Error installing [Solved - not jD problem]

[LeRoux]

Hi, I am getting the following error when I try to install com_downloads 3.2.41- "Unknown column 'type_alias' in 'where clause' SQL=SELECT * FROM gtqpy_content_types WHERE type_alias = 'com_jdownloads.download"

Any ideas why this is happening ?

Hi
No real idea! Not seen this before.  The type_alias is referenced by jD in connection with Joomla! tags. So it could be that the tags component is not set up or similar or it could be you had a bad install.

Was this a new install or an upgrade or a migration?
Best if you use the Upload Package file to install jD as the other modes of installing are in our experience less reliable.

Hi, Thanks for the reply, solved it, it had nothing to do with jdownloads, it was the content_types table that was missing in joomla database.
