Problem 1:
When installing Artio Joom SEF component, installer is unable to complete clean install as it does in legacy versions of Joomla. The following errors occur:
Warning: rename(/var/www/website/administrator/components/com_sef/bots/joomsef_metabot.php,/var/www/website/mambots/system/joomsef_metabot.php) [function.rename]: Permission denied in /var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_sef/install.sef.php on line 32
Warning: rename(/var/www/website/administrator/components/com_sef/bots/joomsef_metabot.xml.tmp,/var/www/website/mambots/system/joomsef_metabot.xml) [function.rename]: Permission denied in /var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_sef/install.sef.php on line 33
I resolved the issue by doing the file move/copies myself. The target directories did not exist. I'm not sure why this code would work on legacy and not Joomla 1.5 Rc2. I do have the legacy plugin installed.
Problem 2:
After installing Artio the Joom SEF component, retrieving the component administration module yields the following errors:
Warning: require_once(/var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_installer/admin.installer.html.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_sef/installer/sefext.php on line 1
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_installer/admin.installer.html.php' (include_path='.:') in /var/www/jungleroots/administrator/components/com_sef/installer/sefext.php on line 1
It appears the administration module for JoomSEF relies on the com_installer file (joomla code?) admin.installer.html.php which no longer exists in 1.5 RC2? I have no workaround.
