Hi,

I'm having trouble with my install. Has anyone seen the above error before?

I'm happy to manually install but I need clear instructions.

Thanks,
Shelly

Hey Shelly!
Thank you for the nice report!!! I wish all users were like you

So on some shared servers with not enough resources you can encounter this problem.

Try the following. Unzip the zip package and upload it to the server into the temp directory. Then point your joomla installer to the joomla temp directory -> joomla comment and click install. This will save the server those precious seconds of unpacking the package and then it should work.

Thanks so much Daniel!!! It worked beautifully.
