Problems uninstalling SEO Boss extension in Joomla 2.5 - joomla

I have created a website named www.connectedipvoice.com and installed SEO Boss extension. Somehow it was not working so I tried to remove it using my administrator mode from my website but it shows a message:
JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/content/54/9492054/html/components/com_seoboss
Component Uninstall: Can't uninstall. Please remove manually
Then I tried to uninstall directly from server but it's not showing there too. My problem is when I try to install it again - it's showing me that the file is already installed and when I checked in the extension area >
manage catagory I found that SEO Boss extension is still there. But now I'm unable to get the options to remove it - the status column becomes blank!

To properly uninstall it (so you can install it again) you need to also remove the component reference inside the table called #__extensions
Search the element field for anything containing "com_seoboss" and delete it.
Then you should be able to install it again.

You should also look for this and delete it - /home/content/54/9492054/html/administrator/components/com_seoboss

I am not too sure what you mean by 'i tried to uninstall directly from the server'.
Anyway, I have had a similar issue to you when I was trying to uninstall virtuemart from a website. What worked for me was to:
manually delete all the component folders (using an FTP client like Filezilla )
manually delete all component tables from the database (using phpMyAdmin)
If you try this solution, make sure you backup your database first.
Hope this helps.

Opencart 2 caching

Has opencart 2.1 a cache system apart from modification?
I'm trying to restyle an opencart 2.1 site.
I've modified catalog/view/theme/my-theme/template/product/product.tpl
but I'm not able to see my updates.
The site has only 1 modification that affects Admin area...I've also tried to disable it and update cache, but without success.
I've tried to open site in another browser, but nothing.
Finally I've tried to rename product.tpl to product111.tpl (also in view/theme/default/product)... but the original product page is still loaded.
Does someone know why this happens?
UPDATE : I haven't found a solution, so I made a fresh installation, applied custom theme and then copied modified files... everything is Ok now. If I modify product.tpl, all changes are visible in product page.
If you have vQmod installed there is a vqcache also.
You can check to see if you have vQmod installed like this:
yoursite.com/vqmod/install
It should usually clear itself, but if it doesn't then you can safely rename the vqcache folder to clear it.
The reason I say rename rather than delete is that sometimes a change to the cache will show an error which wasn't spotted when the original change was made and might prevent orders until it's fixed. If you rename then you can place the folder back and it will work again but of course you should fix the error when you can.

How do I delete joomla template?

I installed a new template for my joomla site but after that I have no access template manager. It only becomes a completely white page in Firefox and Opera says that "currently unable to handle the request." Is there any way to delete a template outside of the webadmin interface?
You can delete through your ftp client like filezilla. Open filezilla, login to your server and the delete the template. May be the template comes with some plugins or else how can just by installing it started showing error unless you use that template. Possibility is: i) You might have installed a template for older version. ii) You might have installed a plugin with the template that was autopublished. iii) You messed up some setting files.
I suggest you to open file manager, go to templates and then delete that particular template. Also when asking please ask providing all details like name of template, link of template etc.

magento connect manager shows extension is installed but actually its not

I have installed an extension , On installing it magento shows its progress in terminal properly ...
But in actually it is not installed .
Neither the extension list includes its name.
For every extension the same problem exists .
please suggest me what may have gone wrong .
You have cleaned cache from system->cache management right? Also some extensions require you to logout and login in backend otherwise they give you 404 page.
Also try to look in system->configuration->advanced->disable module output. You can see all installed extension on your installation.
Edit: also try to see in app/etc/modules if there is an xml with extension's name, and if in app/code/local or app/code/community there is a folder with all files. If there are not any, maybe it's a problem with permissions.
Try to see section "Permissions not correct/insufficient" in http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/1_-_installation_and_configuration/installing_magento_via_shell_ssh

magento theme install

I have a rather simple question.
I want to install a new magento theme. In the documentation it says to overwrite the default 'app' and 'skin' folders with the theme's 'app' and 'skin' folders.
"8. Upload the "app" and "skin" folders from the template themeXX folder to your Magento root
folder (accept the replacement)"
However, when I am doing that, it prompts me to download magento again thru the magento installation wizard.
To me, it sounds more reasonable to just copy the contents of the 'app' and 'skin' folders of the new theme into the default 'app' and 'skin' folders of the magento framework as they contain some other folders that probably should remain intact.
Any suggestions please?
Did you first install the default Magento in the folder where you want to run it? You will need a running installation of Magento before you can go ahead and install a team.
If it keeps promting you check that you're on the right address in the address bar of your browser. To install magento you would have been redirected to [magento]/downloader/
As a last resort you could open up index.php and remove the code redirecting you the downloader folder, but at this point you might be better off re-installing Magento (remove everything in the directory and follow the install steps again) since something probably went wrong.
After you've installed Magento check if you see the default store interface and can access the admin areas before installing anything else (including a theme)!
There's absolutely no need to overwrite the app and skin folders. In fact, if you do so, you could easily overwrite just about all of Magento's functionality and break your system.
That would be why you're getting a new installation prompt.
What's the theme you are installing, and what's the link to the page where they give that information?
Generally a theme will be packaged will a folder structure that looks like this:
theme_package
theme_package/app
theme_package/app/code
theme_package/app/code/local
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/Block
theme_package/app/code/local/Namespace/Themename/etc
theme_package/app/design
theme_package/app/design/frontend
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/layout
theme_package/app/design/frontend/base/themename/template
theme_package/skin
theme_package/skin/css
theme_package/skin/js
and so on.
This content needs to be merged as you said.
Many of these folders already exist, for instance app/code/, app/design/frontend/base/, skin/css/, skin/js/
Just copy any new files or folders.
#george i know it's been a while since anything has been said on here, but i just want people to know for future reference that you only have to add to the app/design/frontend/default/[theme name] and skin/frontend/default/[theme name] folders like sg3s stated. i lost about 4 hours to this tonight b/c i bought a theme and they didn't specify that you only need to add to the folders not overwrite them.

Joomla com_extplorer keep reloading page

I'm used to install extplorer in every joomla project, always everthing going well.
This time at the extplorer launch time its keep loading the web page in loop mode( tried to change permissions in administrator/components , triade to let Aruba install joomla) nothing worked.
Any suggestion ?
Do you have the Admintools extension installed and a custom .htaccess file?
If yes, open AdminTools and htaccess maker.
Under Server Protection>Exceptions>Allow direct access to these files
Add the following line:
administrator/components/com_extplorer/fetchscript.php
to the list of allowed files and regenerate your .htaccess.
