Hi
I had installed on my localhost: com_akeeba-3.0-pro on Joomla! 1.5.18. I have a problem this error appear when I begin the restore with kickstart-3.0, on the online server: Could not open /var/www/vhosts/nameofmydomain.it/httpdocs/installation/css/img/busy.gif for writing.
Thanks

This is a misleading error. The problem really isn't in /installation/css. it is in the root of your site. Change the permissions on the root folder so Kickstart can write to it. It uses the root folder as a temporary folder to extract the files into before moving them to the final location.

Yes, give httpdocs 755 permissions and this should fix the issue.
