I am testing a Joomla component which I cannot get to install and unfortunately cannot name it here. In Joomla 1.5+ you install components, modules etc through
the admintool, very straight-forward
1) from the Joomla administration panel I select Extensions --> Install/Uninstall
2) I used all the installation options:
Upload Package File
Install from Directory
Install from URL
*) I cannot get it to successfully install so did the common install procedures in option 2 above on 2 different operating systems and several browsers:
Ubuntu Linux & Firefox
Ubuntu Linus & Konqueror
Ubuntu Linux & Epiphany
WinXP & Firefox
WinXP & IE
Full Error Message:
----------------------------------------------------------
* Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/dhoward/public_html/j/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 234
Warning: zip_close() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in /home/dhoward/public_html/j/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 250
Unable to find install package
----------------------------------------------------------
I gave the developer admin access to try himself and for him it works flawlessly, cannot reproduce the error. The only differences are that he uses a Mac and it
takes him 10 vs 20 seconds for the upload/install to process. If I google the error it seems to talk to a problem with zip_open or zip_read (Joomla) but if
this were so, then why would anything work for me and why does it work for him?
Idaas? Bob
