Description of my issue:

I am uploading a joomla site 2.5 with Virtuemart 2.5 - I see that the shop url should be changed.... but I am seeing this error as I try to expand the site using kickstart.php : An error occured
Could not open /homepages/24/d226027395/htdocs/Elijah/Papas2012/libraries/joomla/form/fields/media.php for writing.

so what do I change and where are the files - I don't see the file referenced in the Troubleshooter posts... Thanks of course it's with a more mean than normal client drooling/// ;)

Having Virtuemart and the Joomla! version are irrelevant to your problem. You need to follow the "Akeeba Kickstart starts, but can't extract the archive, throws an AJAX Error, Invalid Archive Header or other error" troubleshooting instructions :) Hint: you'll most likely have to enable Kickstart's FTP mode and/or change permissions of existing files and directories.
