Install jNews through FTP

In some rare cases you cannot install jNews using standard Joomla install, you may want to try to install it via FTP so that you will upload the jNews package by yourself on your server and Joomla won't need to handle this part.

  1. From the Joomla install manager, please specify the correct folder (the name of the folder you uploaded on your server) : .../tmp/jnews in the field "Install from Directory" so that the package won't need to be uploaded and extracted but it will be launched directly.
  2. Please extract the package on your computer. Then open an FTP connection (using FileZilla for example) and upload the extracted folder into your Joomla temp folder : /tmp/
