Installation problem for VM 2 on Joomla 2.5

[angiesimpsonab]

Hi All,

Versions:
- Virtuemart 2.0.18a
- PHP 5.3.5
- Joomla 2.5

I had been attempting to install VirtueMart 1.1.5 on Joomla 2.5 when I realized that this was not the latest release. My Joomla manual had provided me with an outdated link. I got an error and in attempting to solve it I discovered the newer releases

Instead of bothering to solve my old error, I went through the process of installing the latest VirtueMart. I got both success screens, but when I attempt to go to the shop I get the following error:

( ! ) Fatal error: Call to undefined method JLanguage::getBackwardLang() in C:\wamp\www\donovan\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\compat.joomla1.5.php on line 78

I am new to VirtueMart, but I hope that my previous failed installation of VirtueMart did not affect my latest installation? I am just running this on my localhost in attempt to get it running but to know avail.

Kind Regards
Angie

compat.joomla1.5.php does not exist in VirtueMart 2 - it is a file from VM1.1

You should have removed all 1.1 files from your Joomla installation before trying to install VM2. Suggest you restart with a new clean installation of J2.5.8
