unable to write archive error usually means that host directory/file permissons are incorrect or not enough disk space. This is with Joomla 2.5.11?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, it is with Joomla 2.5.11, I've just check the directory permission (on informations system of joomla) and they are all green and writable.
So i've check the disk space. The db space was ok, but the web space was running out (i don't know the reason, and now i need check also this).
I've increased the webspace, and now i've the "500 error - Server internal error"...

The reason for a 500 error will be recorded in the server error log, so have a look there.
