There are some plugins that break the functionality of CSVI.

Known plugins to break CSVI are:

• Jomsocial update
• Azrul System Mambot For Joomla
• XAJAX System Mambot For Joomla
• YT Framework plugin
• System - VM Affiliate Tracking Plugin
• shlib cache
• vmVendor

XAJAX

Here is a possible solution to fix the conflict between CSVI VirtueMart and xajax. You need to modify the xajax file following these steps:

1. Go to the folder /plugins/system/xajax.php
2. Open the file xajax.php
3. Find the line that says:
   

   $conflictingExtensions = array ();

4. Below this line add the following line:
   

   $conflictingExtensions [] = 'com_csvivirtuemart';

5. Save the file
6. CSVI VirtueMart should now work without a problem

The error MySQL server has gone away is a bad configuration setting on the server. The first work-around that can be tried is the following:

1. Open the file administrator/components/com_csvi/csvi.php
2. Find line 12 where the following code is:
   

   defined('_JEXEC') or die;

   // Access check.

3. Change this to read:
   

   defined('_JEXEC') or die;
   
   ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout', 300);
   ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 300);
   
   // Access check.

4. Save the file

A second work-around to try is the following (this is a Joomla core hack !):

1. Open the file administrator/index.php
2. Find line 14 where the following code is:
   

   // Set flag that this is a parent file
   define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

   define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

3. Change this to read:
   

   // Set flag that this is a parent file
   define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

   ini_set('mysql.connect_timeout', 300);
   ini_set('default_socket_timeout', 300);

   define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

4. Save the file
