Components Installer Bug? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

this bug or 1 time occruance. 

i had problem* docman, uninstalled in order reinstall fresh copy.  uninstall noted successful, not achieve new install because installer noted component installed.  docman not in list of installed components, nor under components tab.  manual uninstall didn't work.

* the initial problem:
table \'wingnuts_mamb1.jos_docman_groups\' doesn\'t exist sql=select count(*) jos_docman_groupsdb function failed error number 1146
table 'wingnuts_mamb1.jos_docman_groups' doesn't exist sql=select * jos_docman_groups order groups_name limit 0,10

greetings,

this known issue php, it's not joomla bug.  problem occurs when use php file system commands create  folders (i believe bug affects folders)... folders created owned user "nobody" instead of under username... when try delete folders via uninstall (manual or otherwise) denied access because not "own" folder.

i periodically have host chown files on account username because run number of scripts end having problem...

hope better explains issue.  best of luck.
