Difficulty installing Joomla from Applications

coolemail2

Basic Pleskian
I am trying to install Joomla from the Applications page. We have done it a lot before. It is failing saying:

Error: Installation of joomla at http://domain.co.uk/url-we-use failed. Non-zero exit status returned by script. Output stream: 'PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/application/web.php on line 869 PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/uri/uri.php on line 96 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DirectoryIterator::getExtension() in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/cms/installer/installer.php on line 2254 '. Error stream: 'PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/application/web.php on line 869 PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/uri/uri.php on line 96 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DirectoryIterator::getExtension() in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/cms/installer/installer.php on line 2254 '.

We have:
OS CentOS 6.7 (Final)
Panel version 11.5.30 Update #51

Can anyone advise?
 
Hello,

Try to use 'clear cache' option under Tools&Settings > Application Vault
 
Error very similar:

Error: Installation of joomla at http://domain.co.uk/url-we-use failed. Non-zero exit status returned by script. Output stream: 'PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/application/web.php on line 869 PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/uri/uri.php on line 96 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DirectoryIterator::getExtension() in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/cms/installer/installer.php on line 2254 '. Error stream: 'PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/application/web.php on line 869 PHP Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_HOST in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/joomla/uri/uri.php on line 96 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method DirectoryIterator::getExtension() in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use/libraries/cms/installer/installer.php on line 2254 '.

I notice that in /var/www/vhosts/domain.co.uk/httpdocs/url-we-use
there is only a tmp file and a configuration.php file

so is it not unpacking for some reason? Just a thought.

I'm having exactly the same issue on a similar server setup:
OS CentOS 6.7 (Final)
Panel version 12.0.18 Update #74
Been happening for a month or so and also get similar errors if trying to update a Joomla application. In that instance there is an error message but the app does seem to actually update. New installs I am having to do manually.
 
Having the same problem. Really needing to install Joomla but Plesk is giving me exactly the same error as quoted above.

Just to clarify, manually installing Joomla (ie FTPing a fresh copy to the server) works fine, so it might be something in the script.
