Hi All,
I have a strange problem - my joomla reports me that is a update ready from my 2.6.0 to 2.6.7 ??
So i install it but whe i try to add new article it show me a blank page with 500 error.

Can you tell me what it is a problem ?
Thanks

Hello cegi,

You have to turn on error reporting to see what the actual error is.

hello.
I'd have to install the new version and it causes an error 500 - so I do not want to do that, because the instability of the new K2.

and the error is - error 500 and link "back to main ..."

The 500 is a very general error code, it is impossible to guess the actual error and the file causing it without a description. It could be a dozen things, wrong PHP version, a third party component, your template just to name a few.

Same here. Updated my k2 2.6.6 site to 2.6.7 as it notified me there was a update. Gives the 500 error when trying to add or edit a article. Had to downgrade back to 2.6.6.

Clicking "Add New Item" or trying to edit a item gives the following error page with debug on.

500 - An error has occurred.

XML file did not load

Return to Control Panel

Call stack
# Function Location
1 JAdministrator->dispatch() /public_html/administrator/index.php:46
2 JError::raiseError() /public_html/administrator/includes/application.php:164
3 JError::raise() /public_html/libraries/joomla/error/error.php:251

So now you have a answer - i will not install it because it is not a stable version - please check it and re upload a good version.

Thanks:)

If you tried to update K2 on a Joomla! 3.1 site using the Joomla! update manager, you'd get a notice saying "invalid package" or similar to that.

It's fixed now. Make sure you hit "Find updates" again to refresh the K2 update file from our server.

The problem occured because there was no Joomla! 3.1 specific definition in the XML update file on our server - we had update blocks for Joomla! 2.5 and 3.0. All sorted now.

Also make sure you are not trying to upgrade on Joomla! 1.6/1.7 since these versions are not supported

Running Joomla! version, 2.5.11 & K2 v2.6.6

in my 2.5.11 joomla only stable version of K2 is v2.6.0... yesterday i try to instal once again nevest version but when i try to add new article it show me again blank page with info "Error 500" and back to main menu - thats all...

so i instal 2.6.0 and it look that i need to stay with it.....

Try again but not through the update manager, try installing it on top. Get the .zip file from the index page and go to extensions -> Extension Manager -> Install adn upload it.

Since you are using an older version of K2 your overrides will probably need some upgrading as well. (Possibly register and profile.php and the mod_k2_user module)

PS. always backup first.
