I installed Joomla on a website on Windows Azure. After trying to update the Joomla version or uploading a new template I get the following error
JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning: Failed to move file!
For me it's clear that the problem is regarding permissions, so the question is, how can it be solved?
Since the Azure architecture (basically the replication) makes you difficult to just change the permissions of the folders, and it is not possible to modify the folder permissions on a Windows server using FTP, I feel like I'm on a dead end.
It should definitely be possible. When installing a component JFolder::create is called several times.
I think that you are passing a wrong path or something to the actual call. Have you tried a simple test using the native mkdir()?

I made a program trying to see how many color pages are on an uploaded PDF file, using Ghostscript. Now, it worked perfectly on my local environment, but I can't put the site online, as the web hosting service I use tells me that any application that needs root access cannot be installed on the server. Is it the case with Ghostscript, and if so, is there any other way I can use it ?
I'm new to all this, and I know now I should have asked the web hosting service first thing, but I'd really like to not have to put my work in the bin over this !
No Ghostscript doesn't require root privileges and I've no idea why they would claim it does. Also, I would strongly urge you to review the AGPL license.
I have an application, which is getting installed C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder\InstallDir.
I have another application which is also getting installed in same root folder , eg:
C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder\InstallDirofAnotherApp.
Here when I am trying to reinstall my application, it is deleting the entire Root Folder, It doesn't mind about the another installation of the other one.
So, it is deleting C:\ProgramFiles\RootFolder
Is there any setting to do like that? This is a legacy project and I am new to this. Unable to fine the cause
Thanks,
Nanda
What type of projects are these applications (basic MSI, or InstallScript)? Check [INSTALLDIR] (General Information -> INSTALLDIR) in both packages; if these properties are different, see if there is any custom action that perhaps delete some files/directories.
I am trying to deploy an application and I get the following exception
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800719F3): Filename:
\?\C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config Error:
Cannot write configuration file
I have many applications already hosted on the same server and have never faced the same issue. I am unable to create AppPool manually as well.
Something that you could do is go to inetpub/history and try using an older file that is not corrupt (you can use notepad++ to compare both for example).
Take care with the modifications directly on the file and the encoding used when editing .. I would recommend doing the changes via GUI or APPCMD/PowerShell to prevent this.
I am trying to install a package (oForms) with a new Orchard 1.8 installation, but receiving the following error:
"Package installation failed: There was an error installing the requested package. This can happen if the server does not have write access to the '~/Modules' or '~/Themes' folder of the web site. If the site is running in shared hosted environement, adding write access to these folders sometimes needs to be done manually through the Hoster control panel. Once Themes and Modules have been installed, it is recommended to remove write access to these folders."
This seemed rather straightforward, however my host has confirmed permissions are fine (and even added Everyone/Full Control to the folder), so I'm lost and appears to be happening with all modules from the Gallery, not just oForms. I changed the Config/log4net.config file to log everything, and I don't see anything specific in there except where it logs the same message above. Nothing outside of that stands out at all.
Is there a way to see why this is failing? Or, if not, is there a way to get the module and install it manually? I tried to download from the gallery, but it's just a NuGet package so I'm not sure how to take that and grab the raw module files.
You can use a program like 7zip to unzip the nuget package, then copy in the module manually yourself.
As for the permissions, when adding a new permission to the folder use:
IIS AppPool\name of your application pool
I also had this exact error message when installing modules from the gallery, and it took me a while to figure out what was happening. I made new installations, copying over files one-by-one, and eventually found the culprit. For my case anyways...
For me, it was all due to a bad formatting in my custom Theme. Specifically the Theme.txt file. The line where is says Version:, I had it formatted without any "."
Good:
Version: 1.0
BAD:
Version: 1
Yes, doing this simple mistake prevented me from installing Modules.
I recently upgraded to apex 4.0.1
but when I access 127.0.0.1:8080/apex and login it the page doesn't respong
and another thing ... the page is supposed to have some photos but it doesn't appear
so when I view the source code of the page and open any of the JS files / photos directories / css files
I get this
404 Not found
Not found
The requested URL /i/css/apex_4_0.css was not found on this server
I have ubuntu 11.04
There's two steps to the upgrade. The first is (mostly) installing the APEX_040000 objects. The second uploads a bunch of files into the database.
Make sure you carried out the second step correctly as documented
It is two steps because, if you are using the Oracle Apex Listener or HTTP Server then you'd put those files on a file system somewhere, rather than in the database.
It sounds like your config file is messed up in some way. Check the configuration to verify that it is directing traffic on port 8080 to the correct directory. Here is a link to how to find the Apache config file and how to read it:

The only other thing I can think of is that the directory does not exist. Maybe it got deleted or moved.
