Hi folks,
I’m all newbie about linux and Joomla. I’m trying to change my website layout through Joomla Extension Manager, but I get this error below:
“There was an error uploading this file to the server.”
It’s not the size of the .zip layout because it is <2mb. It has kb instead.
I’ve runned the ”chmod -R 755 /tmp/” but it doesn’t resolve my problems.
I’m fighting with this error at least a week, I’m getting bored.

Hi, the most common reason for this problem is that the File you have uploaded is too big. <br>The File Size Upload Limit on your Server is set too low to allow larger files to be uploaded. By <br>default PHP allows files up to 2 MB, but you can set to 20 MB to get rid of this error. <br> <br>If you have access to the php.ini, then change the directive upload_max_filesize to “20M” <br>and reload the server configuration.
