.

Thank you for your speedy help!!

Love live virtuemart.

Spoke too soon.  As soon as I installed the AIO and used it to update files it went back to text.

Very delicately, we increased memory, I've got it to work.  I hate to provide a client with an e-commerce system that isn't rock solid and can crap out at the slightest upgrade.

Is there a way that I can check the validity of my install?

Thanks,

Ian

There is no problem with stability if the server is well configured and PHP resources are set high enough. Too many shared server hosts use minimal resources to try to pack on as many sites as possible. In this forum section I reckon at least a third of issues are due to inadequate resources. For example for Joomla2.5 to run well you need memory_limit to be 128Mb (or more).............

I understand.

I have a very current PHP version, my own VPS, and memory set to 500MB....  a 'well configured' server might not be quite my situation thought. ;)
