Repeated Failed Installation

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.0
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5.18
-- PHP version -- : 5.3.17
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer

I've tried installing HikaShop various ways and they all seem to be failing. The first way is using the standard Extension Manager in Joomla and installing from a zip file.

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in xxx\administrator\components\com_hikashop\views\update\tmpl\wizard.php on line 136

The second way was to upload the files to my tmp folder and installing through that method. When I try it this way, it just kinda runs and runs and eventaully gives me the following error:


PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in xxx\administrator\components\com_hikashop\install.hikashop.php on line 28

I even tried uploading the .gz file and extracting it directly on the server (instead of extracting then uploading). Wanted to be sure there wasn't a problem during the upload process. And I still get the exact same errors.

Both of these are using the latest HikaShop download. 2.3.0 Starter.

I've used Hikashop on many of my domains in the past and love it and would love to get it going again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I tried changing the PHP to 5.5.6 and had no luck with that either.

Hi,

I just tried on my end with the starter edition available on HikaShop.com and it's working fine, no errors.
Are you sure that you don't have folder restrictions / permissions which could cause a problem when copying / reaching files ?

I can double check. But it would surprise me as I can install many other components just fine. I've installed Akeeba Admin Tools, ACYMailing, Akeeba Backup and Virtuemart without any issues at all.

I'm a tad lost by your reply Jerome. Not in what happened, but in how to remedy it. So I should manually uninstall HikaShop then reinstall it?

So, I followed your solutions.

I uninstalled Hikashop and then used the tables.sql to create the missing tables and the installation went through fine. No problems and I was happy as can be. However...

After the installation, I filled out the installation assistant. I set up my address, currency, etc. and when I went to click on "Save and Go Create Your First Product" I got:

PHP Notice: Undefined index: address in xxx\administrator\components\com_hikashop\controllers\update.php on line 109

So, I just used the "back" option and instead went to "Skip" and went to the dashboard and the setup seems fine. If I manually configure the currency and shop options, will there be any future problems?
