Hello,
i did the upgrade to the last version of virtuemart.
Following the instructions, i uploaded first:
com_virtuemart.2.6.0a.zip
then:
com_virtuemart.2.0.6a_ext_aio.zip
After that, from the back end everything seems ok, but in front end i cannot even see the website. I see just a white page without errors or anything.
Php Version is : 5.3.17
Could anyone help me please?
Thanks.
Simone
Login to the Administrator back-end of Joomla! and go to Global Configuration.
Select Server tab.
Go to Error Reporting.
Change to Maximum in dropdown list.
When done, click Save button on the toolbar.
Now, go to your website (Frontpage) and press F5 (on the keyboard) to refresh your web browser. You will see a list of the error messages generated by your website.
I have the exact same problem.
Error reporting didn't help.
Manual update my Virtuemart version also didn't help.
Manual update my Joomla version also didn't help.
Create new database also didn't help.
But I know that the problem is VM related, cause when I disable the component the website works again.
Assuming that you are using at least PHP 5.3.10 then you can reinstall using Joomla's extensions installer.
If that does not work then see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=123237.msg421234#msg421234 - but that is not really recommended.
I agree with Jenks .. I did a test of the Live Updater and found it doesn't even report if the update failed!
You think it updates - but in fact in only updates the AOI - which is where the incompatibility with the modules and plugins (fatal errors) come from
see http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=123667.msg422208#msg422208
When you see the number of failed upgrades with the same questions (white screen FE) why is the live updater bundled with VM?
The Joomla installer always works - is just as easy - go figure...

I used this and it helped :D
Now here's a funny thing
the post you refer to http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=123237.msg421234#msg421234
shows the problem code as
if ($keyword = vmRequest::uword('custom_specification_name1', null, ' ')) {
causing 'PHP Fatal error: Class 'vmRequest' not found plugins/vmcustom/specifiation/specification.php on line 98'
Very true because in both vm2.6.0 & vm2.6.0a the class is vRequest in
administrators/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/vrequest.php
This class was introduced in 2.6.0 and it appears there are some AOI with the wrong class name
In the latest plugins/vmcustom/specifiation/specification.php the line is
if ($keyword = vRequest::uword('custom_specification_name1', null, ' ')) {
So a better fix is re-download the latest AOI and re-install
This is a seperate problem from people with the error
causing 'PHP Fatal error: Class 'vRequest' not found plugins/vmcustom/specifiation/specification.php on line 98'
In this case the helper file is missing and reguires a re-install of the component! - see
