new install of J1.6 and installed the Joomlart extension manager but get this message: JFolder::create: Could not create directory. Running on linux/apache httpd 2.2.3/php v 5.2.17. changed html directory permissions to 777 but still get error?

….never mind. I found that the root html folder wasn’t owned properly and changing its ownership to apache fixed the problem 🙂

You can config and enable FTP account on “General configuration” page to solve this issue

Hello, I’m having this same issue. Could you be more specific on this please.

Hi,
You should go to Global Configuration on your joomla installation and enable FTP layer, you can find that under “Server” tab

Regards

No success. :((

Enabling FTP actually made the install worse, it won’t install at all. Disabling FTP will install but gives me this thingy:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory and that leads to other errors.

Hi,

In that case are you sure that the FTP credentials you have placed on this are correct ? It’s very odd that it’s not working at all with FTP layer on

I think that rdwatson is referring to /public_html on a linux / cPanel server
