Install problem

I did download latest version of the JFBConnect to install it. Installation stops to error where it describes that installation file is not available.
I studied the XML a bit and discovered that in the install directory there was file called install.php and in the admin directory jfbconnect.install.php After little re-naming the installation was run Ok.
How could I verify the installation is Ok? After installing JFBCLike I was trying it. I did enable it from the module selection. Placing it to proper position and went to see how does it look like. For some reason my web pages stopped to load completely.
I did the same test for an other site and the same problem.
Is there something I should do prior using jfbclike or should it work immediately?

Ok... more information for you.

The zip packet I did download was JFBConnect-4.1.2-Joomla15_20120131_unzip_first

I did unzip packet and then I was trying to install it with Extension manager in Joomla. I used Upload file / install option which works Ok for social plugins.

The Error message I did recieve was

* JInstaller::install: File '/www/t/r/www.xxx.xxx/tmp/install_4f30232917b72/install/jfbconnect.install.php' does not exist.
* Component Install: Could not copy PHP install file.

Install Component Error

So to me It seems that there is not correct information in the XML which describes installation packet.

Joomla version I'm running is 1.5.10

So what to do next?

Hey Timo,

firstly I would strongly recommend upgrading to the latest Joomla!1.5.x (1.5.25 the time this was written).

Please check you directory permissions, specially the tmp directory.

Let us know if that solved your installation issue.

I know there are newer versions available... have to figure time to make upgrade...

Installation problem...

Directory permissions are 0755 and site is on unix server.

I have also tried to copy unzipped installation package to server tmp directory but I do get the very same error message.

I also tried to install social modules and all of them installed without problems so to me there are some problems with the com_jfbconnect_j1.5_v4.1.2.zip package that comes in the latest download package

Hello Timo,
could you please show us a screenshot of the Help -> System Info -> Directory Permissions on your Joomla installation? if not, please ensure all directories are Writable.

Also, for testing purposes, do you have an option to install a fresh new Joomla!1.5.25 installation (maybe on a sub-domain or sub-directory), and try the latest installation of JFBC?

I have attached screenshots from filezilla which I use to manage my site. All the directories are writable for owner. I also tested it by changing them writable for everyone but it did not help so changed them back to original.

755 as code means Owner has Read Write Execute, Group has Read and Execute and Public has Read and Execute

To my understanding the XML file which is included in the installation packet has problem. It points to the file which does NOT EXIST in the delivery packet and that's why the installer can not copy file to proper location.

Right at the moment I don't have time to test clean installation, but as I said earlier all the social modules installed from the same delivery packet without any problems so I don't see any reason why my setup would be not correctly parametrized,

Timo

Thank's

I'll have to upgrade after I have checked any possible compatibility issues with other modules and plugins I have installed.

Hello Timo,
usually upgrading Joomla inside the same development tree (i.e from 1.5.10 to 1.5.25) should cause any issue, but we suggest you simply backup you current website before doing any attempt to upgrade.

Please do let us know after a successful upgrade if that solved the installation problem.
