Hi Everyone!

After manually setting the permissions in my directory I got the blank screen install failure. I am definitely a novice, and was wondering if someone could "dumb down" the following instructions:

"In most cases it means that your server is limited in resources and Joomla has no time/memory to unpack MobileJoomla archive (check your error_log for info about the error). Try to unpack it to Joomla’s tmp directory and do install from the directory."

I use bluehost and I think the above instructions mean to download it directly to bluehost's temp directory?

Yes, upload directly and use "Install from directory" method (docs.joomla.org/Installing_an_extension#Manual_Installation).

thanks...one question...I have to unzip it first before uploading to bluehost? the reason is that Joomla is giving me the "Please enter a package directory" response when I try to install it...I think I have the absolute path from the root of the filesystem correct....

thanks....I must be screwing up something that is terribly easy....the reason is that Joomla is giving me the "Please enter a package directory" response when I try to install it...I think I have the absolute path from the root of the filesystem correct....do I still need to manually set the permissions to allow access?
