Title: [solved]Cannot Find XML file in VirtueMart 1.98 Upload To Joomla 1.7
Post by: doug4r on August 24, 2011, 04:58:43 AM
When I try to install the extension:

Virtuemart1.9.8.RC2d_extact_first.zip

under:

Joomla 1.7.0

I get the error message:

Cannot find XML setup file

and the upload fails.

Please advise.

Good luck

Hi

You can try this new version now:
http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/320/virtuemart1.9.8.RC2F_extract_first.zip

As mention in the previous post, you must unzip first, and then install the 2 packages.

Got the exact same error message with J1.7.0 and VM 1.9.8F. I've checked the folder permissions (i.e. /tmp/), .zip file etc. and even tried to repack the .zip file but without any luck (and yes I extracted the 2 files first).

I don't think it's a matter of my PHP upload_max_filesize setting as it is very high and the .zip file is successfully uploaded into /tmp/. Also other components installs fine.

post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 10M
memory_limit = 32M

Here's my complete error message:

        JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp/install_4e7740533370b
        JFolder: :folder: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp/install_4e7740533370b
        JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp/install_4e7740533370b
        JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file

Got some other hints or things to try?

Hi

QuoteJFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/tmp
Are you sure this is the correct path to tmp folder?
Sometimes you get this error because the tmp path is not correct.

Yes I'm quite sure about the tmp folder as this is my standard for all my Joomla sites. I've also tried out the revision G but with the same results :/

1. Make sure upload limit is not 2MB
2. Make sure your tmp folder is chmod to 777
3. Install Joomla in /httpdocs/ and not in /httpdocs/tmp/
4. Try the virtuemart1.9.8.RC2H_extract_first.zip

So, following that post "seems like your server has a limitation in that it can only extract or create archives with less files than your OS's file handle limit."

I own a virtual image server that I can have full access to. Is there a way to unblock this feature?
I know this is not the place to pose such a question, since it seams an apache/linux issue however, it does imply in the ability of a smooth virtuemart user experience... perhaps some sort of pack division to make it able? Or a step by step... first the core, then the search plug, etc....
Thank in advance.

That is the reason why we have 2 components: one for the core of VM, and the other for the plugin and the modules.
