Hello dear users,

is there somebody that can help me, I installed the JEvents with no problem.
than there is an message: "Go to EVENTS CONFIG SECTION first and change EMAIL adress"
I fill in the right adres but when I click the save button, it takes a few minutes and nothing happens, it just hangs in the same screen.
Does anybody now what I should do? Please Help.

what version of JEvents?

I would first check the permissions on

/administrator/components/com_events/events_config.ini.php

the new email address will be written to that file.

What shoudl the permissions read? I am having the same problem! I have the owner rwx and everyone else is read and executable. Thank you

The required permissions depend on the file ownership and server setup. There is no one right answer. Your rwxr-xr-x (755) should be right, but if it still doesn't work, go to rwxrwxr-x (775). You don't want rwxrwxrwx (777) but there are server setups that require it. I wouldn't expect your long delays with just a file permission problem. It should be able to figure out that it can't write to the configuration file pretty quickly.

I am having the same problems. I orginally installed eventlist and then decided that I wanted to change over to jevents. I uninstalled eventlist and installed jevents but I keep getting the same error. I even get it in different parts of my administrator pages such as "global checkin" or "article manager" but it only seems to happen after a failed attempt to go into the "manage events" or "configuration" section of Jevents... I dont get an error when going into "manage categories".... I have also just upgraded to joomla 1.5.10 hoping that this might help but it hasnt.. I have tried updating the permissions as mentioned above but that made no difference either....

Any more ideas please as I really want to use your component.... PLEASE HELP.....

OK, I am anwsering some of my own question.. I have joomla 1.5.10 and I installed what I thought was the right version of j events for my version of joomla but it turned out to be the wrong version of 1.4.2 but I really needed 1.4.3cr2.. after reinstalling this new version 1.4.3cr2 it now says on my administrator area that the version of j events is actually 1.5.0rc... which i do not want as I wish to incorporate a registration system with this and its not supported yet... whats going on with the versions.. I know for sure that I have installed the package 1.4.3cr2.. can you please double check this package..

thankyou
