Uninstall Error

Hi

I am trying to delete Hikashop via phpmyadmin with the code provided.

DELETE FROM `jos_menu` WHERE link LIKE '%com_hikashop%';
DELETE FROM jos_extensions WHERE element = 'com_hikashop';
DELETE FROM jos_assets WHERE name='com_hikashop';

when i do this i get the error - #1146 - Table 'admin_.jos_extensions' doesn't exist

i want to delete hikashop so i can upload a fresh install, when i try and delete hikashop via joomla i get the error :-

JFolder: :delete: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/vhosts/lvps212-67-217-114.vps.webfusion.co.uk/zsite/components/com_hikashop
Component Uninstall: Can't uninstall. Please remove manually


Any ideas on how i can get this fixed so i can upload a fresh install

Many Thanks

Nick

Hi,

Which version of Joomla are you using ?
In Joomla 1.5, the table "extensions" does not exists, it is named "plugins".

During the uninstall, HikaShop tests the joomla version in order to process the right sql queries.

Hi Jerome

Thanks for the fast response. The version I'm using is Joomla 2.5.8

Should i change the sql queries to suit. If so what should change it to?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Are you sure that your database prefix is "jos" ? If not, thanks to replace it by the good prefix.

Hi Xavier

Thats a good point looking at joomla under global configuration the database table prefix is xyupf_

Im a complete novice at this kind of detail but im guessing that the following query would help

DELETE FROM `xyupf_menu` WHERE link LIKE '%com_hikashop%';
DELETE FROM xyupf_extensions WHERE element = 'com_hikashop';
DELETE FROM xyupf_assets WHERE name='com_hikashop';

Is this correct?

Many Thanks

Hi,

Yes it is.
