[solved]Cannot Find XML file in VirtueMart 1.98 Upload To Joomla 1.7

[doug4r]

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.

Well...
Read carefully the file name: Virtuemart1.9.8.RC2d_extact_first.zip
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?

The new version is G not f :-)

Hi

JFolder: :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.

[Vorwaerts]

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 :/

Regards.

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

Hi,

Please take a look at this

[wkaatz]

Please do as alatak suggests, and view my post of yesterday, marked solved

It works and is simple.

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.
