You must forward all neded ports (e.g. 80 and 81) from your router to your ISPConfig box.

In order to avoid seeing the Shared IP page, you must use www.mysite.co.uk in your browser's address bar to access www.mysite.co.uk, nothing else (e.g. IP address, ...).

Yes falko spot on,
I pointed all ports to ispconfig and deleted all ports pointing to Windows XP Pro server.
I just had to change the permissions in web2 to allow joomla to install.

However there must still be a permission problem because i cannot install any modules or components through Joomla back end.

Any error messages?

[shajazzi]

Yes, the the error messages i am getting are:

Upload component - Upload Failed
ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package.
[ Continue ... ]
Upload component - Failed
Installation file not found:
/srv/www/web3/web/media/install_43bc6528e164d/
[ Continue ... ]

I checked the component and the XML does exist

Also i get similar errors when trying to install modules.

This looks as if it'S entirely related to Joomla. Did you ask the Joomla guys?

[shajazzi]

I haven`t as yet,Although i still think it`s a permissions problem somewhere. I tried to load the joomla patch and it just gets kicked out. Meanwhile I`ll give joomla forums a go and let you know how I get on.

To which directory does Joomla try to upload the file? What are the permissions of the directory, to which owner and group does it belong?
Who is your Apache owner and group?

[shajazzi]

I`ve deleted joomla and installed a copy of mambo that installs on my windows server Ok every time.
When i installed it to www.mysite.co.uk it installs ok but i still can`t install any new components or modules.

My apache owner is root and group is root

Owner: can view & modify content
Goup: can view content
Others: can view content


Thanks

I use Joomla on several different sites, and it works great and have never had any problems install modules or components onto it.

How and where are you trying to upload from?

Incase you havent tried yet, at least what works for me, download the .zip or .gz file to your Linux Desktop, then in the Install Components page in your Joomla Admin area, there are 2 options of install. 1) is "Upload Package File" and 2) is "Install from directory", obviously install from directory and use the path to the appropriate file on your desktop. You shouldnt even need to unzip/gunzip it, as Joomla will handle this for you

Also under Install from directory, please be sure that yours looks like this:

media/ Writeable
administrator/components/ Writeable
components/ Writeable
images/stories/ Writeable

And if not, then a simple chmod 700 -R to your joomla dir will fix that.

Hope this helps.
