This is the error message when trying to upload a new module (in this instance "Content Item Module", but it is problem with every module and component I have tried to upload.

How does one troubleshoot this issue?

Check to see if safe mode is on. Also check server error logs and see what kind of error messages you are getting. You can see this kind of error when the php memory_limit value has been exhausted.

I use a .htaccess file contains code

and put in the :
/home/tok10000/public_html/
/home/tok10000/public_html/media/
/home/tok10000/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/module/

but still, it's not work..

can somebody help me?

I believe that the correct .htaccess directive for safe mode (because it is a boolean) is to use the php_flag. So the correct directive for your .htaccess file would be

i try to use .htaccess like this..
and put in the :
/home/tok10000/public_html/
/home/tok10000/public_html/media/
/home/tok10000/public_html/administrator/components/com_installer/module/



but it's still error like this..



any idea? btw, thx for your help sir.. GOD bless you..

have you checked your error logs to see what errors are being recorded?

thx for your reply, Sir..

maybe I'm too foolish, I'm sorry.. But, where is the Error Log?
coz I can't find it.. I'm sorry.. 

I find Error Log at CPANEL, but it's empty..

Without defined errors, it is difficult to trouble shoot your problem. Try adding this command to your .htaccess at the root level

where is the ussualy place for the Error Log, Sir?

The cpanel error log would be sufficient.

thx for your help, Sir.
got to sleep now, it's 00.00 AM
sleepy.. 

back again..
still no solution to this failed..

and the worst thing, I don't know where to find the Error Log.
coz the Error Log in the CPANEL is empty.

how if I extract the module, manual in my PC.
then I upload them to the server.
is it possible?

any idea to install module with manual installation? 

is you module the original provided by the designer or is a zip of all the modules and components for what you are tryign to install? the error msg is telling you there is no Install file for what you actually trying to install.

This happens when in the 2nd folder of the zip no xml file present unzip its contents on your desktop and see what you get. Perhaps if this module is free ware link it here for me and ill take a closer look.

it is a virtuemart module.

i host joomla at 2 different server, the old one use safe mode off, the another one user safe mode on.

with the safe mode off, I can install VirtueMart module well.
but with the safe mode off, I can't install it.

that's my problem.

these are the error messages..
