Trying to install MyBlog into 1.5 stable, got a permission error:

Code:

Warning: file_put_contents(C:\wamp\www\Joomla-1.5.0\tmp\install_47a26d665f5e3\) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\Joomla-1.5.0\libraries\joomla\filesystem\file.php on line 298

Its seems this was found sometime ago and a fix described.

Ever heard about bug tracker?

Hmmmmm

Actually, I thought the process was that end users should post bugs here and then the Q&T team would evaluate and submit to the bug tracker as needed/appropriate.....

Hence this sticky with all the tags the team use:

Hmmm,
anyhow, Bugsquad can't test as your extension is commercial.
We will gladly test any non-commercial extension to try to reproduce the error.

No issue here to install Translation Manager for example.

Barrie can you post the XML file of the component please? - well just the first parts up until the filenames

Are you installing this with legacy plugin enabled or disabled?

We'll have to get it from Azrul, I am not sure its general release yet.

It was in legacy mode.

Could be any number of things. As Phil suggests would have to see the XML file and at least the file manifest of the zip. As JM suggests, park this on the Tracker. All the Q&T stuff is under review atm, but for long time members of the community I'd really appreciate if they'd just go straight to where it's most efficient for us to process (ie, the Tracker). Actually on second thoughts, I'd throw this one back to the author first. Could well be that he's already received the feedback and fixed it.

Here is the xml file

What could be an issue is that the files consist of additional zip files, which are unzipped by during the installation process. I did remember that on RC1, i had to rename all these files as a .php file to fool the installer into thinking that it is just a normal php file.

PhilTaylor-Prazgod · **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2008 4:17 pm

IIRC the element is the part that creates the folder, so or your xml file E.g. "com_My Blog"

So if I am right your name element should be

myblog

We also do this with our components that have zip files inside zip file, we rename them to *.bf

The same is true (or was tru in J1.0.x) that additional xml files needed not to have an xml extension

masterchief · **Posted:** Sun Feb 03, 2008 2:25 am

Also, also take an optional folder attribute to help separate files with the same name in different spots (has done since, um, Mmabo 4.5.2 iirc). For example:

...

Where your file tree for the zip would look like:

myblog.xml
/site
../all the files for frontend
/admin
../all the files for backend

However, I'm not sure there should be a problem with zip's within zip's. They probably shouldn't be unzipped by the installer class (rather left for you to process through the custom install php file). If that is the case though I'd raise a tracker artifact and we'll look into it further.

Same same for me, did an upgrade to 1.5.1 before I installed com_extplorer_2.0.0_RC2 - no success :-[

Warning: file_put_contents(/...html/tmp/install_47b051a841f79/) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Is a directory in /.../html/libraries/joomla/filesystem/file.php on line 298

For extplorer, I have found that the scripts.zip file caused some problems. I unzip everything and do an install from directory and it works fine.

cloc · **Joined:** Tue Jun 06, 2006 10:39 am **Posts:** 36

Yes, worked!
good idea, but if you do not allow ftp but only sftp, a new problem starts ...

Sftp, that's an interesting question. That I think definitely should be in the tracker.

Well I just got the same error trying to install com_extplorer_2.0.0_RC2.zip.
This error only appeared on my WAMP5 server. On my JSAS server there were no errors at all.

Both time the component was installed on the latest j1.5...

Tried to replace the code as mentioned, but that did not solve the problem. So in my situation it looks like a local server problem, but this could just be me
