Title: error uploading file
Post by: jen697 on July 31, 2012, 17:40:16 PM
Joomla: 2.5.6
VirtueMart: 2.0.8e

When attempting to upload com_virtuemart.2.0.8e.zip through the joomla extension installer, I get the message "There was an error uploading this file to the server."

I added the line of code "php_value upload_max_filesize 4M" to the htaccess file but that did not fix it.

If there is no solution for uploading via the installer, can someone point me to instructions to upload via ftp? I'm not sure what directory to upload the files to.

Thanks!

Hi jen697,

This isn't a VM issue, it's to do with your server setup.

Here is a link to the Joomla! forum discussing the same issue:

I hope this helps.

Ah, thank you very much. It turned out that our php.ini file was in the wrong place.
