Hi,

I’ve got seven joomla sites operational, six of them with JA templates. This was my first Quickstart installation.

I get the following error message when trying to upload a module, plugin or component.

* It was not possible to copy the selected file.
* JInstaller::install: Failed to copy file: public_html/tmp/install_4ae62460c4191/mod_customFooter.php to /home/udpuqfmf/public_html/modules/mod_customFooter/mod_customFooter.php

I’ve looked on the joomla site, but cannot find anything, please, please help….I’m pulling my hair out – I’ve been at this for 5 hours.

Thanks, Nigel

Did you try to chmod /modules.
And also please check to chmod all needed directories

Hello,

This seems to be a folder permissions issue. As said, try making the said folders 777 and then adding the files to it. That should do it. The quickstart is working properly, I just tested it.

Thanks for your reply.

My other sites have permissions set at 755 for folders and 644 for files and they’re all working fine.

I just tried setting modules and sub directories to 777 and got the same error message.

Could this be a database issue?

I’ve set the paths in the configuration.php to public_html/logs and public_html/tmp and ftp to public_html and disabled ftp

Could I simply reload the installation folder, delete the database and re-install?

I really appreciate your help.

Many thanks

Nigel

Hi

Thanks for your help…

Just to let you know, my ISP has just confirmed that for some reason, my settings had been changed, BY THEM, disabling the “Copy” function. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

It has now been enabled and all is working as it should be.

Hope this helps for others. Again, thanks for replying earlier.

Kind Regards

Nigel
