Hi,

I'm trying to install the module data tables, when I install the file mod_aridatatables.zip get the following message:
* JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
* JFolder::folder: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
* JFolder::files: Path does not point to a valid folder or the folder has been deleted.
* Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

I follow the steps in the readme file, and installed the php plugin.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

This error can occur if FTP layer is enabled in Joomla! settings and folder permissions or paths (for example temp folder) are configured incorrectly. If you use FTP layer, you can try to temporary switch it off and install the extension. If you can provide temporary access to your Joomla! backend by email, we can investigate this issue in more details.

Thanks for your response.

I don't have enabled the FTP layer, this is the first time I've seen this error.

This is the second part of the message, sorry for don't show it before:

Similar problem is described on official Joomla! forum. Try to install the extension from folder. For this upload mod_aridatatables.zip archive to your server, unzip it (usually hosting panel like cPanel provides this ability), open Joomla! installation page, choose "Install from Directory" option, enter path to unzipped extension in "Install Directory" parameter and click "Install from Directory -> Install" button.

That worked.
module installed.

Many thanks.

I ve been trying to install this module and its plugins, one plugin I manage but when trying to install the module, i get:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/vhosts/3minutes.me/httpdocs/12points15/libraries/joomla/utilities/simplexml.php(302) : eval()'d code on line 1

when trying to install the system plugin, I get:
Error! Could not find a Joomla! XML setup file in the package.

Any tips how to get this solved?
