Hi
I'm running Gantry 4.0.4 on a J!2.5.7 site with the Kirigami template. It's just gone onto a live development server for testing and client approval (I have successfully upgraded other extensions since the move from WAMP to dev.server by editing CHMOD values pre and post install). I used the J! Extension update button and clicked the Gantry update... it complained that /plugins/system/installer/ couldn't be created, so I made 'system' writeable and tried again, it wrote the directory... i tried to run the script inside from the update UI 'install from directory'... it failed (no package).
The J! Extensions Update button in the control panel now reports that 'All extensions are up to date'... BUT...
... in the 'Template Manager' Kirigami reports that my Gantry version is unknown, 'Manage Extensions' shows 4.0.4 is installed, and the front-end of the site is still working fine (whew). Additionally, a 4.0.5 Upgrade on the WAMP version of the site shows the gantry library as the only thing that gets updated between 4.0.4 and 4.0.5.
I have since downloaded gantry_joomla_framework-4.0.5.zip to try a full manual install, but could you tell me:
a/ what directories need to be made writeable for the zip install to work, and/or
b/ if it's just a library file, how could i upgrade just that instead of overwriting gantry completely? - Last Edit: 12 years 6 months ago by kauri.

Hi Igor Your answer is for me to install a 3rd party extension!?! I just wanted to know what directories need to be be made write-able before installing gantry 4.0.5, or at least some pointers on the 4.0.4 to 4.0.5 upgrade path. I read some reviews and forums on Admin Tools, nonetheless, and it does look like a very helpful extension... I do, however, prefer working knowledge over one-click solutions. I'll try Admin Tools on my local WAMP version of the live site and see what happens. Thanks

- Yes, my answer is to install 3rd party extension because that particular extension is very helpful in cases when you need to check file and folders permissions throughout the whole site. I can't tell you exactly which folders you need to make writable because installation uses many of them. You should have clear situation and you obviously don't have it right now. Admin tools will help you
