I installed this excellent component on a test site, and everything worked absolutely marvelous!

Uploaded to a working site, and picked up an error in step 1:

Download Failed: Local output opening failed: fopen(ftp:// This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it : This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it :21//tmp/jupgrader.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: operation failed(43)

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

You're using a cpanel site by the looks of things. I wonder if PHP is getting confused by the duplicate @ symbols in the login. Do you have a valid local FTP account that doesn't use an email address as the username? PHP's parse_url function appears to behave properly.

Did your test site also have FTP mode enabled?

The double slash is a bit worrying too, i wonder where its picking that up from. It would be nice if PHP didn't hand out so cryptic an error message

Hi I have he same problem on any site I add to.

I have FTP active in CPanel but no email address just a standard localhost - login and password.

Download Failed: Local output opening failed: fopen(ftp:// This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it :21httpdocs/tmp/jupgrader.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: operation failed(43)

Any ideas as this would be excellent to add to sites!

Me too!

Exactly the same error. Server uses cpanel.

If I change to FTP that points to root of server rather than root for Joomla installation then the errors change to:

Warning: ftp_chmod() [function.ftp-chmod]: Could not change perms on /public_html/tmp/jupgrader.xml: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/administrator/components/com_jupdateman/libraries/joomla/filesystem/helper.php on line 100

Update file does not exist: /home/*****/public_html/tmp/jupgrader.xml

Parsing XML Document Failed!

Changing the FTP to the wrong location will more than likely confuse the process since it'll write to the wrong place. Check that the permissions are set properly but as far as I can tell it is a generic error from PHP.

The FTP login using the @ symbol that you mentioned above writes to /public_html whereas the ftp account for the server writes to /

The permissions for the tmp directory were fine but there was no file jupgrader.xml in the tmp directory.

Cpanel won't allow me to set up an FTP account that doesn't include the @url

Any thoughts?
