Hi
I have had no trouble with jDownloads in WAMP and also XAMPP.  The WAMP site was a backup restore.  In WAMP I was not able to install by 'Upload Package File' but I could apparently install by 'Install from Directory'.  But then jD had problems.  I asked Arno and he said the install only works properly from 'Upload Package File' for some reason I do not understand.  So I switched to XAMPP and all was well after I modified the file upload sizes (post_max_size and max_file_size {think name is wrong its late!})  Then installed jD and all OK.

PS you can get a free test site from Site Ground for a limited period

Hi, Colin,

Thank you for taking the time.  It turns out that I was able to install with "Upload Package File" in WAMP.  Maybe what I'll try is to modify the file size limits and check if that solves the issue.

Will give you another update.

Cheers!

Hi, Colin,

I checked the php file and noticed that clue for the error lies in the coding for line 841 -
$max_cat_id = $src_for_url_list[count($src_for_url_list)-1]->id;

The reason why I see the error is that I tried to access jDownloads before creating valid Categories.  Still, to the uninitiated, it would be helpful to code a message prompting the user to create a Category before accessing jDownloads again.

Thanks again!

Hi
Thanks for input./  That problem is a real new one!  Had not thought of the possibility.
Will talk to Arno about it.

Hi newbie01,
please note that this "errors" are only "notices" and not heavy errors. And the results from the script are still correct.
So when you use the default settings for the ' Error Reporting' in your Joomla global configuration, you should not have any problems.

But we will fix the notices in next version.
