@Michael78
Thanks, I updated the first post.

@rupesh
Please safe the config, clear your cache and reload the page.

@milbo
If you need us, we would be happy to sponsor a download-channel on our servers. I think it would the best if there is a "shuffle" in choosing the download-channel. But, this all not solve the issues with updating by the normal Joomla-installer. Or I am wrong?

Hello Ckliman,

please check my first post, there are all locations explained. To change the max_execution_time, please contact your server-admin.

[ckliman]

the server is on my netbook. (WAMP)
can you provide instructions how to change that setting?
It's my first time with joomla and virtue, servers, database...
It's all so confusing.

Thanks

You all can just use the extension manager and it will automatically update virtuemart as well.  Just be sure to do a back up with Akeeba 1st. I was having the same problem, and then just said scre# it with the auto- update and the extension manager worked perfect.

        Unable to decompress data
        Extracting the update package failed. Please try updating the extension manually.



Can someone point me to the instructions to do a manual update?

I also see that stuff has to be writeable, can someone point me to instructions of what paths specifically need to be writeable?

[Milbo]

We got an update about this, seems like that some people got this error
" PHP Warning:  gzinflate() [<a href='function.gzinflate'>function.gzinflate</a>]: data error in"

and

"gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now"

Maybe some tar.gz pro can tell us, why our tar.gzip programs work wrong. Btw, we used a windows and mac program, seems to be the same problem.
