Error While Installing Extensions

[lemiran]

Hi i'm on a Mag v1.9.3.2 website under construction here. Hosted on OVH Pro with Php7 activated on it.

Everything seems to function well but when i try to

> download an extension on magento marketplace

> go to the extenion install interface on my magento admin

In the black screen of the installation panel i have this message:

CONNECT ERROR: Package file is invalid
Invalid package name, allowed: [a-zA-Z0-9_-] chars

I tried with several free extension (for example popular BLOG https://marketplace.magento.com/aheadworks-aw-blog.html)

Is there a problem with

> my hosting configuration

> my magento installation

> installation configuration

Thank you very much by advance for your help!

Hi @lemiran

If you are trying to install it using Magento connect it may not work.

Try to manually install it after extracting the package. You may be facing issue because of php 7 as it is not officially supported by Magento for Magento 1x.

Hi @Mukesh Tiwari and thank you for answering me

My developper adviced us to activate the PHP7 in order to boost magento performances...

I dezipped the package but i have app/lib/skin folders and package.xml

How could i install it now?

Hi again @Mukesh Tiwari

I followed some tuto on the net about how to install an extension with ftp upload. I didn't now it could be so easy!

Log out and log in and Voilà!! My blog extension is there!

Thank you for your help!
