Hi Chronoformers!

I have recently moved my joomla site to another hosting service and the only thing i didnt moved along was ChronoForms. So now i have to install ChronoForms to the new Joomla destination but i'm having problems to do so. I use the Joomla version 1.5.23. I'm trying to use the ChronoForms_V3.2.0.zip - but when I press the install button, joomla answers me with this error message: Unable to move file. All my files have been giving cmod 777 permissions, but I still get the same error message.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to find a solution to this problem asap!๐Ÿ™‚

Best regards,
Morten Ols

Hi Morten,

A few people have problems like this: It could be that the site temp directory doesn't exist or isn't writable by the Joomla! user.

Another possibility is that you hare FTP enabled in the site configuration and the FTP user doesn't have the necessary permissions.

Have you tried a manual installation? That can sometimes get round these problems.

The tmp directory is created on the FTP. As told in the previous post, all folders and files have cmod 777 persmission. The FTP setting in Global Config is turned off!

I'm not that strong on manual installation. Shall i upload the zip or shall I unzip the component and just press install when it's all uploaded? I've tried with the zip file, but Joomla brings out a lot of error messages, such as, cannot find installation XML file or something like that.

Hi Greg

I have now tried out the manual installation, but it gives me multiple errors, here it goes:

And the final errormessage:
Cannot find installation package.

Do you have any solution to this? :/

Hi Mortenols,

It's pretty clear that the Joomla! User doesn't have permission to read the /tmp/ folder. Though I'm not clear why it is trying all of those sub-folders.

Maybe your isp has some security setting in place that is blocking access?
