Hi.
I'm trying to update my CB 1.2.2 to 1.4
My host provider is not willing to change the maximum PHP upload size. (2mb is the default limit)
So, any attempt to upload the "com_comprofiler" using "Upload Package File" or "Install from Directory" has fail.
Upload package file = bounce back to the Joomla "Control Panel"
Install from directory = "Please enter a package directory"

I had done my homework, search Google and read the "README-NEW-INSTALL" and "README-UPGRADE",
I'm stuck...

Please help, Thank you.

[solved!]
If you have the same issue, all you have to do is to UNZIP the "com_comprofiler.zip" and upload it to "/home/sitename/public_html/tmp" folder. and then use the "Install from Directory" to install it:
"/home/sitename/public_html/tmp/com_comprofiler"

my mistake was that I tried to install the "com_comprofiler.zip" file... :pinch:
Hope that's help to anyone... B)

I tried to do upgrade from 1.2 to 1.4 as you suggested by unzipping com_comprofiler in the tmp folder.

I keep getting an error saying; [unable to find install package]

Did you encounter this?

Check the path you are installing from.

The path mentioned here: "/home/sitename/public_html/tmp" folder, may not be the same as you have.
Mine for example is: "/home/sitename/tmp"

I also normally open the package (com_comprofiler) and then put it in the folder.
In other words NOT as a ZIP file. Not sure if that is important...

thanks for the help. I actually did extract the com_profiler in the following folder:

/public_html/tmp/comprofiler

When I use the admin install panel, it still tells me [unable to find install package]

is there a different install file that I should be calling.
