manually ftp installation

Post by berben »

Hi,
i have joomla 1.7 and i would like to install phoca gallery v3.0.2 by ftp.

I follow the second part of the documentation "https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... em-solving".
But at step 4, i need files in "front" directory but there is no "front" directory in "com_phocagallery_v3.0.2.zip".

Where can i find theses files?

if I try to install without theses files, no link (to access to phoca gallery) appears in components menu...

This guide will not work, because it's made for joomla v1.5
Please use this guide for installing large joomla v1.6/1.7 components. https://www.phoca.cz/documents/16-joomla ... -in-joomla

Kind regards,

Joomla newbie warning!

I followed the instructions and extracted the downloaded com_phocagallery_v3.0.2.zip file to my PC then uploaded it into the tmp/com_phocagallery_v3.0.2 directory. After which, I went to the Extension Manager and selected to install from directory. Regardless of how I provide the path I get an error after I click 'Install'. The error states "Please enter a package directory".

I have used the following paths:

- ./tmp/com_phocagallery_v3.0.2
- ./tmp/com_phocagallery_v3.0.2/
- /tmp/com_phocagallery_v3.0.2
- /tmp/com_phocagallery_v3.0.2/

Joomla Details:
- v1.6.5
- Running on Windows
- Hosted at Godaddy
- Joomla is installed in a folder named joomla

What am I missing?

Thanks
