Trouble installing Joomla 2.5 "Package"

Post by faithworks » Fri Jul 25, 2014 7:11 pm

Hi, I've had trouble migrating to Joomla 3.x so I'm uninstalling as much as I can in my current Joomla 2.5 installation.

There is one file that won't uninstall in the Extension Manager:

Code: Select all

bo:VideoJS - Package 	Site 		Package 	1.0.0 	Juni 2012 	Alfred Bösch 	N/A 	10010 
The plugin appears to be uninstalled, so what is this "Package" thing? I don't see any bo:VideoJs files in the website directories for plugins or language/en-GB/. I also went into the PHP myAdmin and couldn't find anything in their for bo:Video either.

Any ideas on how I can get this completely gone?
Thanks!

No luck so far... the developer is helping out with the original 1.0.0 plugin and module, but I still have this "package" that won't uninstall. Here's the error I'm getting:

Code: Select all

Failed loading XML file
/mywebsite.com/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_bo_videojs.xml
XML: failed to load external entity "/mywebsite.com/administrator/manifests/packages/pkg_bo_videojs.xml"
Package Uninstall: Missing manifest file
I guess it's a no-brainer, but sure enough, there is no xml files in the administrator/manifests/packages folder.

Think I got it. :laugh: I used this thread and did a wildcard search for "bo:Video" in my phpMyAdmin table. I found one instance and deleted the extension!
