Hi,

I have seen this come up alot in the forum and the standard answer seems to be to ensure you have chmod 777 the relevant directories, however in my case the issue was joomlas handling of trailing backslashes

My host, Crystone,  is running Apache/1.3.34 (Debian) PHP/4.4.4-0.dotdeb.3 with Suhosin-Patch AuthMySQL/4.3.9-2 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e

The problem I found was that it didnt like directories with a trailing back slash. You can check this very easily:



Untitled


phpinfo();
mkdir ("/yourhomedirectory/test/", 0777); <- trailing backslash
?>



If you can create the directory then the problem is else where. If you cant then try to open joomla\administrator\components\com_installer\component\component.class.php and change like so


if(!file_exists($this->elementDir()) && !mosMakePath(substr($this->elementDir(), 0, -1))) {
...


if(!file_exists($this->componentAdminDir()) && !mosMakePath(substr($this->componentAdminDir(), 0, -1))) {
...

This chops the trailing back slash off and sorted all my problems.

/Tom

I should also add that I suspect the root of the problem might be Suhosin-Patch

For those using JCE and having the same problem with its plug-ins, joomla\administrator\components\com_jce\installer\plugins\plugins.class.php

if(!file_exists((substr($this->elementDir(), 0, -1))) && !mosMakePath(substr($this->elementDir(), 0, -1))) {

/Tom

I thought that this could be the light at the end of the tunnel, but still no solution for me...  :'(
I tried everything, I even chmod all my files and directories to 0777, I tried to install the components with the zip process, web process, modified the component.class.php file like you said, but still getting the same errors... I really don't know what else to do... I'm trapped...  :(

***UPDATE***
Thanks to a safe mode patch, I solved the situation. Thanks again to pingvin13 for giving me the link to download the patch!

Hi Again
i had another look in the file. and i can see these files do i need to change  them to like yours . i am referring from my above post

if(!file_exists($this->elementDir()) && !mosMakePath($this->elementDir())) {
$this->setError( 1, 'Failed to create directory "' . $this->elementDir() . '"' );
return false;
}

if(!file_exists($this->componentAdminDir()) && !mosMakePath($this->componentAdminDir())) {
$this->setError( 1, 'Failed to create directory "' . $this->componentAdminDir() . '"' );
return false;

hey ya!

thanks for this very informative thread. i tried it though and still doesnt work. it was able to solve the component installation though. yey!

however, my themes still not working. tried chmod even to 777, tried ftp, reinstall, etc.

theres something about globals/safemode that people are saying. should i check that out? if i need to contact my host, could you please tell me what specific question to ask? and what i need them to do?

thanks a bunch!
