Did you check it in admin >> help >> system info >> php information ?

Also, Please ensure that you are installing the zip file which appears in unzipper folder of specific extension

In admin – help – system info – php information .. I have
PHP Version: 5.2.11

and I am installing the file called “com_community_pro_1.8.7.zip” …

Is it true? Thank you for your help!!!

Are you able to install other 3rd party extensions ?

To eloborate on this, Please press ctrl+f while you are on specific screen and search for:
memory_limit which will let you know about session limit

Confirm that memory_limit is 128M
but I have noticed another thing .. I don’t know if it’s important …

upload_max_filesize is 2MB

In PHP.INI (vers. 5.2.11) I have modified this parameter to 128M, I stopped e start WAMPSERVER but nothing is changed.
The value is still 2mb … why??
I can’t change this value

Thank you !!!

Taking this thread into consideration:

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=431&t=277595

Seems like you will need to increase filesize upload value
<blockquote>The most common reason for this problem is that the File you have uploaded is too big.
The File Size Upload Limit on your Server is set too low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By
default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but you can set to 4 MB to get rid of this error.

If you have access to the php.ini, then change the directive upload_max_filesize to “4M”
and reload the server configuration.

If you are running PHP in CGI mode on Apache, you can place an .htaccess file in your
Joomla! root directory and place the following code inside:

php_value upload_max_filesize 4M

This will solve the problem</blockquote>

there are sometimes problems at installing jomsocial. one time it’s memory, the other is timout and since 1.8 there’s also a zen problem.
you can try a different way:
don’t install with the “usual” upload&install methode. try installing from directory – this will work.
also try a different browser. I tried 8 times with firefox (my standard browser) – no chance. first time with IE – works – don’t know why, but it does ^^ hope this helps you.
