Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
It is a standalone script which uses the PEAR Archive_Tar class to extract the contents of a Joomla! tar.gz install or patch file. Simply place the Joomla! package file and this script in the root directory of your website and run the script from your browser.
The script was developed to allow installation on a sever which had no support for zip files and no control panel functionality for installing packages.
The script works with both the initial Joomla! 1.5 installation package and the Joomla! 1.5 patch packages. Whilst this script is designed to look for certain features in the package file names - so it can identify the file to install, it can easily be modified to uncompress other tar.gz files.
Hi.
In some hosting poviders it is usually a nightmare unpacking files. Most cases clasic unzip scripts do not work at all.
Sadly this script doesn't work for me. It show a message whith the filename to unpack, but nothing else happens.
I suppose will be some kind of permission problem...
