Can't Install VM2

[webdeep]

Hi I have problem with installing VM2. When I try to upload com_virtuemart.2.0.6.tar.gz I have this message:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@autoparts-solution.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache Server at www.autoparts-solution.com Port 80

Please help.

webdeep,

There are quite a few responses to this in regards to uploading.
* one is to simply contact your provider and ask for a larger PHP
* one is the amount of time the server takes to perform the actions - If you use Chrome (it has an excellent upload % scale that shows how long a file is taking to upload)

* I have had several of these issues after about version 2.0.4 and you may need to try several things
* convert the tar file to zip - you can find a few converters online and they do an excellent job.
* the other is I would suggest ( upload the files both to your public or home folder first and then use an absolute link to install them)
http://www.yoursitename.com/com_virtuemart.2.0.7.zip
Do this through the extension manager - third type of install.
* it works for me.

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds - tells you that you need to increase max_execution_time setting in your wamp's php.ini file.
