Installation Issue (Warning: Failed to move file!)

Hi all,

New here and tried to install Hikashop.

My configuration:
Backend: Ubuntu server 11.10 with Lamp/phpmyadmin/joomla 2.5
Frontend: Win 7 Ultimate

I did the follwoing:

1.downloaded the extension in win7
2.went to Joomla Admin->Extension Mgr->Install
3.selected the downloaded file named "com_hikashop_starter_1.5.6_2012-02-27.zip" and pressed Upload and Install

After that I got the referred error msg...

Is it permissions? What should I do next?

Sorry for my newby's questions...

thanks!
Leo

Hi, Thanks for the answer.
I did now FTP the decompressed directory and all of it's contents into /tmp/ of my home directory.

Now when I try to install in joomla it continues to fail giving the message that it cannot create /var/www/joomla/components/com_hikashop

If I try to create that folder manually via "sudo mkdir..." and run the installer again it complaints about other stuff:

JFolder: :files: Path is not a folder. Path: /var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_hikashop
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Component Update: Failed to create admin directory: /var/www/joomla/administrator/components/com_hikashop

Quite a nightmare really.

Do you have any advice?
thanks,
Frustrated Leo

Hi Nicolas,

Can you please list what folders i need to enable read/write/execute so I don't have to chmod recursive?

Thanks,
