Phoca Download Alpha on Joomla 3.0 - 404 Error

[CanadaRunner]

Hello

I've a problem with the new alpha version of the fantastic Phoca Download Extension.
My problem I get an 404-Error in the Joomla 3.0 back-end after installing the extension.
For the first time, everything works perfect. After that I deleted the extension, because I changed the CSS and I want to get the original on.
But now is the problem, that after clicking on the installation button Joomla! throws me an 404-error with the hint, that the component wasn't found.
I cleaned my cache.

My Information:

Joomla 3.0 on a local Mac with MAMP.

Can someone tell my whats the error?

Thx

Hello,
I am new with Phoca Download. I also have the same problem (Joomla 3.0). Installation of Phoca Download the first time was ok, then I installed the Phoca Download plugin, installation ok, but it gave some errors with Phoca Download. I de-installed both and tried to install again, installation of the plugin is ok, but I cannot install the Phoca Download again, it says immediately after my attempt to install: Error occured 404 Component not found. When I look in my ftp I can see com_phocadownload is installed in the folder of administrator/components and in components. Is there already a solution found?

Hello again,
I re-installed everything, including joomla 3.0 and started all over. Everything ok, so it seemed, after installing the Phoca Download Plugin (said installation ok), I activated the plugin (this is possible), but when I click on the plugin-name or any other plugin or module I get the message:

Warning: require_once(/home/xxxxx/domains/xxxxx/public_htmlDScomponentsDScom_phocadownloadDShelpersDSroute.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/domains/xxxxx/public_html/plugins/content/phocadownload/phocadownload.php on line 16

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxxx/domains/xxxxx/public_htmlDScomponentsDScom_phocadownloadDShelpersDSroute.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/deb44796n3/domains/facileenroute-reisgids.eu/public_html/plugins/content/phocadownload/phocadownload.php on line 16

This is the same error I had the first time, but then I thought it might be my mistake, but I do not know what to do now.

This is the same error I had the first time, but then I thought it might be my mistake, but I do not know what to do now.

i managed to solve the warning above by adding:
if(!defined('DS')) {define('DS',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);}

but then i got a new error: public_html/components/com_phocadownload/helpers/route.php
it says there is no such file
And indeed there is no such file in my directory.
In the file public_html/plugins/content/phocadownload/phocadownload.php they refer to
require_once( JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_phocadownload'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php' );
require_once( JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_phocadownload'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'phocadownloadlayout.php' );
require_once( JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_phocadownload'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'phocadownload.php' );
require_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_phocadownload'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'phocadownload.php' )

none of these files are available?

Hi, there is no Phoca Download Plugin for Joomla! 3

Jan

[annedob]

Ok, no Plugin, but then what can i do then with the Phoca Download Alpha for 3.0, how does it work then? Is there a way to have i working?

[annedob]

I have everything working now, but I hope the Plugin will be available soon. Thank you,

Hi, Phoca plugins and modules will be overwritten after all components will be overwritten. I hope I will overwrite them before Joomla! 3 LTS will be stable.
