Using the Teline IV Quickstart package, I have yet to get the sample data installed properly or the components, plugins, extensions or theme to show up.

I have tried to install the Quickstart package using XAMMP. When I get to the ‘Install Sample Data’ prompt, it errored. I uninstalled XAMMP and installed WAMP and it errors at the same spot. I can get past this part by clicking continue but when I go into the backend, I do not see any of the plugins, extensions, components or themes that should be part of the quickstart package. They appear in the wwwroot folder but are not showing up in the administrator control panel.

Any help?

Please describe the error you get when trying to install sample data.

After I click Install Sample Data, it takes approximately one minute and it finally comes back with the word ERROR in red letters. See attached screen shot.

Could you check the site configuration? This check is also performed during installation (second step, after language selection – there should be no red text “No” or “On”).

The minimal requirements for Joomla 1.6.x are:
Apache: v2.x
PHP: v5.2.4 +
MySQL: v5.0.4+

Option No.2.
– Download the latest version Joomla 1.6.3.
– Open the archive – delete file Joomla_1.6.3-Stable-Full_Package.zipinstallationsqlmysqlsample_data.sql
– Un-archive quickinstall package on local disk
– Copy (with replacement) files from Joomla 1.6.3 archive to the local folder where quick install’s files is stored
– Archive the overwritten files of the quick install package

In this way you should get an installation archive with Teline sample data/modules/plugins and latest Joomla 1.6.3.

I have verified all of the correct setting in the Joomla setup. There were no red flags. I overwrote the entire mysql folder from the most current version of the Joomla package.

It installed the sample data correctly, but the theme is still not present in the administrator control panel nor are the extensions, plugins, and components. They are present in the the actual directory but they are not registering in the control panel. Screenshots are attached.

You’ve got a clean Joomla installation. As I mentioned in my previous message, it’s necessary to delete sample data file (sample_data.sql) from Joomla 1.6.3 and then overwrite quick install files, but not vice versa as you did.
I cannot attach here the archive as it’s not small.

So, the procedure:
1. Unzip latest Joomla 1.6.3 on local drive, let’s say in folder /joomla/
2. Delete from from that folder file joomlainstallationsqlmysqlsample_data.sql
3. Unzip quick install archive, let’s say in folder /quickinstall/
4. Copy files from /joomla/ folder to /quickinstall/ with overwriting of files
5. Archive files from /quickinstall/ folder.
6. Try to install using the newly created archive.

Hope it helps.

I have just tested the latest quickstart on WAMP and it is working well.

Please do the following if using WAMP.

Go to the WAMP panel and in the PHP>Version menu click the “Get More” button and install using that an earlie version of PHP such as 5.3. Once installed select that version as the current active one. Next, do the same for MySQL and make surer it is active.

Next, again from your WAMP menu go to PHP>Extensions and make sure the phph_curl extension is ticked. If it isn’t simply click on it and wamp will restars with that extension running.

Next download just the quickstart archive from this site. In your WAMP www directory creat a folder named whatever you want your site to be called and put the archive in there. Unzip all the files directly into that folder.

Go into the Wamps phpmyadmin and in there make sure you have a password set for mysql for the root user on localhost and 127.0.0.1

Finally browse to localhost and click on your site running through the normal Joomla installer. Do not skip any section bar the ftp page. If you encounter any errors along the way try again but this time use a different browser. If you still get the error please post the exact error you are getting on here. If you use a screenshot please make sure it is readable as your first one is just too small.

I have performed the steps above using by installing PHP 5.3.0 (instead of 5.3.5) and installed MySQL 5.1.36 (instead of the 5.5.8). This seemed to have fixed the issue as I am not seeing the Teline IV template as well as all of the plugins, ext, and modules.

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I did not even know it was possible to change versions which is a real cool feature of WAMP.

Again, thanks for having such an active forum! (money well spent :))

Sure, I just liked the WAMP feature of switching different PHP and MySQL versions. But unfortunately it doesn’t work for me. As regards compatibility of the quickinstall with PHP5.3.5 – it went OK on XAMPP. So, the issue seems to be configuration of the local server, but not PHP version.

I have found that Wamp sometimes does not work on boxes that have had Xampp installed previously. I think Xampp replaces a couple of dll’s with ones that Wamp does not like.
