 Hi, I am trying to install Template Creator CK ( http://www.template-creator.com/en/ ) and I am pretty sure that the admin tools are what is blocking me. I was able to successfully add it to another domain/site where I set up to test where everything is the same except that I had never added the admin tools. I tried reverting to an httaccess file that was the default before I installed the admin tools but that was completely unsuccessful. The error I am getting is as follows:

Error
There was an error uploading this file to the server.
Maximum PHP file upload size is too small: This is set in php.ini in both upload_max_filesize and post_max_size settings of your PHP settings (located in php.ini and/or .htaccess file).
Unable to find install package

I have checked my php upload size and it is the same in both domains (32m). On the one it works fine, the other not. The *ONLY* difference is admin tools. How do I work around this issue?

Admin Tools does not block you from installing extensions. Moreover, Joomla! itself in its very helpful error message that you pasted above tells you exactly what's wrong. In fact you can go to Extensions, Manage, Warnings and see further information from Joomla! itself regarding this issue.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: The php.ini file ONLY applies to the directory it is in. The php.ini file in your site's root DOES NOT apply to the back-end of your site (administrator). You MUST place a php.ini file in the administrator directory as well. Moreover, check with your host whether they allow you to override BOTH the upload size AND the post size.

I'm closing this ticket since it has nothing to do with our software. Please consult with your host about server configuration.
