Attempting to install Magento Mage_GoogleShopping extension - magento

But all I get from my Connect Manager is the following message:
community/Mage_GoogleShopping: Version for 'Mage_GoogleShopping' was not detected
If I try and use the version 1 extension key all I get is:
Couldn't resolve host 'magento-core'
I am using a mostly fresh install of Magento Community 1.5.0.1 (I say mostly because we do have our own template but it is very basic).
Anyone have any luck installing this extension. GoogleShopping is a huge boon to our hit count and the recent changes to the google products API has really affected our implementation.

this extension is still in alpha stability, you need to change your preference settings ("settings" tab in your magento connect manager) for "preferred state"

OSdave had the right answer ... but the way I fixed the error message was I blew away the download folder on the server and re-copied over from the original Magento install package.
Once I had done that I re-ran the Extension Key in Connect and this time it actually said. "That Extension is in Alpha stage. You'll need to change your preferences to install it."
I did NOT get the error above anymore. At that point everything worked like a charm.

Windows 10 Magento 2.4 zip install on XAMPP has nowhere to agree to terms

I'm trying to get Magento 2.4 running using the production ready zip and I keep getting it to this point where I believe it's ready to start the setup process, but it's waiting for me to agree to the ToS. Unfortunately there's no agree button or instructions on if there's a file I need to edit. I just did a fresh install of XAMPP with PHP 7.4 and still have the same issue, and can't find a similar mention on google.
Is there supposed to be an agree button, do I need to edit a file?
Term & Agreement link leads here, still no agree button. Getting started link takes me to installation instructions for a Linux CLI
I saw I may still need to run the composer install command even on Windows, but I was under the impression the production ready zip already had the dependencies included. Where am I going wrong??
Update: I got composer running in windows terminal and it returns that there is nothing to install.
According to the official site docs, in a note at the top of the installation instructions for a CLI install of Magento 2.3:
"The Web Setup Wizard is being deprecated in Magento 2.3.6 and will be removed in Magento 2.4.0. After it is removed, you must use the command line to install or upgrade Magento."
So you cannot install Magento 2.4 without touching the command line.

Error "ionCube PHP Loader" after using composer. Magento 2 showing error. Please advise

I'm encountering this message:
"Site error: the ionCube PHP Loader needs to be installed. This is a widely used PHP extension for running ionCube protected PHP code, website security, and malware blocking.
Please visit get-loader.ioncube.com for install assistance"
I'm getting this message after using Composer/Magento commands (update, upgrade, compile, and deploy). I'm running a localhost install of Magento 2, which is now showing the following message.
"There has been an error processing your request
Exception printing is disabled by default for security reasons.
Error log record number: 629950493790"
I have looked for other solutions online but these solutions didn't fit. One solution seemed too risky, which was to change the name of my php.ini file to .php.ini (note the dot before). One solution advises to install a version of ionCube with the right PHP version, but since I'm working with PHP 7.0.* I'm not able to find that version of ionCube. I have also looked for the error that matches the error number I was given, but no luck.
I encountered these errors while trying to install a theme. I am new to Magento so I followed a guide that gave me a list of composed commands to go through. I selected the new theme through my admin's Configuration > Design, but noticed the design didn't really push through (cache or compile issue I think? I'm learning, if slowly.) I tried the command "composer update" but got my login credentials wrong.
My environment: Windows, XAMPP, PHP 7.0, Magento 2.2.8
If there are any resources that can help me, please let me know about them, incl. books. I really don't know how to proceed.
C:\xampp\htdocs\magento2> composer update
I want to be able to push the theme's visual changes, and safely and correctly clear the cache and update the files as needed.

How to install CouchDB on Windows

This might seem like a basic question, but let me explain.
I'm currently trying to get CouchDB running on Windows. Usually (from what I can tell watching several YT tutorials) you just go to couchdb.apache.org/download and download the windowsx64 version. Then open it and a install wizard should appear.
However when I download the file I get a file named "fd15d91c1e214c3451bef296564086f6a9266e848d57eaa8ac596e3765939578" which isn't openable and doesn't give me a wizard.
Is the current CouchDB installation corrupted? Am I doing something wrong?
I just tried http://couchdb.apache.org/, chose the Download link from the top navigation bar, then Windows(x64) for version 2.1.0. This kicked-off downloading the file apache-couchdb-2.1.0.msi.
Definitely try another browser or restart your machine.

getting "ERROR: AJAX Loading Error: Forbidden" error when trying to upgrade Joomla version 3.5.1 to 3.6.4

I have tried to upgrade Joomla version from 3.5.1 to 3.6.4 from Joomla control panel by click on "Update Now" button. And got "ERROR: AJAX Loading Error: Forbidden"
Please see the screenshot http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/1107/5217107686.jpg
How can i fix the issue? Thanks advance for helping !
Here is what I would do, make a site backup.
Then manually updated by extracting the update patch package in the root directory. Go to the link below and find the package that is specifically intended for updating from versions prior to 3.6.X
https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla3/3-6-4
Joomla! 3.6.4 Upgrade Package (.zip)
This package is for performing updates from Joomla! 2.5 and previous 3.x releases to 3.6.4
Please let me know if you have any issues with updating in this manner.

SOLVED THE PROBLEM !!!
Here is the total solution of my mentioned issue !! I tried hard to solve the issue in various way but failed.
I fixed my issue once followed this tutorials.
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Upgrading_from_Joomla_3.4.x_to_3.5
Stay fine with Joomla !!!
"Forbidden" seems to indicate that there is a restriction accessing a file.
Some things to try:
temporarily revert to the default .htaccess file by backing up the current .htaccess file and copying htaccess.txt to .htaccess
reset file permissions by installing the free or paid version of Akeeba Admin Tools (if it's not already installed) and run the "Fix Permissions" tool
temporarily disable security extensions or tools that may be restricting access to the update files
In my particular case, it was the last suggestion which was relevant. I worked out how to bypass Sucuri as an administrator by adding an entry in my local hosts file to access
the website via its direct IP address. The update then worked flawlessly.

Red5 demos don't work

I just installed red5 on my server, and the install seems to work fine. As you can see here: http://onelifemedia.com:5080
I got this far by using this walkthrough: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1046590
The /demos page gives me a 404 error. So I logged onto the server, and checked to see if the "demo" directory was already there. It was not.
The applications that I installed were a directory up from the root directory. I'm not sure if this is right or not.
Either way, my end goal is to actually get something working besides the main page. If I can get the demos to work, then hopefully I should be well on my way.
I guess my questions can be broken down like this:
Does anyone know how to get the demos working?
Should I forget about the demos, and try to start writing my own code?
If I should write my own code, how should I go about installing it? Since the installer is not properly installing the demos.
Thanks
The tutorial is good but you dont need the admin app. Use the installer link in the tutorial and install the demo you want to use. The content of the "demos" directory is only the swf files used to access the server demos which you use the installer app to install. For instance , select "oflaDemo" and then from the main page navigate to demos/oflaDemo et voila.
I know I'm biased being a core developer, but we've attempted to make the server as ez as possible to use.
I could install demos from the latest svn trunk, Checkout the source, use ant&ivy to build and run the server and you can install two sample apps(oflaDemo and SOSample).
You may need to use ivy commands resolve some of the common issues during installations.
E:\dev\red5\java\server\trunk>ant ivyclear dist
()Red5 user mailing list may help you, because this is not exactly problem with Red5 source.

I could resolve the issue based on the information in Red5 users mailing list and comments by Mr.Mondain in one of the posts in Stackoverflow
