Hi,

i am trying to install the kunena extension 1.5.14 for my website currently i am carrying out the changes on workstation. While doing so i get an error message "Call to a member function getAttribute() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla_development\hmp\administrator\components\com_kunena\lib\fx.upgrade.class.php on line 255"

I have made the changes required to install the extensions in php.ini file,

php memory_limit >= 64M
safe_mode = off

I have a
Joomla Version => 1.5.17
PHP Version => 5.2.9
Mysql Version => 5.0.45.

i tried searchig in forum for related posts, but guess none of the answer were satisfactiory. Can any body help on this.

Thanks in advance..!

Hello,

Are-you doing a fresh install or an upgrade ?

See also Support for PC-hosted websites (e.g. WAMP, XAMPP)

@ xillibit
I am doing a fresh installation.

@ sozzled
I did read the article posted by you. But i am using a windows XP service pack 2 which is 32 bit. And i don't see any web server configurations settings causing this error.

I need to test it by myself, but i don't have had the time yet to do it

I'm like you, xillibit. I have a Windows XP system around the house - it's turned off 99% of the time - and I might have XAMPP still installed on it and it might be worth seeing if there are problems involved with using XAMPP and K 1.5.14 but, like you, I don't have much time for this either.

The main point we're making in the article Support for PC-hosted websites (e.g. WAMP, XAMPP) is really this: we can't guarantee any support for setting up XAMPP on people's PCs; that's something that people have to do for themselves. There is some "support" for XAMPP on the internet but most of the information is generalised. XAMPP has its place, when people want to experiment with ideas, but it's not a substitute for proving the viability of a website under genuine operational conditions. And that's really all that we can say about XAMPP. Sorry.
