Thanks a lot Sir for the contribution. I'll still hope that somebody on the Forum would propose a further Solution. Can anybody out there help me ?
Two solutions, the slow way where you do the work and the quick way where we do the work:
SLOW)
This is probably happening, as Joomla Update requires one of "allow_url_fopen" or "cURL" to be enabled in your PHP settings:
- Admin -> Site -> System Information -> PHP Information -> Core -> allow_url_fopen = OFF
- this means you need cURL to update and your's is probably enabled
- However if you DON'T have Admin -> Site -> System Information -> PHP Settings -> Open basedir = NONE
- or
Admin -> Site -> System Information -> PHP Settings -> Safe Mode = OFF then "cURL" won't work
From the
Security Checklist/Hosting and Server Setup
Use allow_url_fopen
This option enables the URL-aware fopen wrappers that enable accessing URL object like files. Default wrappers are provided for the access of remote files using the ftp or http protocol, some extensions like zlib may register additional wrappers. Note: This can only be set in php.ini due to security reasons. Enable and use allow_url_fopen to allow Joomla's One-Click-Update to work properly.
For more information see: PHP Manual: allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include
Proper setup will have this: |
allow_url_fopen = 1
allow_url_include = 0 |
PHP default: allow_url_fopen is enabled
PHP default: allow_url_include is disabled |
If allow_url_fopen isn't allowed then use Joomla's "Install from Directory" option.
This option requires that you unpack the archive file in a directory on your server. This is the best method if you have a slow internet connection or you are experiencing timeouts during the update process.
- Unpack the archive file in a temporary directory on your local machine.
- Upload all the files in this directory (for example, using FTP) to a temporary directory that is visible to the web server. For example, you can create a sub-directory under the tmp directory in your Joomla root. For this example, let's say the directory on the server is home/myuser/myjoomla/tmp/upgrade250).
- In the Extension Manager: Install screen, enter the full path of the temporary directory (on the server) from step 2 (for example, /home/myuser/myjoomla/tmp/upgrade250).
- Press the Install button.
The system will work for a short time (perhaps a minute or less, depending on your server). Then a message indicating a successful installation will display.
