I get an install error stating the there are FOF30 and FOF40 libraries that conflict with J2Commerce. I have deleted the old FOF30 directory but Akkeba Backup Pro Ver 10.3.6 uses the FOF40 library I believe? What is the solution? I do not have an email to create a temporary user for site access.

Hi Greg,

Akeeba no longer uses the fof libraries (since Joomla 4). They can be safely removed, leaving only the one we package with J2Commerce: fof (that modified version will allow you to move to Joomla 6).

If the libraries do not show in the libraries section in the backend (in Manage Extensions -> filter by libraries), they need to be removed manually on the server.

This warning while installing is intensionnal: we need to make sure sites do not carry 'dead' code that is no longer supported and make your site vulnerable.

Olivier.
