i'm using the sme 8 beta 5 at work trying to make us a complete server.
joomla installs and i can do anything but upload extensions.
there seems to be some kind of access problem ..
i have used the server-man to open every thing i can but nothing works.
joomla is set up in Ibay since we need more then one website..
i'm no linux expert so i have no idea which configs to change or where to find them in terminal.
any help would be welcome
with regards

Mving to General Discussion, since this does not concern SME Server 7.x core packages.

Please have a look in the log files, most likely /var/log/httpd/access_log and /var/log/httpd/error_log should give a clue what might be the cause of the problem. Please keep in mind that we are not behind your computer and do not have a (USB powered) crystal ball, I love to guess, but I guess that won't bring you nearer to a solution.
If that does not yield any clue you can try and enable PHP to display the error messages in your browser screen. Not sure if it works on SME Server 8, but the instructions for SME Server 7 can be found here: http://wiki.contribs.org/PHP#Display_Error_Messages

Joomla (by default) uses the /tmp directory to upload files. Have a look in /var/log/messages and see if you have open_basedir errors. If so, either change Joomla's upload directory to somewhere within the html path or change the open_basedir value.
See PHPBaseDir db setting here: http://wiki.contribs.org/DB_Variables_Configuration#Apache_server_ibay_specific_.28httpd-e-smith.29
You may also need to chown everything under the html directory to www:www so that the web server has write access to the folders.
(Note: DO NOT chmod anything in the html directory to 777, it is not recommended, safe or necessary).
