When there is a folder permission i think all zip files have the same problems but only site.zip is the problem and install RC1 works without errors! I dont think that RC1 needs other permission!

ALL FOLDERS HAVE THE SAME PERMISSION! 755!

I had the same problem. I connect via FTP and deleted the content of the "/XXXXXXXXXX/administrator/components/com_kunena/archive/" then retry to upgrade and it works. I try to simulate it again but it does not work at first time. Then delete again the content of the ..../archive folder and it works!

Hope this can help,

Take Care;)

that would make sense alsvieira, thanks for that can you try that solution templateroyal and let us know if it works for you too..

MMHH I think that is not the solution!

I have the same failed error when i delete the .zip files in the archive folder. But when i delete the Archive folder and press RETRY the i have this messages:

Prepare Installation ... OK
Installing System - Kunena plug-in ... OK
Migrate attachments (migrated 0, missing: 2, failed: 0) ... OK
Installation completed successfully. ... OK

But i dont think that the site.zip files are unzip. What is the meaning of: Migrate attachments (migrated 0, missing: 2, failed: 0) ... OK

--------------------------

Now i upload all .zip folders via FTP

site.zip -> unzip -> components/com_kunena/
media.zip -> unzip -> media/kunena/
admin.zip -> unzip -> components/com_kunena/


--------------------------

Im testing the forum now!

you got the message attachment error because your attachemnt had already been migrated that is an error i got myself and told that its fine and can just be ignored..

OK my forum works fine without errors. But the upgrade function dont work without the site.zip error.

I do this and my forum is up to date:

1) Download RC2

2) Install via Joomla installer

3) Press UPGRADE

4) After Error messages:

you must delete via FTP the 3 .zip files (admin, site & media) in /administrator/components/com_kunena/archive/

5) Then press the RETRY Button and you get this Messages:


7) Now got to your Download Packet and unzip com_kunena_v1.6.0-RC2_b3373_2010-08-31

8) Go to Folder ARCHIVE and unzip the admin, media & site zip in three folders

9) Open your FTP Program and upload:

site.zip -> unzip -> components/com_kunena/
media.zip -> unzip -> media/kunena/
admin.zip -> unzip -> components/com_kunena/

10) Go to Backend -> Components -> Kunena -> and check your Version: You are using the latest version of Kunena 1.6.0-RC2

Have Fun with Kunena!

I have problem to. I uninstall RC1 and try to install RC2. I have error

@ templatesROYAL:

Good instructions. But you need to do it in slightly different way to make sure it works.

After getting error message you need to unzip site.zip, media.zip and admin.zip. Then delete those from administrator/components/com_kunena/archive and continue on installation.

@ Requiem:

Did you have Joomla 1.0 earlier? This issue looks like migration issue, where migrator looses all auto increment fields from the database. And the issue is in Joomla -- before any code in Kunena gets run.
