Trying to update EasySocial and it stalls out at 15% "Initializing Admin Files".

After checking the forums I changed the max execution time in php from 30 to 300 and I am still getting the issue.
It seems like you hitting this error : 



An error has occurred.

-1 Copy file failed


Can you try rename this folder under JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial then try upload the latest launcher installer from backend installer page and see how it goes?

If the issue still persists, can you update your site FTP access so we can better have a check?

I got passed the error by uninstalling EasySocial, and starting a fresh install.

Actually you no need to uninstall EasySocial, what you need to do is rename this folder under JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial then try upload the latest launcher installer from backend installer page and proceed that installation again.

Perhaps you can update your site FTP access so I can assist you now?

i solved this by:

chmod -R 777 html/components/com_easysocial
chmod -R 777 html/administrator/components/com_easysocial

after updating it seems that all directorys and files have the old (safe) permissions again.

I wouldn't encourage to set chmod to 777 which is extremely dangerous.

The best is consult with webhosting provider regarding this and make sure your webuser have the write permission for those folder/file directory.
