NOTE: DO NOT BUY THIS MODULE. LOUSY SUPPORT FROM THE AUTHOR

Recently I bought the following extension from Soulofthenet to add extra functionality to my Hot Property Joomla! component from Mosets. You can find Soulofthenet extensions item from Joomla website as well.

My Propertymarket.com.my website is running on Joomla! 1.5.9 with Quickstart package from Joomlart website. I subscribe the 1 year membership for USD70 and downloaded the template title JA Cooper for Business. I also installed the beta version of the Hot Property component from Mosets which is version 1.0.0.4BT.

I got the following error after installing and enabling the module.

Warning:
require_once(/home/proptcom/public_html/administrator/components/com_hotproperty/config.hotproperty.php)
[function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in

I contacted the module owner (Ralf), and this is is his response,

Hi,

this seems to be the error from the Beta 3 version of our module. I will
check the download and see what went wrong.
I will send you a new version of the module in the next few hours.

Ralf

I will wait for his feedback and update this post as soon as I hear anything from him. Stay put!

I installed the updated package by first uninstalling the module. Installation was successful but the page display blank page when the module is enable.  If the module is disabled, Joomla! running without trouble. To verify the problem, I also installed the updated package on my development machine (running Xampp) with the same version of Joomla! (1.5.9) and the same template (JA Cooper for Businees from Joomlart).

However, the problem still persist and it shows the same blank page as on the live server.
