UddeIM 1.1 Cannot Install

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for creating and contributing your UddeIM 1.1.

Problem

I cannot upload UddeIM 1.1 (release date 30/Mar/2008). I keep getting this error message in red:
Warning! - Failed to move file

I am running Joomla 1.5.3 with Community Builder 1.1 with Php 5, Mysql 5 and Apache 1.37 on a dedicated Linux server.

Please help.

Thanks.

Check if your folder permissions are correct. "administrator/component" and "component" need write permission.

Hi Stephan,

My UddeIM 1.1 is a first installation.

I follow your clean installation procedure via install/uninstall in Extension Manager of Joomla 1.5.3 when I got the error.

Can I ftp the UddeIM 1.1 to components folder instead ?

Well, you can upload the package and use the installer to install the locally saved file but I doubt that this will solve your problem.

When a previous version of uddeIM is already installed you can also upgrade by overwriting the existing files with the new ones.

But your problem will still exist, e.g. when you install other components so you should first check your Joomla installation. As I said before in my opinion it is a permission problem, so chmod the mentioned folders.

Hi,

What I did was to "enable" ftp at the server configuration. Not disable according to your instruction. For some reason this works for me and I've successfully installed it.

Thanks Stephan.

Yeah, thats a big problem introduced with J1.5 which has already lead into discussions on Joomla.org.

I do recommend to disable ftp mode in Joomla 1.5 and to set the group ownership correctly. But there are some setups which require ftp mode.

Check if uddeIM is able to write its configuration file. Usually uddeIM is not able to access it since the permissions are not correct when installed using ftp mode (uddeIM accesses the file directly and not via ftp).
