I am having trouble installing JomSocial on top of the JA Social component. Here are my details:

Joomla 1.7
JomSocial 2.4
JA Social for Joomla 1.7
*I am working from a WAMP server so I can’t give access

I am creating a fresh site so I used the JA Social quickstart package. This worked fine, the site looks good. The problem is after I install JomSocial. The install of JomSocial is successful, I add the menu link, but when I try to navigate to the JomSocial(community) page I get the following error:

In Chrome:

In Firefox:

Here is my install process:
1. Install JA Social via quickstart package – successful, looks good
2. Ensure all folder paths needed are writeable
3. Install JomSocial – successful
4. Create JS menu link – successful
5. Navigate to JomSocial link on front-end and I get the above errors

Now here is what I am struggling to figure out…

When I install this way every thing works, I do not get the above errors.

1. Install Joomla 1.7
2. Install JomSocial (before JA Social mind you)
3.. Install JA Social Template and all plugins, modules, etc manually
3. JomSocial and JA Social work!

This is great and all, but I can’t get the sample data from the JA Social quickstart package when I install this way which would be a very helpful headstart in getting my site laid out. Also, I imagine I missing something very important on my install and I want to be sure my site is running properly.

I double checked that I installed JomSocial correctly via their documentation, I changed all of my PHP.ini settings to reflect larger files upload, memory, etc (likely an unnecessary step as JomSocial in my second example works fine). I followed the JA Social guide to a T.

So the problem only happens when I try to install JomSocial after I have loaded JA Social…it must be a file conflict or something, but that would surprise me as I am sure Joomlart developers designed it to be installed this way.

A possibly related question, in the JomSocial installation instructions it mentions that you need to have the “components/com_community” file not in use by any other component, yet when you install JA Social via the quickstart this folder exists…? does this conflict with the JomSocial installation? When I install this way I get the following errors, when I remove the “com_community” folder before installing JomSocial I do not get these errors, but it still will not load as stated above.

Anyhow I am at a loss…I have installed this 8 times now checking and double checking settings with no luck.

Does anyone have any advice? Much appreciated! 🙂

I figured out my issue, highlighted in red above…my stupid fault for not checking compatibility…JA Social is not yet compatible with JomSocial 2.4, once I reverted to JomSocial 2.2.4 it worked fine.

It would be sweet to have an update to JS 2.4 though! Lot’s of new features there I’m sure us JA Social users are itching to have!!!!

PS if you are new to JomSocial and you can only access download to 2.4 here is how you get 2.2.4.

Navigate to the backend download page in JomSocial, instead of clicking download link, right click, copy + paste into browser. You’re link will have this at the end “=latest” replace it with “=2.2.4” hit enter and you will begin downloading 2.2.4
