Topic: Error Installing Joomla v1.5.20 on /opt or ibay

[flaviove]

Hi All,

Trying to install Joomla V1.5.20 on a Ibay or under a /opt directory using SME Site Maker, I have got the following error:

Error: the XML response that was returned from the server cannot be processed.

I am stuck.
Any help will be great.
Thanx a lot in advance,
Flávio Veras

hi Flavio:

did you try with Google? it seems to be a quite common issue

Hi Stefano,

I did lots and lots of search but I couldn´t find a real solution. Surely now I know that has nothing to do with SMESever. Then I decide to install Joomla v1.5.5 that is working beautifuly.on my SMEServerv8b6 box, under a /opt folder.

Thank you again for your quick response.

Cheers,
Flávio

did you install php 5 (see contrib)

[hawk]

my 5 cents
create ibay, download latest joomla 2.5 zip, (only if you are using SME then unzip and copy files directly into the ibay html folder. then use your browser http://serverip/ibayname/

this way you can run more than one site if you want or a testing site etc.

to install templates / modules copy the unzipped folder into ibayname/tmp then install with "install from directory"

thanks john

I had problems with Joomla 1.5.20 when installing on a test SME 8 beta7 installation so I decided to try 2.5.0.

I did much the same a Hawk.

• Uninstalled Joomla 1.5.20 (deletes the database as part of the uninstall).
• Checked my versions, (PHP 5.3.3, Mysql 5.0.95).
• Created an IBAY for the new Joomla.
• Downloaded Joomla 2.5.0 (full package) from:
  http://www.joomla.org/announcements/release-news/5403-joomla-250-released.html
  
• Unzipped to the new IBAY html folder.
• Used my web browser, (Firefox seems to work, MSIE gave errors), to access http://myserver/ibayname
• Followed the install instructions.
• Created a blank configuration.php in my IBAY HTML root folder.
• I copied the text for configuration.php displayed in the last step and pasted it to the blank configuration.php
• Deleted the INSTALLATION folder in the IBAY HTML root folder.
• Used my web browser to go to http://myserver/ibayname/administrator

This all seemed to work well.

Hope this helps

There are XSS vulnerability security issues with v 2.5.0 & 2.5.1 (& earlier versions) so you should now upgrade to Joomla v2.5.2

Thanks for the advice Mary. I will upgrade right now.
