I try to install ChronoForms on my MAMP-server, but I just get this blank page in Joomla and nothing is being added to the directory. I tried installing directly from the directory as well, but then I get this error message:
* Error! Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
* Path does not have a valid package.
Any suggestions? 😑
Hi Lakestone,
No idea - no Mac experience. The XML file is there (or should be). Delete both com_chronocontact folders, then try unzipping the files on the server and doing a manual install??

Should I unzip the the files directly into the Joomla directory? I tried that and I got no new component. And what com_chronocontact folders?! :o
Hi Lakestone,
There are two folders created by the installer administrator/components/com_chronocontact and components/com_chronocontact - if they aren't there that';s fine. If they are there empty and delete them before trying to re-install.
Don't just unzip the installer at random - please follow the Joomla instructions for a manual extension intallation.
Bob
If "manual" equals using the directory under the Extension Manager, then I've already tried it as I described in my previous post.
Hi Lakestone,
Sorry, nothing much else to offer. The only 'special' things about ChronoForms are (a) that it creates some extra folders and (b) that it's quit a big upload that can sometimes time out a server but the manual install should get round that.
Maybe someone else running on a Mac can offer a suggestion.
Bob
I found the problem!
I tried increasing the memory_limit in php.ini, and suddenly I could install ChronoForm using the package installer. I hope this helps other people that run into the same problem.
Thanks for the debugging help Bob!
Hi Lakestone,
Excellent - I didn't think to suggest that :-(
