I am newbie to Joomla! I am trying to install simple hello world component into my local site by referring this site.

But the warning is coming as below:

JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file
Copy failed
JInstaller: :Install: Failed to copy file /var/www/newsite/tmp/install_52832b764aa08/com_helloworld-1.6-part01 (1)/site/index.html to /var/www/newsite/components/com_helloworld/index.html

I have referred the other questions posted in stackoverflow too

In that, the answer was like that to change the version and tag to . But, the code which i am having, contains the same only.

Then what was the problem?

Did I miss something, while trying to install this component?

In your XML file (on line 2), seeing as you're using Joomla 2.5, ensure that it says version="2.5". Once done, in the Joomla backend go to System Information then Directory Permissions and ensure all the folders are writable. If you see some are not writable, you will need to change the permissions for them. Folders need to be set to 755 and files should be 644.

Hope this helps

  • Thank you for your reply. I had changed the version as 2.5. configuration.php file only was not having writable permission. Now i changed that. still i am facing the same issue. – Dhasneem Nov 13 '13 at 09:11
  • did you compile the hello world component on your own from the docs or did you download the package that they provide? You could always use a component generator such as [this](http://joomlacomponentcreator.codelydia.com) – Lodder Nov 13 '13 at 09:17
  • I have download the package that they provided. Then also, i have to use the website which u referred? – Dhasneem Nov 13 '13 at 09:32
  • How did hello world component compile on own? Shall you refer any link for that? I don't have any idea on that. – Dhasneem Nov 13 '13 at 09:37
  • What I mean by "compile it on your own" is did you copy the code from the Joomla documentation and create the files manually? You don't have to use the link I provided but I would recommend using a component generator as it will give you a good head start :) – Lodder Nov 13 '13 at 09:44
