How to install Virtuemart 2 on Joomla 1.7.3? :o

[newone]

Hi!

Please,
I have installed some other e-commerce solutions that work and that I test, but I encounter a small difficulty
for installing virtuemart 2 on Linux. I have got he file "com_virtuemart.2.0.0_extract_first.zip"

I have installed la Joomla 1.7.3 that work : I access to the Administrator panel... etc.

I have extacted the 2 .zip files (com_virtuemart.2.0.0.zip & com_virtuemart_ext_aio.2.0.0.zip) in the main Joomla Directory

But I have searched and I have tried to find the good explanation to install the Virtuemart 2 on Joomla 1.7.3 : but I do not know how to do that ?
I have find some .pdf that speak of many things but nothing seems to work.

Thank you

Sounds like you need to understand how to use Joomla first.

See http://docs.joomla.org/Help17:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Install

and although out of date with VM versions and some advice, this is mainly valid: http://dashhelp.com/virtuemart-2-0-for-joomla-1-7-getting-started-for-beginners/

Hi!

Thank you for your answer

I have removed all folders and I have dropped the Database to clean all.
I have restart installation from zero, I am sure that Joomla 1.7.3 installation is clean.


Yeah I have find the way to do that automatically with your help
Here the image to explain how upload extensions...

But I encounter an Unknow problem with the Automatic installation

I have tried to download and install the file :
com_virtuemart.2.0.0.zip

I got that error
JFolder::create: Impossible to create the Directory
component installation : failed to create directory site /joomla/components/com_virtuemart

Please do you have an idea from where come that problem ?

Thank you
