file name that we get downloaded is tagmeta1.3community.zip and not TagMetaX.X_unzipmefirst.zip. so it doesn't have those ccomponent file (com_tagmeta_X.X.zip) and plugin file (plg_tagmeta_X.X.zip) in it. when i tried to install the folder (tagmeta1.3community.zip ) i have received list of errors which i have attached for your reference.

Kindly help how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
tagmeta1.3community.zip includes both component and plugin and you don't need to unzip. Just install over the old one (upgrade mode is supported).

Component com_tagmeta_X.X.zip and plugin plg_tagmeta_X.X.zip are related to old version 1.2, wich is the same version mentioned by the tutorial.

I'm releasing a new version of Tag Meta, than I will update the quick guide too. Sorry for the incongruence.

Regards,
Luigi

without unzipping i tried to install, but i get that error

Could you post the error?

However, just try to uninstall the old version for component and plugin. Don't worry for tables, data will be left untouched.

Let me know,
Luigi

btw i don't think i have ever installed this metatag, its for the first time

Message

* Install Component Error

Could you, please, tell me MySQL version?

L.

i am unable to trace that, how do i trace it?

MySQL 5.0.81

It could be a timeout problem.

Anyway, try to install again. If the problem persists, I could help you. If you trust, send me an email at info(at)sistemistica.it and provide me a temporary access.

Luigi
