Hi, which package did you try to install exactly? Did you install or update?

Hi, Phoca Cart Modules Package is a package of modules but it is not main Phoca Cart package (component and default plugins). You need to install core Phoca Cart first:

Which Joomla version do you run? Which PHP and database version. Was this first install? In fact, this cannot happen when installing as the table should be created by Joomla installation procedure.

I have deleted everything pertaining to phoca but I keep getting the error message of shipping method not found. I am running the latest joomla version, my php is 8.4.4 and the database version is MariaDB version 10.5. Thanks for the assistance but I will try something else.

Change PHP version to 8.3 and try.
Good luck with something else.

Hi, Phoca Cart is tested on PHP 8.4. What do you mean with latest Joomla version? Joomla 4 or 5 or 6?

The problem is, Phoca Cart does not install itself, it is installed by Joomla system and Joomla systems gets the information about SQL queries from the install.sql file. And there there exists the definition for table #__phocacart_shipping_methods ... so really hard to say why system says about the missing table :idea:
