I’ve tried your solution, and it doesn’t work for me, instead of (…)com_installer/com_fabrik I’ve created com_installer/jpl and installed language package from it – owner of the language directory is wwwrun not my user

@Joy I think you have to open a ticket at your hosting help desk and they will change the permissions for those files. Right now those files can be modified by the user “nobody” that is set up by php as default.

Other that or delete them through a php script directly on the server (http://www.php.net/ftp – although I’m not sure if that will work)

Yea…what if i deleted all the files and just few left and i dont have the premission to delete them!
Yet i own the domain and the host.
I dont have premission via ftp and i dont have any joomla to do the changes on!

Im radically forked!
Ant ideas?

Hi man, that is the problem I didn’t solve…
But I can’t understand somethings…
“So I decided to try and install the component using the Directory Install Option.”
…
“The component installed successfully”

What component? Do u have a plugin which fixes ftp?
I didn’t understand how to fix it.. can u clarify it?
thx

…I have spent about 5 hours googling a solution to this (errors upon installing theme/languages/extensions)…
the strange thing is…there are a lot of hits with this problem, hardly any with a simple solution…
this is a big drawback of this cms i feel.
thank you for this though…it will be another try in an endless attempts of installing something extra on joomla

I think the hoops one has to jump through to get files to ftp properly in joomla are a big turn off.

I know it has alot to do with users knowledge of permissions and ownership but look at m$ , its soooo much easier, I used dotnetnuke for ages, and never had stupid problems like this.
