i'm trying to install a magento extension in magento 1.8.1 community edition, but magento connect hangs at installing extension. the package is downloaded into the app/code folder, but doesn't appear to go any further. no error log entries created (there's an existing system.log, but no exception.log).
i've reset permissions per: http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/227/resetting_file_permissions
then i tried too install manually with "./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community [name_of_module]"
but downloader/lib/Mage/Connect/Command/Install.php on line 71-73 sets up $config->magento_root=dirname(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])); but the value seems to be blank (I'm guessing magento connect configures that somewhere)
how can i get either magento connect to work, or alternatively manually install the extension?
First, generate the download link for the extension using http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php
In order to obtain a download link, you have to generate a valid extension key in Magento Connect.
After manually downloading the extension, just unzip its content into Magento's app directory
Clean the cache and reload magento's main page, the extension should appear in administration under System->Configuration->Advanced
Hope this helps
Bye

I currently finished writing a payment plugin for opencart. I uploaded it using filezilla to an online opencart site, tested it and it worked perfectly.
After which i tried installing the same plugin using the extensions installer from admin, setup my ftp and i got a "installed successfully" message.
The problem is i can't find the extension under payment extensions in the opencart site. As in, it is completely missing but it definitely has to be somewhere since it installed successfully
NOTE
The previously installed plugin through filezilla cannot be possibly crashing with the new one because i removed that one completely.
I setup my FTP perfectly.
I zipped the upload folder, saved it with upload.ocmod.zip before uploading it.
How do i find the missing extension and if i'm installing it the wrong way, what is right way to go about the it.
In OpenCart 2.3, all extensions are listed in the Extensions > Extensions area. You then have to choose which extensions you want to filter on (e.g. Shipping extensions).
Which Opencart version you are using?
I tried to install Magento 2 on localhost using WAMP (php5.5, APACHE2.4.9 and MySQL5.6).
I added the required extension "intl" (by removing (;) in php.ini), but for some reason it didn't work - I had to copy the dll into the Apache bin folder.
I updated xdebug and had to create in php.ini an entry for xdebug.max_nesting_level = 50000;.
After all this I went to do the second phase of installation (database creation, etc...) and at the end it was successful. But upon trying to enter the Backend admin page, I get the error Page Not Found, and the Frontend was broken (no style).
So I installed the version with sample-date and the same thing happened, the only difference was the existence of the photos. I installed using the composer, and got the same error.
I think I did something wrong with the WAMP installation, but I'm not sure.
Another issue I encountered was on the themes in the installation with setup wizard: the app / design / frontend / magento folders are empty, while the github repository has two themes - why is that?
For broken styles and JS, please run php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy. You might want to provide your specific language code as input; default is en_US
Re empty theme folder, there are several methods to deploy and install, based on your needs. The github version is meant for contributing devs, and hence there are themes present in the app/design/ folder. However, if you deployed via composer, or downloaded the zip file from magento.com, the app/design folder will be empty, since the themes are loaded via composer, from the vendor/magento folder.
I am trying to install the following extension via Magento Connect 2.0
Creativestyle_CheckoutByAmazon
My issue is that I need to uninstall this extension first as it already exists (seems to be partially broken so I want to reinstall it) - what is the best method for uninstalling extensions in Magento, is there a simple option for this in Magento Admin?
For some reason I have logged into my Magento Connect but cannot see any of my installed modules - see link below..

Whatever module you have installed, will be having its module file in app/etc/modules folder.
You can set false in <active>false</active> tags in the repective xml file. Also, you can extract the module's zip and replaced all the old ones with the new default files.
I have a Joomla site running on a windows machine. The site was at 1.6 when some update requests came in. I decided to update the site, but the automated process didn't work, so I started FTPing the files up there manually.
I followed the instructions for the manual upgrade at http://docs.joomla.org/Upgrading_1.6.5_to_1.7 once I got the site to 1.6.5, but my problems had already started before that.
Now when I go to mysite.com/administrator most images are not there and when I try to log in I get kicked up to my site root rather than the /administrator folder. I took the opportunity to look at the code and none of the image src attributes or the form action attributes include "/administrator".
Soooo I need a little advice as to why this is happening. I would rather not have to restore from my backup and start over at 1.6. I was kinda hoping for this to be my first Joomla 3 site. Thanks in advance.
You said that you had trouble with updating Joomla via the admin panel, however did you check if the folders were writable? Site -> System Information -> Directory Permissions Always check this page once you have installed Joomla as it is the reason why a lot of people are unable to install updates or normal extensions.
You then mentioned that you had to upload the files manually via the FTP, however this is not requires. All that is required it to upload the update.zip to the foot of your Joomla site and unzip it.
As for a proper answer, May I suggest that you first update to the Latest version of the 1.6 series (1.6.6), then you download a fresh copy of Joomla 1.6.6, unzip the "administrator" folder, zip that folder, upload via the FTP to your Joomla root folder, then extract it. This will override all the default administrator files.
In the end I had this client move their Joomla install off Windows and onto a Linux machine. Things were just getting worse with the install and I threw in the towel. Thanks to Lodder for trying to help.
This can happen if you are using the JSecure plugin. It requires a token in the URL to enter the admin panel, for example:
http://www.yoursite.com/administrator?token

I was able to fix this by removing the value that I had in the $live_site variable in the configuration.php file. I am also running this on a Windows server.
I have developed a widget and now I want the clients to install it using Magento Connect Manager. How can I do this?
Magento connect is used to download and install free, community modules. If your module fits the bill, please continue.
First, you need to make sure that your widget is setup as an extension. That means that your code should be in a folder in app/code/local (though template files and such will clearly be in other places).
Once you've done that, take a look here for some detailed instructions on how to package your extension. Basically, you're going to select all the files that go with that extension and bundle them into a big blob.
Then, on the Magento website, you'll upload that file bundle to be placed on Magento Connect, where your clients can download and install it like any other community module.
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
