PHP needs to be configured to allow more than 8MB, if this is a shared host you will need to discuss this configuration change with you host.

Huh? Sorry, I don't understand.....

This is set in the server php.ini, max_upload setting, you may have to contact the host to get this modified or you could try adding it in a local only php.ini. Try searching the forums or web to see the options avaiable, there are many.

Funny, I get that very same message even when my php.ini is:

Code: Select all

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
; http://php.net/file-uploads
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
; http://php.net/upload-tmp-dir
upload_tmp_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
; http://php.net/upload-max-filesize
upload_max_filesize = 128M
Any thoughts?

To anyone still stuck with shared hosting setting limitations (where changing php.ini settings can only be requested thru the provider), both Joomla 2.5 and 3 has the feature to install extensions from URL or from directory.

For me, uploading the component installer thru FTP to my public_html/tmp/ folder and entering that path in the URL and/or directory (whichever works).

Examples:
(by directory path) /home/root/public_html/tmp/yourcomponent.zip

or relatively

(by URL) http://www.yourwebsite/tmp/yourcomponent.zip

Worked for me, without having to hassle you webhosting provider on changing their settings globally that will affect all sites hosted on the same shared server.

Hope this helps.
