[Closed] Error upon instalation of Joomla package files

Hey guys,

I have the following problem:

After pressing "Upload File & Install" I get the following error. I haven't seen such an error out of Joomla ever. What is wrong?

_install joomfish failed

Donnerstag, 26 März 2009

Trying to install Joom!Fish 2.0.2 Stable to provide multilingual content for Joomla 1.5.9 failed with the all explaining message:

"Unable to create target folder: -1"

Looking into the source it turns out that there must be a permission problem.

In the file libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php the following lines produce the message:

// Make sure the destination exists
if (! JFolder::create($dest)) {
return JError::raiseError(-1, JText::_('Unable to create target folder'));
}

changing the error raising line into :


return JError::raiseError(-1, JText::_('Unable to create'.$dest.' target folder'));

brings enlightment to the darkness. For me the fix of permission of the directories

plugins/system and
plugins/search

Yes this logical.

The error message says it was unable to create the folder. Thus it was likely to be a permissions problem with your directories. The error message is a Joomla message not a Joomdle message as Joomdle just uses Joomla's normal installation routine.
