Joomla! Discussion Forums

I installed then ew Joomla upgrade from versions 1.0.5 to version 1.0.8

i thought it was all perfect but realised today that I have a pretty big problem

I wanted to add a new menu option but when I go toe the Menu>New

I get prompted with a download of index2.php, no way of opening with the browser

is this just me or are others having the same problem too?

I also get the same problem when going on the component installer

I have tried many others but the oens I haev tried are working fine besides these two

Any help is greatly aprpeciated

Regards

I am getting this aswell on joscommunity.

I haven't got a clue whats going on. Anyone know?

i have solved the problem,

The component installer page for joscommunity needs more than 8M memory because of all the components installed.

My host has a memory_limit of 8M set in the php.ini file .  I am on shared hosting so cant change the ini file.  I have found a small work around though.

in the file: administrator/components/com_installer/component/component.php, enter the following code:

ini_set("memory_limit", "16M"); at line 23, just before the require_once function.

I dont know if this will also fix the main menu problem.  I havent had it.  I would advise using the same code in the relevant filefor the create menu function.

hope this helps you aswell dehydratedchicken

hi, sorry but this didnt really help me? I've tried puttign the code in but get the same problem

its really frustrating as I've got a bit of content to add to the site aswell as new components i want to try out

I guess I'll be waiting for Joomla 1.0.9 or Joomla 1.1

Might downgrade to 1.0.5 as that seemed fine for me, the rpoblems came after upgrading

Thanks anyway, but if you still ahve any suggestions feel free to post

Regards
