Hi.

I'm using Joomla 1.5, and I am trying to install Xcloner but I get this module install error.

Component Install: DB function failed with error number 2006

• MySQL server has gone away SQL=INSERT INTO jos_components VALUES( 0, '.XCloner-Backup and Restore', 'option=com_xcloner-backupandrestore', 0, 0, 'option=com_xcloner-backupandrestore', '.XCloner-Backup and Restore', 'com_xcloner-backupandrestore', 0, 'js/ThemeOffice/component.png', 0, '', 1 )

I am installing from my Public_html/tmp folder.

Man, I can now understand why I like Windows, linux can really be a hardcore pain to understand.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks...

The issue appears to stem from mysql, not the fact that its linux. The most i can offer is to try again and reply if the error message happens all the time.

Hi.

Thank You. Now that I know what it means I won't be so worried.
