Caution
You must check if the directories listed above the component list are writable! If the
directories are not writable, use ftp or JoomlaXplorer [http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/
joomlaxplorer/] to change the permissions. For proper installation, the directories should
be set to 777, after that you can change back to 755.
In the part Upload new component (or Upload Package File) select the file
'com_virtuemart_1.1.x.zip'. This is the package file which contains all files for the
VirtueMart Component, located on your computer (see Step 1).
Now click on 'Upload File & Install'.
Note
Since the ZIP file is about 2 MB in size, you will have to wait a moment while the file
is being uploaded to your server and unpacked. If the upload takes too long, try Step 4
or do the Manual Installation.
4. Alternative: You can unpack the contents of 'com_virtuemart_1.1.x.zip' and upload those
files to a directory in your Joomla! site (e.g /media or /tmp) using an FTP client. After you've done
that, specify the directory on the server from where you want to install the files and click 'Install'.
Note
Package Files are mostly a ZIP or tar.gz compressed file directory, which includes all
information for the installation. The main file is an XML document which describes the
installation process. In order to use this function for your installation, your web server
must support the zlib extension. You can check this in the Admin Section Menu
item, System > System Info > System Information.
5. The VirtueMart Component should be installed now. You'll see the Welcome Message Screen with
some options for the next steps:
