VM installation failure on 000webhost.com

[imba22]

Hi Folks,
I have created a website and hosted it for free on 000webhost.com (I am trying to do a test run before paying for web hosting). I have been able to successfully install joomla on c-panel of 000webhost. Further when I try to install virtuemart 1.* , I fail. When I try to install the main VM component it waits for a while before returning to admin homepage.
I believe this might be known issue. My development has been stuck because of this. I would be very helpful if someone can help me here.

I assume you installed Joomla 1.5? It is now officially past end-of-life but some installers will still have it.

Either insufficient webspace, bad directory permissions or ownership, or too low php.ini restrictions.  Suggest you remove the auto installed site and make a proper (manual) install VirtueMart_1.1.9_eCommerceBundle_Joomla_1.5.23.zip - from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files

Thanks Jenkin that really worked.
I uploaded the files directly into the server where my website is hoste

Actually I have to develop a music store application which will sell digital products like songs in mp3 format. In this regard can you please provide your valuable inputs? I have listed few question here which are the issue which we are facing right now?

• What virtuemart and Joomla version will be best suited . I am using VM 1.1.9 and joomla 1.52

• What plugings  use to configure the billing system with a payment gateway

• Is there any joomla module which can give a preview of the song (like playing it for 30 seconds), before user can download it?

Thanks and regards

As per my view you can use Virtuemart 2.0.6 which is the latest stable version of Virtuemart and is compatible with Joomla 2.5. There are lots of payment methods available in Virtuemart but you can use Chronopay because it offers secure multi currency payment solution.

There is no any specific module to play songs in 30 seconds you can create your own module and connect it with Joomla music player Extension to play songs.
