I get the following error message: File does not exist /home/ericrose/public_html/tmp/hikashop/controllers

I followed the direction from this page: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...-to-install.html#ftp](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/59-hikashop-how-to-install.html#ftp)

The three files extracted from the .gz file were:
hikashop.xml
hikashop_j3.xml
install.hikashop.php

These were ftp'd into my tmp directory as instructed.

I am installing it, or at least trying to, into a Joomla 2.5.9 installation

Any thoughts??

Hi,

You need to upload ALL the files of the archive in the tmp/hikashop folder, not just the xml files for the install from directory.

When I extracted the files that's all that was there.

Please try again. There are thousands of files in the HikaShop install package.
