    Hi,

    My server runs on latest ISPconfig version with Apache, Mysql and PHP of course..

    I have more than one site on the server, static HTML, Joomla and Prestashop sites.

    I can't install any addon on Joomla or prestashop. When I try that, I get this error on both cases:

    ISPconfig Error.jpg

    On all my sites, I am using Fast-CGI with SuEXEC ticked.

    Any help ?

    Kareem.

    please, run
    Code:
    tail -f /var/www/yourdomain.com/log/error.log
    and show us the output.

    Simple reasons:
    1) If it's going about joomla, it could be /tmp directory permissions.
    2) You have wrong timeout settings at your server

    Thank you for your reply. I tailed the log and first it gave an error about the favicon.ico missing and I fixed that by uploading a favicon, then it gave another error:

    [Tue Mar 19 22:30:40 2013] [error] [client 82.37.187.108] File does not exist: /var/www/mydomain/web/favicon.ico
    [Tue Mar 19 22:30:40 2013] [error] [client 82.37.187.108] File does not exist: /var/www/mydomain/web/favicon.ico
    [Tue Mar 19 22:31:55 2013] [warn] [client 82.37.187.108] mod_fcgid: HTTP request length 133918 (so far) exceeds MaxRequestLen (131072), referer: http://mydomain/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer


    If this is a timeout, I'm not sure how to change that. I'll keep looking and hope someone can shorten my looking time :)

    It appears that I needed to increase the filesize upload to the server as it was limited to 2M. Thanks to this guide I managed to get it working!.

    Thanks for the advise to check the log file, don't know why I never thought of that.

    Kareem.
