There was an error uploading this file to the server

[mohitmiki]

this type of file is not permitted

The most common reason for this problem is that the File you have uploaded is too big.
The File Size Upload Limit on your Server is set too low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By
default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but you can set to 4 MB to get rid of this error.

If you have access to the php.ini, then change the directive upload_max_filesize to "4M"
and reload the server configuration.

If you are running PHP in CGI mode on Apache, you can place an .htaccess file in your
Joomla! root directory and place the following code inside:

php_value upload_max_filesize 4M

This will solve the problem

after choosing the file , and uploading it, it displays a message upload successful , but where does the file get uploaded

after uploading a file using easy uploader , it displays a message stating that ' download successful', but where is the file exactly uploaded, i am not able to see it

"NOTE: After making changes to php.ini, you must perform an httpd restart for them to take effect. This is accomplished by running the following from your command line:
/sbin/service httpd restart

Hope this helps!

How do you run "/sbin/service httpd restart" from your command line. I am a server newbie and have no idea what you are talking about here. Can you explain further?

I figured this out. Thanks!

Change your upload_max_file size because by default php allows only 2MB. Change it to your desired size and restart the apache server.

I ran into this same problem in a new J3.1 site installed in a sub directory. Nothing could be installed through the Extension Manager without running into an "error." However in the parent website I was running RS Firewall, and per their instructions had set the open_basedir (in a php.ini file) to:

open_basedir=/home/yourdirectoryfolder/public_html

So I simply commented out the line by putting a semicolon in front to read:

;open_basedir=/home/yourdirectoryfolder/public_html

Bingo, instantly I was able to upload and install. Note, the php.ini file was in the root directory only, but it was still affecting this new website in a sub directory. Hope this helps.

In the case any of you´re interested, I´m going to share with you what worked for me, when I always got an error when I tryed to install extensions.
In JCE-editor/control panel/profiles/default profile/plugin parameter-tab, the server allowed file-size was less than 1Mb.
I´m using Joomla 3.3 and newest version of t3 Framework with t3_bs3_blank-template.
I created a new file in the root of public_html-folder by using my host-cPanel-browser. The new file is public_html/php.ini.
I edited that empty file by using following:
upload_max_filesize = 132M
post_max_size = 132M
Some of you use 4Mb, but I use 132Mb.
Then I refreshed(reloded) my JCE-editor/control panel/profiles/default profile/plugin parameter-tab and got 132Mb there replaced for less than 1Mb.
Somtimes this number changes, but I´m not aware of why that happen?
Happy Joomla
