*Could not copy PHP install file.
is what i got when i tried to install babackup
the chmod of the directory to install was 777, and the owner was apache

**Failed to create directory
"/home/virtual/site155/fst/var/www/html/components/com_zoom/docs"
is what i get when i try and install com_zoom
again the chmod was 777

in both these instances it creates the directory in components but it does
not put anything inside them...
which is quite frustrateing.....i have had success with a component before
as far as i remember, but i think it didnt have any subdirectorys...

what is different about mamboxplorer than ftp?
and are u sure i could install it?
