Unable to install Joomdle

Hello,

I have installed Joomla locally on Linux + Ubuntu 19.04 + Nginx server here: /home/joanna/development/joomla/3.9.19

When I try to install Joomdle I get errors. I was able to install the Install from web extension.

I really cannot see what is wrong. I have been through the forums and made the following changes

php.ini
file_uploads = On
allow_url_fopen = On
memory_limit = 256M
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 65M
max_execution_time = 360
date.timezone = Europe/London

configuration.php
public $tmp_path = '/home/joanna/development/joomla/3.9.19/tmp';
public $ftp_enable = '0';

All directory permissions are drwxrwxrwx [some number] www-data www-data

php7.2-xmlrpc is already the newest version (7.2.26-1+ubuntu19.04.1+deb.sury.org+1).
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 7 not to upgrade.

Errors
Via Upload Package File (I have unzipped the folder and the 3 zips within it)
It just sits at uploading 0%

Via Install from folder
I have tried putting the file into a sub-directory within tmp called q2cforJ3.4, and then run check and install
(/home/joanna/development/joomla/3.9.19/tmp/q2cforJ3.4)
Same error if I do /home/joanna/development/joomla/3.9.19/tmp
Warning
JInstaller: :Install: Can't find XML setup file.
Error
Path does not have a valid package.
Unable to find install package

Via Install from web
Looks like its doing something but then errors out
Error
Unable to find install package

Via Install from URL
www.joomdle.com/download/category/6-core
Error
Unable to find install package

I am at a loss as to how to make this work

Can you help?

Best wishes

Jo

I have tried reinstalling Joomla (3.9.19) a number of times. I have tried different php versions (currently using 7.4). I have switched debugger on and can see that it fails when trying to get the mysqli driver. This issue is super frustrating. Can someone help please?

Btw - if I switch to using Mysql (PDO) it fails when trying to get that driver. (JDatabaseDriverPdo->execute()). Yet both appear to be installed in my PHP

/etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/20-mysqli.ini,
mysqli
MysqlI Support => enabled
mysqli.allow_local_infile => Off => Off
mysqli.allow_persistent => On => On
mysqli.default_host => no value => no value
mysqli.default_port => 3306 => 3306
mysqli.default_pw => no value => no value
mysqli.default_socket => no value => no value
mysqli.default_user => no value => no value
mysqli.max_links => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysqli.max_persistent => Unlimited => Unlimited
mysqli.reconnect => Off => Off
mysqli.rollback_on_cached_plink => Off => Off
API Extensions => mysqli,pdo_mysql


/etc/php/7.4/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini,

It seems you may have general problems in your Joomla installation. Have you tried installing any other extensions?

In Joomla you need to install joomdle-joomla-package.zip

Hi Antonio
Thanks for your response.
I have uploaded other extensions (the web installer and Akeeba) and both installed successfully.
I am installing locally on Nginx and my Moodle and Joomla are in different server boxes - could it be that?

Hi.

Problem is not related to Joomla and Moodle being on different servers.
You just cannot install the package in Joomla, so everything else does not matter.
I have never seen this happening, so it may have something to do with your specific configuration, but I cannot really tell you what may be causing the issue.
