Hi, which error you exactly get? Did you test your Joomla! installation? As components are installed by Joomla! extension manager, not by Phoca self.

I had a similar problem with Akeeba on wamp localhost but solved it by unzippng to a folder in the /tmp directory. But with Phocagallery ... like I said in my first post I get the error
"Error

Please enter a package directory"


It appears not to be recognising the xml file

Just tried it on a live server ... it took a while but it installed SUCCESS

The problem is with with localhost

Change
upload_max_filesize = 2M
to
upload_max_filesize = 10M

Installs with errors ... in Joomla Global config set 'Error reporting to minimum and php errors are not seen.
