Architecture / Installation

Posted by Mike Finko 04 Oct 2025 16:56 UTC posts: 230

Hi,

Softaculous stopped working with Tiki for updates so I'm trying to manually install.
(gives an error that it needs the 'json' extension, however this is automatically in the core of php - my hosting submitted a support ticket several months ago, I submitted one again today).

I suspect the packages in 24.9 are actually just 24.8, not 24.9.

I downloaded 24.9 from SourceForge, uploaded this zip file to my hosting in my main file for this Tiki instance. I then unpacked, and I notice all the files are dated 3/27/2025, or the same date as 24.8 on SourceForge, not 6/19/2025.

When I run the installer, it offers to install 24.8, not 24.9. So I went though it, and it stays 24.8.

Per the instructions on https://doc.tiki.org/Installation
"1.2.2.1. Upload to your web host with cPanel's file manager" I followed the instructions:
"Use cPanel's file manager to upload the zipped archive and extract the files after the upload is complete. The files can be selected and moved to another directory in one action if necessary. If cPanel is available, this is a safer and faster method than uploading multiple files. "

Am I doing something incorrectly?

Thanks,
Mike
