0) First JMS 1.2.97 can not be installed on Joomla 2.5.10 or higher.
You need to use JMS 1.3.10 or higher to be compatible with Joomla 2.5.10.
They have changed their installer that is uncomptible with version prior the 2.5.10
See bug tracker 30206 that we have reported to Joomla.
joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker...racker_item_id=30206
Perhaps that you can post a message to Joomla to also report that their update is not compatible with previous version and had a regression bug.
1) You probably got an error when trying to install JMS 1.2.97 on J2.5.10 or higher.
So Joomla didn't installed JMS 1.2.97 and you probably continue to have 1.2.92
2) Perhaps that you server does not allow performing call to the outside.
