    Creating/Installing a package which puts a file in the root directory of the website.

    Hi folks,

    I have recently being building a number of packages to deploy our website (layer upon layer) and wanted to include a new file in the root directory of the website (a favicon.ico file actually).

    The package gets created fine, but it WILL NOT install. The package installation fails.

    Is this a known issue?

    I am using 4.0.3 on a asp.net 3.5 installation

    My solution is to tell the person installing that they need to add the FAVICON file manually themselves. Not ideal...

    Thanks,

    Cameron

    Do you want to provide the reason it fails? Does the UI give you an error message? Have you checked the umbracoLog table?

    A permission problem is the most likely reason for it to have fail.

    Is the error Could not upload file
    System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array?

    I've noticed this recently when attempting unpacking a file to the root folder.

    Don't know if it's a known error.

    I guess I should add the solution I found.

    Remove the forward slash on the filepath before clicking 'Add'.  The file select folder adds it by default.

    So normally /favicon.ico would turn favicon.ico.

    When I go to install the package it never gets to the "I agree to the license" screen. 

    It takes a while and just eventually times out.

    Nothing gets written to the log.

    Chris, I will test your work around.

    Chris, I can confirm that your work around does actually do the trick for me too.

    Thanks very much.
