Problems installing extensions - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi,
i complete novice, there's easy answer

i've been trying install editor jce plugin , yr.no weather extension site, following error when trying upload zipped folders in extension manager:



* jfolder::create: not create directory
* warning! failed move file.

i've read around forum on similar problems , seems might problem directory permissions... when go <help><system info><directory permissions> see log directory , temp directory listed unwriteable. however, when go file manager , check have permission all.

am on wrong track?

i appreciate help! thanks!!

turn ftp layer off , set files 644 permissions , folders 755 (if host runs suphp) , try installing again.

you can reset permissions connecting hosting account via ssh , issuing following commands in /public_html folder (on cpanel host). hosting providers it's /www or /html folder.

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
