I see this was posted once before, with no confirmation of the cause. Does anyone know what the issue might be? Everything else seems to be working ok, just installing jDownloads gets this error.
Thanks.
Upon uploading and installing the jDownloads component (most recent available as of 1/3/2010), on a Joomla server (1.5.15) it pauses for an unusually long time (40-50 seconds when most installs give feedback within 5-10 seconds). Afterward it gives the following error:
