Failed to create directory when installing Component / Module / Bot etc. Print

  • 0

When trying to install a Component / Module or Bot and receiving the following error:

Failed to create directory "/home/username/public_html/components/com_component/ "

Please check the following;

Configuration.php - check for trailing slashes, if so remove them, server path is /home/username/public_html not /home/username/public_html/

php.ini - check if this file exist in either your /public_html or /public_html/administrator directory, if so check if this file contains the message:

safe_mode = 1 or safe_mode = on

in that case change it to:

safe_mode = 0 or safe_mode = off
