Cannot install Fabrik 3 pre alpha

[agossweiler]

Hi Rob
I have made a fresh installation of Joomla 1.6 to test fabrik 3 preAlpha.
Unfortunately I am not able to install it. I use "Install from Directory" as proposed. But if I point to pkg_fabrik_3.0pre-alpha.zip I got "Please enter a package directory" as error message. If I unzip I got the error message:

• JFolder::create: Could not create directory
• Unable to create destination
• Install path does not exist
• Package Install: There was an error installing an extension: com_fabrik_3.0pre-alpha.zip

What do I wrong?
Thanx for your help in advance.
Kind regards
Andreas

Hi
I had a problem with the file/directory permissions. I can install it now, but I got the follwing:

• Error building Admin Menus
• JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/www/html/administrator/components/com_fabrik/installation/updates/mysql

• Installing package was successful.

But I have no Admin Menus ...

Kind regards in advance for the supprt.
Andreas

Error building Admin Menus

I think this one is due to the unsuccessful previous install, if you look in the database table 'jos_menu'

try removing any lines whose 'link' column contain 'com_fabrik'

Unistall fabrik
then re-install

JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /home/www/html/administrator/components/com_fabrik/installation/updates/mysql

Yup friday I had a go at fixing these types of errors, I'll try to get a new zip out soon. Otherwise the changes are in the svn
