Update error

When I try to update the SermonSpeaker component from the control panel I get the following error:

-1 - An error has occurred.

Copy failed

This is on a Ubuntu Linux server, with write permissions enabled for owner and group.
PHP settings for uploads are: upload_max_filesize = 64M, and post_max_size = 64M.

Any idea what the problem is?

Try to chown -R the whole web directory to the apache user. I usually have this problem as well after I manually created a file with my own user.
And check the write permissions for the tmp directory as well

if you are using your own server and can change FTP settings it could also be this issue.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that all other sermonspeaker updates worked fine. It is just the component that gives me the error.

Did you check what I already wrote?

Also check the server error log, it may have an error message in it.

The error you see is not coming from SermonSpeaker itself, it is coming from the Joomla installer. "Copy failed" means that it couldn't copy the file. Basically there are only two reasons why that could fail: Either it can't write to the destination folder(s) or the memory limits are to low. Since you limits are quite high, it's most likely something with the permissions.

This did not work.
