J 1.6 says installed, but not in Components menu

[nktower]

Joomla! 1.6 is installed and running in a subdomain: rmc.mydomainname.com
The root of this site is rmc3

I believe that I have followed the sequence described on

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... -in-joomla


I unzipped com_phocagallery_v2.8.0.zip into folder \Extract, preserving paths.
I ftp'd the contents of \Extract to /rmc3/tmp/large-component
The folder large-component now contains these folders:

• assets
  controllers
  elements
  front
  help
  language
  libraries
  models
  other
  tables
  views

and these files

• admin.phocagallery.php
  config.xml
  controler.php
  index.html
  install.bak
  install.phocagallery.php
  install.sql
  phocagallery.xml
  uninstall.phocagallery.php
  uninstall.sql

I logged in as administrator and went to the Extension Manager
I noticed this message in "Warnings"

Code: Select all

PHP temporary directory is not set
The PHP temporary directory is the directory that PHP uses to store an uploaded file before Joomla! can access this file. Whilst the directory not being set isn't always a problem, if you are having issues with manifest files not being detected or uploaded files not being detected, setting this in your php.ini file might fix the issue.

I do not see a PHP.INI file, but do see a configuration.php file ...
I examined the configuration.php looking for any reference to temporary directory and found only this:

Code: Select all

	public $tmp_path = '/homepages/37/d92728828/htdocs/rmc3/tmp';

I returned to the INSTALL tab of Extension Manager and put

Code: Select all

/homepages/37/d92728828/htdocs/rmc3/tmp/large-component/

in the 'Install from Directory field then clicked INSTALL
After about 10 seconds I got the following:
wihtin red box:

Code: Select all

        JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /homepages/37/d92728828/htdocs/rmc3/administrator/components/com_phocagallery
        JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
        JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
        Error building Admin Menus

and in blue box:

Code: Select all

Installing component was successful.

The Administration / Components menu drop down only contains 'comjumimenu'

I searched this forum and found a posting that said to run this SQL statement:

Code: Select all

UPDATE `jos_menu` SET `published` = '1',
`component_id` = ( SELECT extension_id
FROM `jos_extensions`
WHERE element = 'com_phocagallery' )
WHERE `title` LIKE '%phocagallery%'

I ran it, got "0 rows affected."

Please advise as to what to do next.

Thank you.

Hi, I think you need to check if your server meets the criteria to run Joomla! Anyway, Phoca Gallery 2.8.0 is a Joomla! 1.5 component. If you run 1.6 you should upgrade to 1.7 and install the latest Phoca Gallery - 3.0.2
