White screen during Joomla component install PDF Print E-mail

With the new version of Joomla (1.5.2) I now have trouble installing some components using "Extensions/Install-Uninstall/Upload Package File". All I get is a white screen with no messages or errors. I did find a workaround though:

  • FTP the file.tar.gz package file to a temp install directory on the server
  • gunzip file.tar.gz
  • tar -xvf file.tar
  • Install using the ""Extensions/Install-Uninstall/Install from directory" instead
    • need to specify the full path to the uncompressed directory e.g.:/home/symmetricdesigns/public_html/install

This hasn’t worked for me. I’m installing OS X Leopard onto a 16G Kingston http://rapid4me.com/?q=Kingston DataTraveler. I have tried this several times and it boots my wife’s MacBook Core Duo like a champ. But it will not boot my newer Core 2 Duo. It shows up in Startup Disk, but when I restart it eventually bypasses the USB drive and boots from the internal drive. I even cloned (with SuperDuper) a bootable Tiger partition on an external hard drive onto the USB drive, but same results. GUID is chosen. I’ve reformatted and even zeroed out the data on the flash drive, but same results. Thoughts? Thanks.
