Quick Update - I had installed 2 K2 plugins initially and once I disabled them, I can now create categories and the 500 error no longer occurs.

The plugins you ask?

CSS4K2 - 1) onecssperk2template_v127.zip & 2) plugin_k2_css4k2_1.8.1.zip

*Update* -

Upon creating my first category - I did receive this error message on the Categories page -

I also encount 500 problem after fresh install of 2.6.7, when I turn off cache at Global Configuration, the problem is clear, maybe it will be useful for you.

@cegi

The error you are getting can be caused by a lot of things. In order to resolve it try:

1. Update your Joomla! installation.
2. Ensure that your server setup allows you to upload files. For example try to install an other extension and see if you get any error.
3. Check your folders permissions. Use a tool like admin tools to fix all the folder permissions.
4. Try to download again the zip file of K2, just in case the one you have is corrupted.

We have tested it multiple 2.5.14 sites. It running smoothly. Make sure your other K2 plugins (like CSS4K2 or Disquss comments for K2 as an example) are compatible with v 2.6.7.

If you are having 500 issues after clearnig your cache and using Joomla!'s latest version try disabling any K2 plugins one by one.

i`ve change a joomla template and update joomla to 2.5.14 and i can update K2 to 2.6.6 but on version 2.6.7 it still has this strange 500 error...

Make sure ALL K2 plugins are at their latest versions. This means apart from K2 additional plugins which are not developed or maintained by us.

There can be user plugins (a component which offers K2 integration) related content plugins, css & templating plugins and even templating frameworks. We are running 2.6.7 (and updated from 2.6.6 to .7) on multiple production sites with no hassle.

Apart from what Lefteris said see if you are using the plugins Rob Rosko mentioned.

I have the same error here.

Though i updated my test site from 2.6.6 succesffully, the production updated failed.
I'm getting the 500 error.
I'm running Joomla! 2.5.14

It's clearly a k2 bug, as I have been using k2 for some years now and never had this error before.

I had to downgrade to 2.6.6 (I just installed 2.6.6 over 2.6.7 - hope this is ok) to make my site functional again. Anyone have tried to fix this?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I quote myself as in my case the fault is with jv-postmaster plugin. If I disable it, everything works fine.
So it is not a K2 problem.

Thanks nektarie,

I am sure this info will help a lot of people.

I have the same problem getting a error 500 when trying to add new K2 item.

Debugging:
500 - An error has occurred.

XML file did not load

I read all of the posts here and thought I would go through my plugins to see if any where causing the problem. I disabled the K2 plugins one by one and found one to be the cause for me. I found K2 Plugin - One css per K2 template to be the problem. By disabling this plugin I can now add k2 items.

Had similar errors - coulldn't create category or item - switched off RokSprocket and Rok Common plug-in, and it solved the problem.

Yeah...I had the same problem. "XML file did not load" error

I solved it by disabling an older K2 plugin:

K2 - Republish This Article v2.5.0

It appears that plugin has not been updated to stay current with K2 and caused some kind of conflict.

Whew...only wasted an hour on this problem.

Im also getting 500 error while saving k2 item after updating 2.6.7..


anyone help me to downgrade the version...

If you are using Joomla! 3.2.x please install the 2.6.8 Dev build version.
getk2.org/assets/get/

For older versions please visit: code.google.com/p/getk2/downloads/list

for exact problem just go to Extension -> plugin manager type in search box "k2" ane disable all the plugin except bellow
Josetta - K2 Categories
Josetta - K2 Items
Search - K2
System - K2
User - K2
now its working perfectly for me.
and if you still want that plugin to enable then you must have to change some code in other file if need more help related code change then tell me
thanks.....
