I've been trying to track point at which install fails and perhaps identified issue, but don't know enough of all the processes to be sure. In file com_fabrik_3.0.9.zip, the following lines appear:
<media folder="media">
<folder>com_fabrik/images</folder>
<folder>com_fabrik/css</folder>
<folder>com_fabrik/js</folder>
<file>com_fabrik/index.html</file>
</media>
By changing <media.. and /media> to <files.. and /files> and re-installing via Extensions/Install, the installation of com_fabrik_3.0.9.zip (revised) proceeds smoothly; the files in the /media directory are updated, and the fabrik component shows as version 3.0.9 in Extensions/Manage. Unfortunately, the files in the above other folders in reply #5 are not updated.
Again would appreciate guidance here -- was this tactic that removed the install halt totally naive(and wrong) or does it help identify updating issue??
