Question

I am moving a Joomla 1.0 site to a Joomla 1.5 site and installed the Joomla Migration application in the Joomla 1.0 site. It failed, so I uninstalled it. I tried reinstalling and I am getting an error that it still exists. The error reports that com_migrator still exits. Do you have an idea of where I need to look for and remove a line of code so it does not see com_migrator is installed?

Answer

can you post the exact error that comes up to you so i can help you?

 

This is a useful article regarding migration from 1.0 to 1.5

http://www.articlealley.com/article_488655_4.html

 

This is also the forum for the migration topic for joomla this may be useful too

http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=430

 

If you can provide me with the exact error that appears infront of you while trying to re-install i can help you further.

If you can also elaborate on the error that you faced while installing the migration application this would be great

Upload new component - Error
Another component is already using directory: "/DANGEROUS URL REMOVED/httpdocs/components/com_migrator/"

Answer

ok this usually means that the folder of the previous component was not deleted successfully during the un-installation procedure.

 

1. Go to /components and delete the com_migrator directory
2. Go to /administrator/components and delete the com_migrator directory

 

If this doesn't solve it you will need to do the following:

You should uncomment the lines 55-58 of /administrator/components/com_installer/component/component.class.php

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// if (file_exists($this->elementDir())) {
// $this->setError( 1, 'Another component is already using directory: "' . $this->elementDir() . '"' );
// return false;
// }

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This will do the thing and you will be able to re-install the component
