Invalid manifest - No content returned

[neilj99]

Hi,

I'm using Joomla 1.5.15 with the latest version of Google Gears for Firefox installed.

Whenever I click Update Gears in the Joomla backend, I get a pop-up error with the line "Local storage status: Error: Invalid manifest - No content returned"

I can't seem to remedy this error with a clean reinstall of Gears, cleaning the system cache etc.

Any ideas?

Neil

 		$this->JVersion = $JVersion->RELEASE . '.' . $JVersion->DEV_LEVEL;

After that Update Status is: Local storage status: Update completed.

Thanks woodzu123 worked a treat, DM.

Can you tell me what file you edited and what lines?

[woodzu123]

1. Go to plugins/system/GoogleGears/ in your Joomla dir,
2. look for file: gears-manifest.php
3. and after line 78 add:

Code: Select all

define ( 'JPATH_BASE', JPATH_ROOT );

as shown above

Did you share this with the plugin developer? Phil has a note about it, but it's in reference to people using PHP4 (which you can easily see by checking the system info part of the Joomla backend), not a code correction. I get this same problem on several sites now using PHP5 where the plugin used to work, so it must be due to a change in Gears.

Perfect fix, thanks!

I was aware of this - and fixed it ages ago :-)
