Warning! Failed to move file - Error Joomla Extension Manager

2

Posted by Arsh | Labels: Joomla | Posted on Tuesday, May 27, 2014

If you are getting the following error - "Warning! Failed to move file" while trying to install an extension in the Extension Manager in Joomla! 3.x. Then it might be due to tmp directory write/ownership issue.
  • First make sure that tmp is writable. You can do that by Clicking System-->System Information-->File Permissions. If tmp is not writable, change permissions by chmod-ing permissions of tmp folder recursively to 777.
  • If tmp is writable, this issue could have been caused by ownership issue. The tmp folder might have been owned by FTP user and apache cannot write to it as you are trying to do in the extension manager. A simple fix is to delete the tmp folder and try to install the extension in the Extension Manager. If Apache can write to your home folder, it will create a tmp folder that Apache will own and installation of an extension will go through without a problem.
Hope this helps!

Joomla! is a great open source tool for making great websites with very little effort and absolutely no cost !

I wanted to host a website on my computer and I was really impressed with the features offered by Joomla! I found it to be a pain in the neck to install it on my Fedora 9 desktop though. So, I thought of writing a beginner's review of how to install Joomla! on a linux machine. The key steps in the installation are

1) Login as root

$ su -

2) Installing Apache server, MySQL server and php

$ yum -y install mysql mysql-libs php-mysql mysql-server php-cli php-common php-pdo php-mysql php-ldap httpd php

3) Configuring Apache server

Add following lines to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#**********************************************
ServerName SERVERNAME
NameVirtualHost IP_ADDRESS


DocumentRoot PATH



DocumentRoot PATH
ServerName SERVERNAME

#**********************************************

Replace the bold entries with the appropriate values.

4) Starting Apache and MySQL services

$ service httpd start
$ service mysqld start

5) Make sure to configure firewall to allow http connections to your computer

$ system-config-firewall &
Check the WWW(HTTP) 80/TCP box

6) Joomla Installation

$ mkdir /home/www/
$ cd /home/www/
$ mkdir Joomla
$ cd Joomla
$ untar Joomla 1.5
$ chmod -R 755 /home/www/

Making configuration.php writable
$ touch configuration.php
$ chmod 777 configuration.php

Open firefox (or any other web browser) and type
http://IP_ADDRESS/Joomla/

Complete Installation following page 8 of Joomla! v 1.5 Quick Start Guide written by Kevin Hayne.

$ rm -rf installation/
