Re: I cannot install extentions in My new Joomla CMS.
The "Unable to find package" error in Joomla typically occurs when there is an issue with the extension package or the installation process. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:
Verify the Extension Package:
Ensure that the extension package you are trying to install is compatible with your Joomla version.
Check that the package file is complete and not corrupted. Try downloading it again from the official source.
Upload the Correct Package:
Ensure that you are uploading the correct package file (usually a .zip file). Do not unzip the file before uploading it to Joomla.
Increase PHP Settings:
Sometimes, PHP settings can limit the ability to upload and process larger files. Increase the following settings in your php.ini file:
After making these changes, restart your web server.
Check File Permissions:
Ensure that the /tmp directory and other relevant directories in your Joomla installation have the correct write permissions. The /tmp directory is used to temporarily store the extension files during installation.
Install from URL:
If you are having trouble uploading the package, try installing it directly from a URL. Go to Extensions -> Manage -> Install, and use the "Install from URL" option.
Clear Joomla Cache:
Clear your Joomla cache to ensure there are no cached files interfering with the installation process. Go to System -> Clear Cache, select all, and delete.
Check for Extension Conflicts:
Disable any existing extensions that might be conflicting with the installation process. Sometimes, other extensions can interfere with the installation of new packages.
Enable Error Reporting:
Enable error reporting in Joomla to get more details about the error. Go to System -> Global Configuration -> Server, and set "Error Reporting" to "Maximum." This can provide more specific information about what is causing the issue.
Install Manually:
If all else fails, you can try to install the extension manually. Extract the extension package on your local machine, and upload the extracted files to the /tmp directory on your server. Then, go to Extensions -> Manage -> Install, and use the "Install from Directory" option, specifying the path to the uploaded files.
If you continue to experience issues after trying these steps, it would be helpful to know more details about your Joomla setup (version, server environment) and the specific extension you are trying to install. This information can assist in providing more targeted help.

Code: Select all
upload_max_filesize = 10M
post_max_size = 10M
max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 300
