Got an error message saying something like 'Invalid token' when attempting to install into a vanilla 1.7 environment. Looks like everything is present and working so far. Any thoughts on this?
hmm something like "invalid token" is not really a good info. Can be joomla, can be vm2.
Yes, I agree. That's why I'm asking.
Just tried an experiment this morning - here's the full message:
Invalid Token, in store config
I think the error message tracks back to Akeeba Core, if using their enhanced 'System Restore Points' plugin. The error message above appears at this link:
http://www.mystore.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=installer&task=realinstall&a05095346c360a69844b378ce43873f7=1
So, it would seem that the VM installer and Akeeba aren't working well together. You might want to check this and at least suggest in the documentation (or with a screen warning) that those running the Akeeba backup core disable their plugin during VM installation.
Hmm, the error "Invalid Token, in store config" looks like a virtuemart one. Did you use the svn?
Okey, I think I found the error, there is a function, which turns off the dangerous database tools. This function calls the configuration and stores it there. The token was not in post, so it throwed the error.
So I take it that everything is alright, then?
