Just installed a new Joomla on one of my domains at inmotionhosting. They don’t give me the choice of installing 3.3. But neither ja sugite or uber will install. Is this because you need to update to 3.4? If so, how can we get that very soon, at least for your popular Uber template? I’ll take beta code or some html fixes if that’s my only choice.

On another site, with uber installed, I upgraded to 3.4 and it seems to work fine. It may just be a very simple change to your zip file. Please help us.

Error
No file selected.
Unable to find install package

(Yes I do know I can do a manual installation of Joomla. But it’s a pain.)

What should I do?

Here’s how I did it. First, unzipped the download to get the template. Then I ftp’d to home/burste6/public_html/aint/t/ where I had to unzip again to get the right files (the full Joomla install, not a single zip package. Thank you Viet Vu

Workarounds
Using ‘Install from Directory’ – by unzipping the archive in a temporary path, pasting that path in the ‘Install Directory’ field and clicking on ‘Install’.
Using ‘Install from URL’ – although for commercial extensions this isn’t viable since most of them will not have directly accessible URL for the archive. You can upload the archive on your website and point it in the ‘Install URL’ field (for example, upload ‘com_my_extension.zip’ in the root of your website and just type in http://www.your_website.com/com_my_extension.zip). Remember to delete it after you’re done.
Applying the fix manually. Read on below for instructions on how to do that.
Fixing it manually
Applying the fix manually can be done with minimum knowledge:

Open your FTP account, connect to your website and go to the administrator/components/com_installer/models/ folder. FileZilla is a good FTP client if you’re not familiar with them. Your hosting provider should provide you with a username and password to connect to your website’s FTP.
Create a backup of install.php (download it to your computer) just in case.
Edit install.php (on your website) with a text editor. If you don’t have one, I strongly suggest you check out Notepad++.
Replace:

$userfile = $input->files->get(‘install_package’, null, ‘array’);

With:

$userfile = $input->files->get(‘install_package’, null, ‘raw’);

Scroll down the file to find:

JFile::upload($tmp_src, $tmp_dest);

And replace this one with:

JFile::upload($tmp_src, $tmp_dest, false, true);

Just save the file – if you’re using FileZilla it will automatically prompt you to re-upload the modified file. If not, you’ll need to upload it manually.
After the changes are done, try again to install the extension you were having trouble with – it should work properly. If not and another error message comes up (hurray!), we do have a guide to debug the installation of Joomla! extensions.
