Getting a different error every time I try to install....

[limessl]

I decided to flatten the front end of my site because I had simply made it far too complex and the design was awful. I left the nbill database entries intact so I presumed that reinstalling the front end should be fine. Note that the site's basic set up hasn't been changed and previous installs of nBill worked without fault.

Now I'm getting stuff like this, it's usually something different every time. I've also had the failures saying ioncube isn't loaded.

* JFTP::write: Bad response
* Unable to write entry

---

* JFTP::store: Bad response
* JInstaller::install: Failed to copy file: /home/xxxx/public_html/tmp/install_4cee73d854ffb/proc/invoices.php to /home/xxxx/public_html/components/com_nbill/proc/invoices.php

---

Bit stuck as to what to try next...

This is the latest one....

* JFTP::store: Bad response
* JInstaller::install: Failed to copy file: /home/xxxx/public_html/tmp/install_4cee768c83da3/framework/ajax/nbill.ajax.client.php to /home/xxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_nbill/framework/ajax/nbill.ajax.client.php

Turn off in Joomla! configuration Use FTP Layer option.

Yes, these seem to be file permission problems - the files and folders are not writable by the user PHP runs under. Using suPHP solves this problem nicely, but in this case you need to either change the file and folder permissions, or use FTP.

Hmmm now I'm just getting errors saying ioncube isn't installed even though my global php.ini file references it explicitly and I've installed it manually on the local site.

Where the hell is the ioncube directory meant to reside?

It can go anywhere, as long as the relevant php.ini file includes a reference to the full path. When using a custom php.ini file to install ionCube, remember that you need a copy of the php.ini in both the root folder and the administrator folder. ionCube have released a wizard which can help resolve problems - try uploading the attached to your administrator folder, and navigate to it in a browser (delete when finished).
