Question Uncaught Exception: Another menu item has the same alias in Root. Root is the top level parent

This might be a noob question but I'm not sure what root name this is trying to overwrite.



Running
Jommla 1.6

mysql 5.0

Hello,

Joomla! 1.6.1 is highly recommended, so please upgrade to this version before installing k1.6.3

G'day, Drewmanfu, and welcome to Kunena.

Please read K 1.6 Technical Requirements . While Joomla 1.6.1 is an excellent piece of software (and it's a much better version than J! 1.6.0), J 1.6.1 still has some teething problems.

K 1.6.3 - the current version of Kunena - is not yet fully compatible with Joomla 1.6.x and may be 100% reliable on J! 1.6 until J! 1.6 reaches a level of stability and maturity as basis for building a reliable website. K 1.6.4 will soon be released and will, we expect, overcome many of the problems that users of Kunena and J! 1.6 currently have.

Hello everyone,

I start to install KUNENA 1.6.3 on Joomla 1.6.
During the installation the system gives me the following error:
"500 - There was an error.
Another menu item has the alias in the Same Root. The Root is the root level
Go to Control Panel ".

Returning to the Kunena control panel seems that the installation is successful (all OK) but I am going to management component has the function of items without translation (eg COM_KUNENA_CP, COM_KUNENA_C_FBCONFIG, COM_KUNENA_C_FORUM, COM_KUNENA_C_USER, etc).

Also I can't see the forum is associated with a new menu item or using the menu item that I created during installation.

I do not know how to solve.

J! 1.6 problem: answer here

Oooops Sorry !

Hello,

Delete manually all kunena menu everywhere and re-create them by using the function in the Kunena configuration panel

This worked to allow me access to the forums but I still can't use the configuration tools or the template manager. It simply takes me back to the installation (which failed because: Uncaught Exception: Another menu item has the same alias in Root. Root is the top level parent) and I"m back to square one.

Any other suggestions? I really wish now I had never upgraded. It worked like a charm at the older versions. Now J 1.6 and Kunena don't seem to play nicely together.

thanks for any help,

Satchi

G'day, Satchi, and welcome to Kunena.

K 1.6.4 and J 1.6.3 work. There are some issues that remain with J! 1.6 that affect many Joomla extensions and prevent many extensions from being able to fully take advantage of everything that J! 1.6 was intended to offer. Kunena is affected by these by these deficiencies of Joomla to a slightly greater extent than other Joomla extensions are affected simply because Kunena is a very complex piece of software.

What was it you upgraded and what was the version you upgraded from. Are we discussing an upgrade of Joomla or an upgrade of Kunena? What, specifically, "worked like a charm" in some older version(s).

I'm sorry but this topic may not be able to help you. Maybe you should start a new topic for each of the specific problems that you seem to be having.
