Joomla Module Error

Question

I have an assignment to develop module in Joomla. I am following Joomla.org documentation. All is going well but I am facing an issue while uploading XML file. It gives an error when I try to upload it.

Error is:

JInstaller: :Install: File does not exist C:\\xampp11\\htdocs\\Joomla\\tmp\\Mod_Helloworld\\index.html

Module %s: Could not copy files from the source.

Documentation link: https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Creating_a_simple_module/Developing_a_Basic_Module

I exactly followed this documentation. And I also tried the other way, this way is simply copy to module file and save in Joomla temp folder but both are same error.

Answer 1

May be you put a copy of the xml file inside the admin/ folder in addition to in the root folder. If there is any copy of that templateDetails.xml file then just delete it and hope it works.

If your templateDetails.xml is declaring a folder named and there is no such folder then it will give you this error.
