Question Install Error

I'm getting the same error. I checked my permissions in Sys Info and all directories are writable. I also tried installing from directory but that's not working either (no error given though). I know it's not a timeout issue as that was my first problem which is now solved. I'm trying a fresh install of Kunena 1.0.8 with the following:

Joomla 1.5.9
CB 1.2
AEC (tried disabling hacks already)
Host- Godaddy

Any suggestions? Thanks.

@ indieadvertise:

Can you share us your exact error message?

I was getting the same error as mda1125: "Install Component Error" with nothing else.

I tried enabling FTP and now I'm getting the error "Unable to find install package" with nothing else. All other installations have worked fine, native or not. Legacy is definitely on.

I also just switched my host to JustHost and I'm getting the same error with both FTP on and off. Much thanks for any help on this.

It is a Joomla error message.. It looks like something happens before our installation script shoots.

Our package is over 1MB, so you should look your post limits in php.ini file. Did you upload the file from your own computer to Joomla installation? If so, try to use URL instead. Does it work?

I have tried to install from URL which also does not work. I get the same errors as my above post. Also, when I try to install from directory I get the error "unable to find install package." I'm going to try to install from a fresh Joomla installation when I get the chance.

Try to install some other component. And take a look at Joomla! manual. Usually this kind of errors happen on all extensions and are permission problems.
