[FIXED] Bug Report - Installation Error

[amwhite2008]

Hi

I've come accross the following error when installing Virtuemart 1.1 rev. 1280 (Feb. 29th). After installation, installing virtuemart with sample data throws out the following:

Update Log

Fatal error: Call to undefined function vmshoulddebug() in /home/cw/public_html/new_site/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_database.php on line 76

I cant proceed past this point. I have tested it on the following systems:

Joomla 1.5.1
PHP 4.4.4 and PHP 5.0.45
MySQL 4.1.21 AND MySQL 5.2.5
Apache 1.3.36 AND Apache 2.2.6
IE 7

The lower versions were all tested together, and the higher versions all tested together. Joomla 1.5.1 Stable used in both tests, with IE7.

Thanks
Alex

Confirmed: Must include require_once file /DebugUtil.php before calling function vmShouldDebug() in ps_database.php.

Hello,

I tried using the March 7 nightly build of VirtueMart_1.1.0_nightly-COMPLETE_PACKAGE.j15 on a Joomla 1.5.1 site. I have enabled the Legacy plugin, but I am still getting the same error messages:

Warning: installvirtuemart(/home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_database.php) [function.installvirtuemart]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/install.php on line 112

Fatal error: installvirtuemart() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_database.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/install.php on line 112

Is there anything else that needs to be done so VM will install?

How do I uninstall VM now that it is partly installed? If I tried the installer to uninstall it I get the same sort of error messages and if I try to install a new copy, I get the message that there is already something using the directories. If I delete the components/com_comprofiler and administrator/components/com_comprofiler folders, VM still shows up in the list of installed components and if I try to install it again, I then see 2 copies of VM in the components list.
I have been wiping everything out, reinstalling Joomla and then trying to install VM, but I need to start installing other extensions and working on the site, so I can't be wiping it out everytime VM does not install properly.

VirtueMart 1.1 works in Joomla 1.5 without need of legacy plugin, can not duplicate your issue install OK for me, could be php4 issue.

Hello,

Thank you for you help. I have asked my hosting provider how to get php5 on the account.

Do you have any suggestions about my uninstall/install questions?

Thanks.
