Can't Add or Edit category/Product

[illing]

I have this problem on a brand new install.   
Tried to see what happens with DEBUG either in Joomla or VM, but I get no hints.   Please help.
To eliminate potential db data stuff, I also installed a fresh sample data using the db tools.  SAME RESULTS, so it is not the data.

You can login http://http://generac.ca/administrator    as user: test  pwd: test.  Go to Virtuemart, Category (or Product) and try to edit a record.

Thank you for the hints. I have done everything, including installing the new VM 2.0.26a but I still get this (see picture) when I try to edit a category or a product.  Could it have something to do with PHP or Mysql versions?

This is my system info:

Certainly you should update your PHP version as that one is old and others have reported issues with 3.3 too. Go to the last available version of the 3 series if possible, or better, the latest in the 5.4 series.

A reinstall of the main component has helped on a couple of reports of a similar issue that I have seen. As ever, test on a backup copy of the site first.

SOLVED.  A Reinstall of Joomla on top of the existing one (via FTP overriding the files), followed by a Joomla Extension install of VM 2.0 has solved the problems.

On the other hand, this time (and I did not do that the first time I installed) I decided to INSTALL THE SAMPLE DATA both for Joomla and VM in a new db.  This was NOT done the first time as I just changed the configuration to use an existing DB.
On the new db containing also the samples, I have copied the content of all virtuemart tables, and VM works like a charm.
I cannot prove or disprove that the issue is data related or not.

Thanks for the help.

How did you do this exactly?  I am having the same issue
