  Hi,

I did not find a support category for the Joomla CMS Update component. That's why I post the question here.

I spent a lot of time figuring out why the CMS Update component was giving me a "Unexpected HTTP status 302" message when downloading the new Joomla release package.

It seemed the url to the release package returns a redirect to a Amazon location. Since the website is on a shared hosting server the open_basedir php setting was set by default. This setting prevents cURL to follow redirects.
Fortunately, I could set the open_basedir setting to 'none' where after the update component was able to download the release package and update Joomla successfully.

Could you build in a detection for this situation?

Thanks for the great components.

Kind Regards,
Wijnand

Unfortunately there's no workaround, so there's no point detecting this configuration. The only solution is waiting for PHP 7 when open_basedir will be finally removed because it offers no real protection. FYI the same problem applies to Joomla! Update and Joomla!'s extensions updates. It's a PHP limitation, not much anyone can do about it :(
