Template Installation : gzip.php error

  • Template Installation : gzip.php error

    Posted 17 years 4 days ago
    • I have installed joomla 1.5.2 on Ubuntu LTS 6.06.2 (LAMP server installation) with last patchs. Only the next packages were added : openssh-server pure-ftpd unzip.
      The user used for ftp have good rights in all tree /var/www (rwx).

      I access to joomla from my windows workstation (firefox or ie7) in the same LAN.
      When i try to install templates i have this message :
      "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16756736 bytes) in /var/www/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 78".

      I have tried all solutions i found on the net :
      - activate .htaccess with "php_value memory_limit 32M"
      - modify php.ini to put "memory_limit = 32M" then 64M
      - i added in adminitrator/index.html :
      ini_set("memory_limit","32M");
      - i added in gzip.php the same fonction with 32M, 64M, 256M to get the same error.
      with 512M, i got this other message :
      Unable to decompress data
      Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: buffer error in /var/www/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 79

      For all tests, the tempates where transfered on the server : /var/www/tmp. The files (tgz or gz) are good : with "tar xvfz" or "unzip" i can decompress them.

    • Hello,

      What you can try is unzipping the template file onto your desktop and use ftp to upload the unzipped folder to yoursite/templates.

      Then check Extensions > Template Manager and it should show up in the list.

    • Hi,

      just wanted to say that I have the same problem here. Ubuntu 6.06 vserver Joomla 1.5.3.

      When i try to install templates i have this message :
      "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16756736 bytes) in ..../libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 78".

      No matter how I increase the memory limit in php.ini - the error still exists
      even at a limit of 200MB

      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 209715200 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 134053888 bytes) in ...../libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/gzip.php on line 78

      It seems just like gzip.php tries to allocate as much memory as it can get...

      Has anyone a solution? Of course I could upload the files myself but I'd like it better if the installer would work...

    • I would try the manual approach, i.e. FTP the unzipped file directly.

    • hmm... as I said before... of course the manual approach works but I'd really like to know what's the problem with the installer.

    • In that case, ask at forum.joomla.org

    • Hi, I'm new at RocketTheme and downloaded my first template today.
      When I tried to install received this error:
      Unable to decompress data - Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in...
      Then I tried to uncompress the file locally with WinRAR, but it didn't worked either.
      I sent the file to my server and tried to decompress there, and got another error:
      gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
      I tried with another template and is all exactly the same.
      What can be wrong?
      Thanks for your help.

    • I've got the same thing happening while trying to install the IRIDIUM template on a godaddy.com linux server (shared hosting). I have increased my memory to 64MB in the php5.ini file, but that doesn't seem to be enough to prevent the error. I have worked for hours trying different things that I found on various forums, etc. Nothing works.

      I created a info.php file that I placed on my site. When I run it, I can see that the memory has been changed to 64MB to reflect what I placed in the php5.ini. I have tried other values prior to 64MB and they were reflected in the info.php page as well - SO, at least that much seems to be working.

      I submitted a tech support question, but they have directed here... sincerely hope someone can help.
