Failure at install

[Akaiah]

Hello,

hope you can help me. I bought a template and with this Phoca Maps come in the package. But everytime i try to install it, i get this message:

Code: Select all

        Component Install: DB function reports no errors
        Failed deleting uninstall.phocamaps.php
        Failed deleting phocamaps.xml
        Failed deleting install.phocamaps.php

I've tried to download a new release but getting the same result. Also tried to install it from directory and give 777 to everything but nothing works.

Hope for a quick response.

Hi everyone,

i'm having the same problem.
When i go to extension manager->manage and search for phocamaps if found four results, three 2.0.0 version and one 2.0.1. But they are not installed!!!!
When i try to do a fresh install it says that can not delete de very same component

Any idea?

Thanks,
Nuno

Hmmm, I think, this is more a question on Joomla! developers - on developers of the extension manager I by myself I have no experiences with such kind of error

Its working!

Thanks to coffee suggestion to other component i managed to workaround the problem.

Here what i've done:

1/ Delete all record relate Phoca Maps in these tables of DB
* __assets
* __extensions
*__menu
2/ reinstall component.

Tks.

That worked... note to author: you should add the sql statements to remove those entries in the uninstall.sql file that you already have in the zip file. if they don't exist and Joomla did its job great if not then well there is at least a fall back... Plus that was the first place I looked for answers once I saw this error - to my surprise though it was just an empty file...

Hi, Phoca Maps includes such information:

Code: Select all

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__phocamaps_map`;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__phocamaps_marker`;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__phocamaps_icon`;

Removing assets, extensions, menu cannot be solved in component, all entries to these tables are done by user or Joomla! which installs the component - so this is solved by Joomla! itself - Joomla! removes entries which it adds, and entries added by users should be removed by users (this cannot be done by the component automatically, because it can damage user's settings)
