If the installation failed there is a known issue with Joomla 2.5 leaving database table rows about the extension behind, making uninstallation, launch and reinstallations impossible.

Solution:

  • Launch phpMyAdmin in your server hosting panel

  • Go to the table jos_assets

  • Search for rows with name ‘com_configbox’ and remove the rows

  • Search for rows with name ‘com_cbcheckout’ and remove the rows

  • Go to the table jos_extensions

  • Search for rows with name ‘com_configbox’ and remove the rows

  • Search for rows with name ‘com_cbcheckout’ and remove the rows
