Installation Problems

[BliXem]

Hi I love this component, I use it on my own website. I am trying to install it on a friends website but with no luck. I have tried everyting but nothing works. When I install in with Joomla auto install, it installs then asks to setup the database which is fine but when it takes me to the save config page and I click save, a popup window comes up asking if I want to save a index.php file to my desktop? When I go to the Components -> jevents, it does the same thing?

System info:

PHP Built on: Linux
Database Version: 5.1.54
Database Collation: utf8_general_ci
PHP Version: 5.2.4
Web Server: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.4
Web Server to PHP interface: apache
Joomla! Version: Joomla! 1.5.23 Stable
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0)

Directory permissions:

Everything is Writable.

Could someone please assist me. If an admin could help me I could provide a admin login.

Thank you.

1. Try enabling maximum error reporting on your server - any error messages?

2. Try increasing the memory for php

3. If this doesn't help make sure there are no security addons that may be overzealously blocking the form submission of the component parameters. Some apache addons limit the number of form elements or block some keywords.

I have an other installation problem.
I get a white error screen with the message:

Unable to create target folder

I t seems it has installed the files in the component folder (ftp prgogram), but there is nothing installed in joomla.

is there a folder I have to check for CHMOD?

It seems they have all a CHMOD of 755

I am a bit of noob around here. so please help me.

Use FTP to change the permission of the folder!

My problem is it does not install the database? I am using Joomla 1.7 and the newest stable version of JE

[Diveanx]

This is what I get when I try to install

1056 - An error has occurred.
Invalid controller: name='config', format=''

Return to Control Panel

try unzipping and uploading to a server and then install from the directory where you uploaded the unzipped package.

When I tried uploading the files via FTP and try the install I get "Unknown File Archive" Please help.

I have used this event calendar for a long time and want to continue using it on this new site so if you offer and install I would gladly pay you if you can do that for me. I just need it up and working soon

[Geraint]

unknown file archive suggests you didn't unzip before uploading
