Re: update joomla 3.8.1 error
i installed joomla update automayically from update section and not from extention installer
I updated from 3.7.2 to 3.8.1 without error and successfull
The only issue is that after update I cannot install or update extentions, the website works on the frontend.

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
It sounds like your site still has something that should not be there.gsajoomi wrote:via extention installer i Can't install anything
These world writable folders have been a security issue and you should remove those folders but also clean your site fully because it may have some back doors installed by hackers.Elevated Permissions (First 10) :: images/swmenufree/ (757) | images/swmenufree/arrows/ (757) | images/swmenufree/textures/ (757) | images/swmenufree/transmenu/ (757) |
You must have uninstalled the extension that created those folders because it is not listed by the FPA. According to the website of the developer, "Versions of swMenuFree prior to 8.5 may have a vulnerability with the chmoding of some folders."
Go to the 3.x Security forum and read the instructions in the sticky posts and follow best practice:

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
I don't use swmenufree anymore .i unistalled this extention many year ago i think this extention is from j2.5.
thanks for your advice i deleted all swmenu folders
i am not sure that my site hacked .my site worked properly until i udated 3.7.2 to 3.8.1
i updated my site many times in the past .and nothing happened .and i use my site for about 6 years from joomla 1.6 to present

I installed a new fresh joomla 3.8.1 full packege in a subfolder with new database and checked again i have same problem with new joomla 3.8.1 !!
joomla installed flawlessly but xtention installer don't work for me !
Error: unable to find install package
Is this unrecommended option (Native Zip Support Off) an incompatibility between versions of Joomla 3.8.1 and php7.
Thx in advance.

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
Outside of Joomla, open configuration.php in a text editor. Edit the following line:.=
.
Change "0" to "1". Go back to the installer and refresh the page and see if that gzip setting "Off" changes to "On".
(actually not sure these two things are related - native zip support and Gzip - so setting it to 1 may not make a difference, so above is a bit of guess-work).
This thread may provide some answers re: native zip support:

(the post is 5 years old (2012), but there is a recent post there from August 2017). I assume the advice contained in it is still relevant today.
Code: Select all
public $gzip = '0';

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
Ownership is OK because Global config can save when configuration.php is 444
/tmp is OK because the Joomla update component can upload and install.
So what's left that can prevent Joomla from finding the file ?
When you attempt to install an extension ... is it unzipped to a folder in /tmp ? If not then perhaps the way Joomla installs extensions has changed and gzip not being on the server is significant ?
btw changing the gzip setting in global configuration/configuration.php does not change the server. It just uses the gzip compression (if installed on the server) when rendering to the browser. The gzip showing as 'No' in System Settings means it's not installed on the server.
/tmp is OK because the Joomla update component can upload and install.

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
That will make no difference to the System info showing 'No' to gzip because altering Joomla's gzip setting does not install/uninstall gzip on the server,gsajoomi wrote:But gzip in my settings have already been turned on .in configure.php file gzip is 1 ...
[quote="gsajoomi"...
i chenged to 0 but my problem not solved[/quote]No because that only tells Joomla to use (1) or not use (0) gzip to render the pages to the browser (if gzip is installed on the server).
I don't think gzip has any affect on the extension install but you could ask your Host to enable it.

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
OK ... so Extension installer is not unzipping the .zip file in /tmp
Is it uploading the file to /tmp ? (if we can pin down the part of the Extension installer we can get the devs to look at what's happening).
Perhaps try increasing Max. Input Time: 60 to 300 ?
Do you have any firewalls etc. on the server ?

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
OK ... so something in Extensions Update has changed and now the server won't allow it to upload. Anything in the firewall logs that could lend a clue ?

Exactly .i agree and i think the same way.Webdongle wrote:OK ... so something in Extensions Update has changed and now the server won't allow it to upload. Anything in the firewall logs that could lend a clue ?
i think joomla 3.8x extention installer system has changed and different from 3.7x versions.
In my host joomla 3.8x extention installer system don't work and still i don't know why this problem happened.

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
Either
Something on your server is not correct and 'tighter' coding in Joomla has shown this up
Or
Something is a miss with Joomla's coding and certain servers are picking up on it.
Have asked in the devs mailing list ... waiting for a reply from them. In the mean time can you check see if the firewall is blocking Extensions >>> Install from uploading the file ?

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
Maybe setting error reporting to 'maximum' in configuration.php can produce some useful leads to where things are going wrong?

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
I have installed J3.2.7 on localhost (wamp) and updated. Unable to reproduce the error.gsajoomi wrote:...

Question remains what is different about your server/Joomla setup that causes the error when other systems it works ?
Can you try a different php version ?

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1

Re: unable to find installation package xml error after update to joomla 3.8.1
It is
either
Server configuration
or
Something in Joomla
As you have ruled out
PHP version
and
Firewall/Permissions
As other successful updates and J3.8.1 work with different php versions on various servers
then
What's left ?
3rd party extension/Template conflicting ?
Set Protostar as default Template and disable 3rd party extensions (Extensions >>> Manage >>> manage ... order ID descending puts 3rd party extensions at the top)

This is not the right solution to this problem3rd party extension/Template conflicting ?
Set Protostar as default Template and disable 3rd party extensions (Extensions >>> Manage >>> manage ... order ID descending puts 3rd party extensions at the top)
Because i installed j3.8.1 full fresh copy without any 3rd party extentions and with default settings but installer issues arrised .
I need to find another solution to this problem
