I recently uploaded the DOCman component to my Joomla website, did the installation process as instructed on the Joomlatools website (EXTman first, DOCman second). Both installations gave me a Correct Installation message but when I click on the Components menu to check each component it starts downloading an index.php file.
I tried re-installing the components. Did not work.
I made a backup and uploaded my website to a Linux server. Issue didn't appear.
So, I'm guessing is a file permission issue on my server (IIS 5.8). I checked and all folders in my server are writable (used this as a reference: http://joomla-tips.org/configuration-tricks/joomla-and-windows-file-permissions.html). Tried this several times with multiple combinations, and reinstalled the components in Joomla. Didn't work.
I cannot uninstall the components because EXTman is the component to uninstall DOCman and IT DOES NOT WORK.
Just to point out, I had not had writting/reading issues in my server before this. I have virtuemart and other plugins installed that just ran smoothly.
Any idea of where I might check?
