I have quite a problem with TCPDF.
I created a site with Joomla 3.9.1 on localhost.
Transferred the site to remote.
The content of the site is correct.
TCPDF 6.2.12 doesn't create an invoice.
In the Joomla administrator/log/com_virtuemart.log.php it reads:
You first must install TCPDF in the directory libraries.
ERROR vmError: vmPdf: For the pdf, you must install the tcpdf library at ../libraries/tcpdf
I removed TCPDF from administrator/libraries and did a new install of TCPDF.
However, TCPDF stil doesn't work. TCPDF displays the home page instead.
Please advice,
Regards
installed http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1137/com_tcpdf_1.0.5.zip ?
at first I re-installed the TCPDF part of the VirtueMart download.
As this didn't function, I installed from http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1137/com_tcpdf_1.0.5.zip
The same result.
When I do a complete new Joomla and VirtueMart installation on remote, TCPDF works fine.
I do suppose, when a VirtueMart installation on localhost is transferred to remote, somewhere something in the configuration,
be it in configuration.php or Joomla's Global Configuration System Settings "Path to Log Folder" or Server Settings
"Path to Temp Folder" or Safe Path or ... gets mixed up or simply lost.
Could it be, that VirtueMart should be installed on remote only?

Did you use Akeeba to move the site?
Quoteconfiguration.php or Joomla's Global Configuration System Settings "Path to Log Folder" or Server Settings
"Path to Temp Folder" or Safe Path
these must be adjusted in any case .. as Jenks suggests .. Akeeba will prompt u to do this
but don't see the connection with failed TCPDF stuff
No Akeeba, have to follow the providers rules.
Create new database, import DB from localhost.
Transferred site content from localhost to remote.
Adjusted configuration.php, joomla settings for log and tmp path, in VirtueMart configuration --> templates --> safepath.
Checked VirtueMart Tools --> Tools & Migration --> Safe Path Tools. /vmfiles is writable
This morning tcpdf installed again and, this time, using PuTTY to monitor the directories.
After installation tcdpf is in the directory /libraries/tcpdf.
After going to VirtueMart --> Shop --> Shop --> Invoices/Emails and than Save
tcpdf is not in /libraries/tcpdf but moved to /libraries/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf.
