Favicon is not being created

[kwpexpert]

Hi,

Can anybody help because this is driving me nuts, I'm using Phoca Favicon with Joomla 1.5.3 with PHP 5.2.6 and IIS 5.1, Phoca Favicon creates the thumbnail in the D:\Testing Server\Joomla\images\phocafavicon\thumbs directory, however it refused to create the favicon.ico for any template.

Best Wishes,

try to see, if you have some .ico file in the templates/your-template folder

The only .ico files are the default ones in the sample templates i.e. the original joomla ones in the D:\Testing Server\Joomla\templates\beez and D:\Testing Server\Joomla\templates\rhuk_milkyway directories.

so maybe you don't have access right for writing the file on your disc...

Try to add the favicon into the beez template, you should have two files there:
favicon.bak (old favicon.ico)
favicon.ico (new favicon.ico)

Download the favicon component from the server now, I have changed the if clause (for cases that there is no original favicon.ico)

it worked so: if there were no original favicon.ico, Phoca Favicon didn't create the icon
now it works so: if there is no original favicon.ico, Phoca Favicon create it

it is not your case, but try it ... first you should see your permissions...

Hi Jan,

There was nothing wrong with my permissions, it was the old Phoc Favicon component as your new one works like a charm and I haven't changed any permissions in IIS or elsewhere.

Best Wishes,
