- # 44389
Steps to reproduce the issue
-
created an empty MySQL database
-
Download Full Joomla 5.2.0 package from
https://downloads.joomla.org/cms/joomla5/5-2-0/Joomla_5-2-0-Stable-Full_Package.zip -
unzipped into folder on server
-
navigate to site in a browser and fill in configuration details
-
run installation
-
review results:
-
remove installation folder
-
go to administrator backend of new site and log in
-
wait for dashboard to populate
Expected result
- Notifications Message : Joomla is up to date
- no other errors reported (because it is a clean install)
Actual result
System information (as much as possible)
- Windows Server 2016
- Apache 2.4.57
- MySQL 9.0 (database collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci)
- PHP 8.2.11
Additional comments
Web Developer Tools shows me that this is the request that causes the error:
XHRGET
https://www.example.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=update&task=update.ajax&ea418c76a32a17c81b0ebcaf26aea39f=1&cache_timeout=3600&eid=0&skip=240
[HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error 32249ms]
But unfortunately I'm not seeing any more detailed information in the Apache logs.
If I click on "Unknown Extensions..." message, I eventually get this error:
Since this is a totally clean install I thought I should ask if there are PHP ini settings or other things I should be setting / checking. If I can provide any additional information please let me know.
[Note: this same server has been successfully hosting a Joomla 4.x site for several months, and this was my first attempt to create a Joomla 5 install. I only mention this for context about the server itself]

I noticed in #43287 (comment) that PHP Sodium is possibly necessary for Joomla 5.1+, and I indeed do not have it in my PHP installation.
Can someone confirm if this is the likely cause of my issue?
@tchaddad As that comment says, Joomla itself doesn’t require that, and it could be possibly a bug in the upstream library.
Could you at least enable it for a check to see if it helps?
@SniperSister Any news about that?

Thanks @richard67 - I had to go digging to find sources for both php_sodium.dll and then libsodium.dll, as I had neither in my PHP install initially. Once both were available, the Notifications resolved and the other error also is not triggered:
So I guess for PHP on Windows, it is somewhat necessary to have PHP Sodium for Joomla 5.2. Hopefully this helps anyone else in that situation with finding a solution.
