Title: [ SOLVED ] How To Install Sample Data After Initially
Post by: DavidAllenNeron on February 07, 2012, 07:19:47 AM
How Do I Install The Sample Data?
I didn't install it the first time because I was testing the install, and now it won't give me the option anymore .. ?

any hints?

In VM Configuration set Enable database Update tools to yes. Make sure you save.

Go to Tools / Tools & Migration. Hit the "Reset all tables and install sample data" button.

That works OK on VM2.0.1e - have not tested this with earlier versions.

i followed your instructions and got the problem that all pictures are not avaliable in VM.

what is meant by this line?:
Warning, the Safe Path is empty, for safety reasons it is very important to create a folder in a path not accessible by an URL, create also a folder invoices in it to store your sensible data secure. Our suggested path is for your system C:\wamp\vmfiles

has it anything to do with my problem?

Thanks.

Safe path?  In the FAQs - http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98633.0

Check the image filenames, as they can get truncated in some setups and lose the filename extension. If so just unpack the com_VM component and copy the images over from admin/components/com_virtuemart/assets/images/vmsampleimages into your Joomla installation image directory to replace the files currently there.

Hello,

the config table erased and i got this error:
"JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1146 - Table 'vm2.erx_virtuemart_configs' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT * FROM `erx_virtuemart_configs`"

VM2.0.11 or VM2.0.11d? These are development versions, updated every few days for testing by experienced VM users to iron bugs out before it is stable and then will be released as 2.0.12

Any errors with the latest test version (currently d) should be reported in http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=136.0
