Hi guys,

I have installed fabrik a few years ago using WAMPserver.

But now I am trying it out on Joomlatools Vagrant box.

I'm removing the joomla install and resinstalled multiple times.

Whenever I down ( done it 3 times ) fabrik 3.8.1 and install the com_fabrik_3.8.1.zip using the extension manager I get an error.

An error has occurred.

7 Joomla\CMS\Application\CMSApplication->execute() JROOT/administrator/index.php:51

When I look at the table j_extensions, I cannot find com_fabrik as an entry.

Did something go missing in the install file?

Also when I try to edit the fabrik module, the admin module settings are missing.

Thanks in advance.

cheers
Ed

Did the system fabrik plugin install? And is it published?

Thanks for replying achartier,

The com_fabrik plugin did not install and gave the above error.

This occurs with joomla 3.8.1

I tried with com_fabrik_3.5.1

and it gave me a the same error.

===============

I looked for

COM_FABRIK_FRONTEND

it was contained in the defines.php

https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/blob/master/plugins/system/fabrik/defines.php

But I could not see it in the com_fabrik.zip

I tried copying the files from github
https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik.git

but there's probably a database entry missing in the install file, Still the same error.


=============
I checked the directory

/administrator/components/com_fabrik/

and

/components/com_fabrik/

and the files are there.

=============
On the menu -> component -> fabrik ->

is available.

But when I clicked on the fabrik dropdown, the above error appears.

=============

I think its a database entry missing.

Before this, I was cloning github and using

git pull.

But that did not work. So I reinstalled joomla using joomlatools and com_fabrik_3.8.1

===============

cheers

Looks to me like Fabrik did not install correctly. I suggest you start over with a fresh Joomla installation, then turn on debug to Development level, and then try the Fabrik install. Perhaps yo will get a clue at that point.

Which Joomla version?
What do you mean with "...some years ago"?
You have to install pkg_fabrik_3.8.1.zip (not com_fabrik_3.8.1.zip).

Thanks Troester.

ISSUE is RESOLVED !!

My mistake was that I had unzipped

pkg_fabrik_3.8.1.zip

and installed com_fabrik_3.8.1.zip

first.

Really silly error.

So solution is to install

pkg_fabrik_3.8.1.zip
