Hello,

I am trying to upgrade a site I have to the latest version of K2 2.6.0

I am currently using:
K2 2.5.7
Joomla 2.5.7
PHP 5.3

I tried two methods of updating to the latest version of K2.

Method 01
Extension Manager / Find Updates
I click the update and I receive this error message:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Update path does not exist
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find Joomla XML setup file
Unable to detect manifest file

Updating COM_INSTALLER_TYPE_TYPE_ was successful.

Method 02
Extension Manager / Upload Package File
I tried manually installing the latest K2 zip file over the old one and I received this message:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning: Failed to move file!

Can someone please point me in the right direction please.

Many thanks,
Neil.

Can you install any other component or plugin? I would check my temp path, and test installing a different component of plugin to test your configuration first

Hi William,

Thank you for your help but I don't think that can be the issue. I have a 'base' template that I start all of my web designs with. I am also a reseller of hosting so I create the hosting accounts for my clients.

I have 4 sites which I have upgraded to the latest version of K2.

One site is okay with no issues

Second site gave me this warning: Model class cpanelModelCpanel not found in file.
More on this here: Link

And the third and fourth site had the issues mentioned in my first post. I have never had any of these issues using previous versions of K2 or for any other Joomla installation - this is why I know it has something to do with the latest version of installing K2. That is the only component which is different to all of the other sites I create.

In addition to the above issues I am now also getting problems using the media manager:

Invlaid backend response.
Data is not JSON


I love K2 and wish it was part of Joomla because that's how I think Joomla should roll. But for the moment I will stick with the previous version of K2 until some of these little bugs have been fixed. Thank you for your help.

Best wishes,
Neil.

As tweeted today, there will be a 2.6.1 version which is already in the svn that fixes many of the issues, keep watch on the site or test the svn

Hi William,

Thank you very much for the info. I'll keep an checkout the svn. Many thanks for your help.

Neil.
