Is the CS-Cart 2.0 Beta Download Corrupt?

General Installation & Upgrade
1

The reason I ask is that I have tried to download and unzip this several times but always get the same error: the archive is corrupt!



Any suggestions?

If you are using IE then try a different browser i.e. FF

Thanks but that didn’t make any difference. I’m using WinRAR, could that be the problem?

I am not sure what to tell you because I just tried opening it with WinRAR and it opened fine.



Is there anything odd about the file like the name or size? This is what I am showing:



cscart_v2[1].0-beta2

WinRAR archive

13,144 KB

This is what I have:



cscart_v2.0-beta2.tgz

WinRAR archive

13,144 KB



This unpacks to give:



cscart_v2.0-beta2.tar

WinRAR archive

43,650 KB



When I unpack this archive there appear to be a number of duplicate files as I receive a message asking whether-or-not to overwrite them. This is the archive the shows as being corrupt.

The archive is okay, but if you extract the archive to a Windows environment, you will get errors, because some files have the same name, but with a different use of letters (some are capitals and some are small).* For Windows these are all the same and will overwrite them or display an error message. For Unix/Linux these files are different! So extract the archive on your server and everything is nice.



You could do it this way: Upload the downloaded archive like it is, and make a phpfile with the following content:



```php system("tar -xvzf cscart_v2.0-beta2.tgz");
?> ```Name it for example “unzip.php” and load it up to the same directory you already loaded up the archive. Go to your browser and execute the phpfile:



[URL]http://www.name-of-your-domain-and-where-your-archive-should-be.com/unzip.php[/URL]



Voilá!



BTW you have to go to the directory [URL]http://www.name-of-your-domain.com/install[/URL] and refresh your browser to install the beta.





*These 10 files all reside in addons\webmail\lib\webmail\web\classic\ and are all javascripts. For example:



base.CNewAccountForm.js

base.cnewaccountform.js

base.CPageSwitcher.js

base.cpageswitcher.js

base.Inbox.js

base.inbox.js

…

and so on.

Some of the files in the new archive of beta3 are still named in a Unix/Linux way. So if you extract them in a Windows environment, you will have to overwrite or skip the 5 of the 10 javascripts with different use of letters (capitals and small letters). I hope CS-Cart will change this in future.
