[CLOSED] 921: fail installation

[MiHu]

4 Septembert, 2007
VirtueMart 1.1 revision 921 Complete Package

I installed at two different hosts, and both got the same error message

Upload component - Upload Error
Failed to move uploaded file to /media directory.

I tried to install it w/ J!1.5, and it also fails.

This is caused by incorrect permissions - probably on your {joomla_root}/tmp directory. I found that I had to make my tmp directory writable. Then it installed fine.

(It installs fine on Joomla 1.0.12, but fails on the latest J! 1.5 (rev. 8752). It is a J! 1.5 problem. Other components fails to install too. But, it only started in more recent versions of J! 1.5.)

[MiHu]

it's weird. I don't even have tmp folder under my joomla root.

[gregdev]

Which version of J! 1.5 are you using?

[MiHu]

all right ..

there is a tmp folder within J! 1.5. I though you are talking about J 1.0.x
I still can't install even I change the permission to 777 on tmp folder.

I tried to install on J 1.0.13 and still no luck.
Is it something wrong w/ my host?

I have no problem to install 1.0.12 at my J 1.0.13.

Best,

It seems Joomla or host issue, recheck permissions make sure it is 777, which version of J1.5.

[MiHu]

J! 1.5 version: 20070905 nightly build

I'll recheck the permission again tomorrow, but how come I can install the old version but not the new one.

BTW, 1.1 is for both 1.0.13 and 1.5, right?

Correct. There is a new build try that.

Not sure if this helps or not - I've had mixed results as follows:

Using J1.5RC2  + VM1.1 (6 Sept 07 build) - with Joomla 1.0 Legacy Mambot enabled

Installing on Linux machine hosted offsite using the following DB=4.1.22-standard, PHP=4.4.7, Web Interface=Apache
  - installs correctly and useable. Am testing on this at the moment

Installing on Windows machine hosted locally using the following DB=5.0.16-nt, PHP=5.0.5, Web server= IIS5, Web interface, cgi-fcgi
  - Does not install and I get the following messgage:
     'There was an error uploading this file to the server.'

In php.ini increase memory / file upload limit to 16MB

Cool - works now. It had to be something simple

[MiHu]

what's wrong w/ my host?


the permission page shows all "writable" except session path.
How can I debug for this?

[aravot]

You are missing 'Session save path = /tmp' you need to contact your host and ask them to add it, by the way who is your host?

[MiHu]

well ... can you tell me how to config it if you know how?
It's my testing dev box at a virtual machine.

Thanks for pointing out my problem

I will try again at my host machine later of the day if I get a chance.

Which one are you using? In php.ini search for session.save_path and add /tmp to it.

example
session.save_path = "c:/wamp/tmp"
