1) Error Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file in 1.5.10
Due to changes on the file libraries/joomla/installer/adapters/component.php 15217 Custom Install file upgraded on Component installation, some components that have invalid XML manifest files will not install in version 1.5.10
After installation this error will show:
JInstaller::install: File '/xxxx/tmp/install_49ce897371c92/jfusion.install.php' does not exist.
Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.
The installer can not find the install.php if this file is not in the root of the component or if the file is not defined to be in a folder on the xml file.
e.g the install.php is located in the folder admin and in the xml the install is:
jfusion.php
in 1.5.9 the installer could locate the file, in 1.5.10 not anymore.
Workaround to get your component installed for now, change the location in the xml to folder/install.php
e.g if the file is in folder admin
admin/install.qcontacts.php
This is an issue with the component XML manifest file. Please contact the developer to report this problem to ensure that they fix their mistake.
2) Feed email undefined error
When upgrading from an earlier version, you might encounter "Undefined Variable: feed_email" warnings when viewing feeds or Global Config admin screen. This is because a NEW FEATURE was added to Joomla 1.5.10 and a new configuration var was added. To fix this, just edit and then resave your Global Configuration using the administrator console. This adds the $feed_email var to your /configuration.php file.
3) Incorrect Install File
This error will occur when the tag in the XML install file for a component is incorrectly specified. Commonly this occurs when an extension developer specifies the files in their administrator files section in addition to specifying an install file. Typically this doesn't cause an issue because the installer would silently ignore the error and continue working, however due to a change in 1.5.10 to fix an issue when the tag is used properly this may cause issues with extensions that use 'method="upgrade"' for the extension install files.
The tag itself will handle copying the file denoted by that location from the root of the installation package (where the XML install file is) to the administrator section of the component.
Everything that is stated about the installfile is the same as the uninstallfile.
Putting the installfile in a different directory
Say for example you didn't want the install files to live in the root of your extension but wanted to put them in a subfodler in your administrator section. You may already be doing this for pre-1.5.10 in an incorrect way.
If you create in the root of your install package a folder matching your preferred target folder (e.g. "install") and then locate the install and uninstall files in that directory then you can specify the following:
install/install.php
Doing this alone will cause your installation to still fail because in the administrator directory there still won't be an 'install' folder created. To solve this, create an 'install' folder in your administrator folder of the package and also place an 'index.html' file into this folder. Then in the files section for the administrator put the following line:
install
This will automatically create the install folder for you and copy the index.html file across. Then when the installer comes to copy the install file across both the source and destination files will exist properly.
Other fixes and changes in Joomla 1.5.10 include:
Security:
One low-level and one moderate-level security issue were fixed in this release:
• Moderate Priority: A series of XSS and CSRF faults exist in the administrator application. Affected administrator components include com_admin, com_media, com_search. Both com_admin and com_search contain XSS vulnerabilities, and com_media contains 2 CSRF vulnerabilities.
• Low Priority: A XSS vulnerability exists in the category view of com_content. More information »
