Help uninstaling components
« on: October 18, 2005, 11:26:11 AM »

I need someone to help me with this one.
Sometimes when I try to unnistall components (in my se Galleria and dbquery), Joomla gives me an error. The component is "removed" from the site menus and administration but the files aren't deleted. When I ftp and try to delete I get a permission denied error. I think that, and correct me if i'm  wrong, this happens because when someone installs a component trough joomla the creator and owner of the folder is a php file (on linux servers). Is there a way around this and delete the unnecesary files?

If you are unable to delete as well. Your only option is call your provider to delete it for you.

If you are try to re-install. Just rename it temporarily.

You can also try MamboExplorer component which is found in downloads' components section under Administrator folder. Maybe that one has a delete function.

Yes 99% of the time this is the problem - the owner of the file is apache. That's why you get the permission denied errors.

Rina is right, I've found MamboXplorer to be an indespensible tool for getting rid of these die-hards...
