Conflict with plugins

| RO CSVI

  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

MySQL server has gone away

| RO CSVI

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
In case the error stays, contact your hosting provider to solve the issue.
