Magento

I figured it out.

I had type install this extension key:

magento-core/Mage_All_Latest

see attached.

Click thumbnail to see full-size image

so i’m getting this exact error.

when i got to my ssh i go to the directory var/www/html/ which is where my magento is installed.

so i type

[/var/www/html]$ pear install mage-core/Mage_All_Latest-stable

and i get this

my hosting company told me not to type ./pear because it wasn’t working for me. just typing pear then the command seems to be working for me.

Remember to select the “settings” tab in Magento Connect, change preferred state to “Stable” and save - before upgrading.

If this is set to beta, or alpha you often get the invalid package error.

And also, try to use “magento-core/Mage_All_Latest “ instead of “magento-core/Mage_All_Latest-stable”

@chadalderson - you need to install some php bits and bobs. I don’t know how you do ‘yum install php-mcrypt’ on a MAc, but that is what you need to do.

I would be tempted to do a reinstall if I were you - you could save time that way.

@David - well done for understanding the instructions better than the rest of us! I had severe login problems and your tips here have helped immensely!

You have to use the magento version of pear - the system wide pear wont work.
Try this first:

If the install doesn’t do anything (or only installs one package), try

Did you clear your cache?

@

@laqua, I have cleared cache befor, but its the same !

Try the Pear setup first ...

This is the test system - right?

John

@pouya Have you moved the magento installation directory after the initial installation?
If so, try

Then try the install -f

EDIT: Ha, @John beat me to it

./pear mage-setup .

@John, I have tried it befor too!, wenn i try to install again via SSH it says that Magento 1.3.0 is installed! 

Thanks

I have 1.2.1.2 installed. Have no SSH access and Magento Connect doesn’t function. Would overwriting current files with the files from 1.3.0 full package do the upgrade or do i need update for database tables as well?

@alva the database will be updated on the next load of your store, not the upgrade of the files. So you can try overwriting the installation. It might work (Backup...!)

I am having same problem, can’t access admin area our downloader.

I am using 1and1 hosting and have php 5 and 4 both installed. Default it php 4 so how i can use

i get following errors.

how i can switch to php5 from ssh.
