Joomla 1.7 installation problem clean up script

[Geraint]

Some users have seen installations where the JEvents menu item is not visible in the backend of Joomla. If this occurs you could try this script - upload to the root of your installation, make sure you are logged in to the backend of your site as the root super user and then run it as http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cleanInstall.php. Hopefully this will restore your missing menu item.

If you get other errors during install you could try running the script as http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cleanInstall.php?cleanup=1 , this will remove some database references to JEvents in the extensions, assets and menu - you could then try re-installing.

Geraint, I've tried this but it still doesnt seem to want to install. The odd thing is I dont get any message at all, the install page just seems to reload after a while. any suggestions?

[Geraint]

Can you try unzipping the tar.gz file and zipping it up as a .zip file. does it work now?

[mads]

just tried that and still same problem.

[Geraint]

Can you send me login details for a user who can install extensions via PM and I'll take a look.

We just installed JEvents to try it out, and we have the same problem as mentioned in this thread -- no JEvents component shows up in the Component menu.

The first time this happened, as I was looking for how to make JEvents work, there was no menu item type of JEvents in the Menu Manager either.

I ran the cleanup script without and with the cleanup=1, but we still have no JEvents component listed.

However, I noticed that the JEvents menu item types show up in Menu Manager now.

Thank you for your help!

JEvents 2.0.5
Joomla 1.7.1

I can't see menu either in Joomla 1.5. Trying to run your clean install but I don't know exactly what this means: "make sure you are logged in to the backend of your site as the root super user and then run it as http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/cleanInstall.php.

I can upload the script to the root and log in as Super User to Joomla Admin but I don't know how to "run" the script.
Joomla 1.5
mySql server version 5.1.56
jEvents2.0.7

I think this script is meant to be used in Joomla! 1.7, so running it in Joomla! 1.5 may have unpredictable results.

For Joomla! 1.5 I think the first shoot should be trying to reinstall the component.

I am too having this problem. I have tried to install cleaninstall.php however I receive the following error when I try to load it "Must be logged in to backend of Joomla as a super root user to run this script"

I am running
Joomla - 1.7.2
SQL Database - 5.0
JEvents - 2.0.10
Linux Server

Hi Jmaier80,

Are you logged into the front and backend(this is the only login you should need though) of your site when running this script?

Thanks
