I'm receiving this: ERROR, Could not extract the update file after I start update process. What should I do?
Posted by on 14 November 2012 12:19 AM

The RPL update process needs to be able to extract a zip file to your Joomla and overwrite existing files. Make sure that Joomla can modify the following folders:

/components/com_rpl
/administrator/components/com_rpl
/libraries/rpl
/modules
/plugins/system
/plugins/user

If you cannot change your server settings, the manual process for updating your RPL via FTP is as follows:

  1. Connect to your FTP server and go to /administrator/components/com_rpl
  2. Look for a file named rplup.zip (Delete this file from server after step 6)
  3. Download the file to your local computer
  4. Extract this file locally to a new folder
  5. Inside the new folder you will see Joomla folders like administrator, components, modules, etc.
  6. Upload all these folders to your Joomla root folder and overwrite all the existing files.
  7. Now you need open the RPL backend to finish update process .

Note: Make sure you are using your FTP client in binary mode.
