TOPIC: [SOLVED] Problem with installation

I certainly didn\'t mean to imply there was a problem with the package - I was simply looking to be pointed in the right direction for solving the problem I\'m having getting the file installed.

I will open a ticket.

Thanks!

Did you check the System Info area to make sure that ALL directories are writable that Joomla requires to be? You said the /components directory but more than that directory needs to be writable.

I had developed the joomla installation under a subdirectory until I was ready to move it live about a month ago. At that time, I moved files up to the public_html root. So, as a result of the file moves, there were some directories that were not writable. However, after you mentioned checking the System Info for this, I made all the listed directories writable and re-tried the install, with the same results. It still failed to create the directory and the error message specifically states it can\'t create /components/com_dtregister - and /components/ (and every other directory listed in the System Info check page) is set to 777.

Just to follow up for anyone else who might have similar problems in the future - thanks to Nathan\'s suggestion, I disabled the FTP settings in the global configuration and the install worked.

Again, thanks!

Great! Yes, for those playing at home... I found that NO extensions were able to be installed on Melanie\'s site. If the FTP configuration is not correct in your global config, extension installs will not work correctly.
