Installation 0.7.6

Good evening all.

Firstly let me start by saying how awesome this looks. I have been looking at various 'bridges' for my site, but this is much better. Great work.

In regards to my problem, I have looked through the various 'Installation Problem' posts but I cant seem to find anyone having the same issue as me.

I have both the 'editors-bb_0.7.1' file and the 'com_joobb_0.7.6' file. I am running Joomla 1.5.7 and MySQL etc all meet the required requirements.

The 'editors-bb_0.7.1' plugin uploads and installs fine. Once installed I enable this plugin as per the instructions.

When I move on to the 'com_joobb_0.7.6' upload I get the following after about 3 minutes of waiting;


Code

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage 

 
Most likely causes:

[list]You are not connected to the Internet. 

The website is encountering problems. 

There might be a typing error in the address.[/list]

This doesn't make sense as the internet IS connected. The Website isnt encountering any problems (apart from this one) and there cant be a typing error as I didn't type a URL.

I don't really know where to go with this issue or what to do.

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

R.

A 404 error would suggest that the link to JooBB is incorrect, please paste a link to your installation of JooBB.

Hi Chris B, thanks for the response.

I don't really know what you mean (sorry - it is first thing in the morning after all).

I dont have a link to the Installation of JooBB. I am using the 'Install/Uninstall' option within Joomla itself. I browse, select the file and hit 'Upload and Install' and then after a few minutes it dies.

I installed various other components late last night with no problem at all.

I was wondering if there was a way I could FTP the files across and install from there?

Re: Installation 0.7.6

Roo, yes you can ftp it and install from there. Your webhost or ISP may be blocking something vital. Lot's of those types of issues on Go-Daddy as I have to navigate them myself.

FTP into your webhost and move to the joomla directory. There you will find a /TMP directory and I would stick it in there after you unzip it on your local machine. Just upload all files and directories.

Then choose to install/uninstall and pick "Install from Directory" and point it to your path to the /TMP file so mine looks like this:
/home/content/j/h/html/camping/tmp

"camping" is my joomla directory as I use this install to maintain info for a campers group.

Goodluck,
Jeff

Jeff,

Many thanks for your assistance. I uploaded the Unziped files into the TMP file and installed from there. It has worked great.

Should I now delete the files it has left in /TMP? Or are these needed?

Thanks again for your help. I am sure I will have more questions the more I play around.

@Kris,

many thanks for the compliment.

You can delete the files in /tmp. Those are needed for the installation only.

@Jeff and Chris,

many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,
Robbie

Robbie,

Thanks, I will proceed to delete them.

ooops I am sorry for not reading your first post properly, I thought the problem you were having was that you had installed JooBB and your menu link to it was producing a 404
