In trying to install Easy Discuss, I encountered the following error:

-1 - An error has occurred. Unable to create target folder.

- I made sure the permissions on the component folder was set to 0775

- The files however did upload to the component folder, but I didn't get a successful upload message and I don't see the Easy Discuss component listed in the backend in the component menu.
Hello Kelli Riley.

This issue is shown when Joomla! does not manage to create a folder. Setting up the correct permissions for the folders where the component is to be installed should resolve the issue.

-edit the libraries/joomla/filesystem/folder.php file

-look for the following code (around lines 149-152):

if (!@copy($sfid, $dfid))

{

throw new RuntimeException('Copy file failed', -1);

}


and replace it with this one:

if (!@copy($sfid, $dfid))

{

throw new RuntimeException('Copy file failed'.'  '.$sfid.' => '.$dfid, -1);

}
