Hello again!

I'm experiencing problems with Spartacus. It lets me see the online plugins, the problem is that when I try to install plugins per Spartacus, it saves the plugin as "Fehler" and gives the following error message:

"Versuche URL serendipity_plugin_geotag.php?rev=1.9999 zu öffnen...
12650 bytes von obiger URL geladen. Speichere Inhalt als /home/fb09a/g91231/public_html/s9y//plugins/serendipity_event_geotag/serendipity_plugin_geotag.php...
Datei '/home/#####/######/public_html/s9y//plugins/serendipity_event_geotag' kann nicht geschrieben werden."

and further down it says:

"DEBUG: Plugin serendipity_event_geotag:43254e4bf1ba811de790bfaef2804c19 not an object: .
Input: Array ( [adminModule] => plugins [pluginPath] => serendipity_event_geotag [install_plugin] => serendipity_event_geotag [spartacus_fetch] => event [action] => [adminAction] => ) .

This error can happen if a plugin was not properly downloaded (check your plugins directory if the requested plugin was downloaded) or the inclusion of a file failed (permissions?)

How can it create a directory named "//"? Writing rights for "/plugins/" are given, but there is no "//plugin/", so I can't give any writing rights.
What to do?

Kind regards

Hi!

///////////plugins is the same like /plugins. So you should simply check the permissions of your "/plugins" directory, make sure they have PHP write permissions (use chmod 777 if you don'T know about permissions).

HTH,

Thing is, I'm using a different platform now.

The server is the property of my firm, it uses a UNIX-system, as you might already have seen.
It also uses PHP 4.4.9 and, to be honest... I don't know jack shit about chmod 777, I wouldn't even know how to open a shell to get there, as I am in a different town right now.

I can manage read/write/execute permissions via an intern... program, if you so wish. "/plugins/" and the files/directories it contains have been given all three permissions and it still don't work.

Why?

Kind regards,
dilviel

Hi!

Oh, sorry - I didn't want to jump ahead of you. Also using FTP access you can assign a "chmod". Usual FTP clients offer you to set permissions through a right-click onto a directory.

"777" means writable for everyone and every user. You can make sure that it works with a simple script that you upload into the root of serendipity (where serendipity_config.inc.php is) with this content and a name like test.php:

Code: Select all

<?php
if (touch('plugins/test.txt')) {
echo "Touch succeeded.";
} else {
echo "Touch failed.";
}
?>


Then execute this script through the browser, http://yourblog/test.php and tell me what the output is!

HTH,
Garvin

[dilviel]

Hm.
It says, "Touch succeeded."

It seems I'll never get a hang of this programming thing... *mumbles*

Kind regards,

Hi!

That's okay! My script tries to write directly into the "plugins" directory, so if you execute it from within that folder, it tries to touch a file in plugins/plugins/ which doesn'T exist.

Please check if the "test.txt" file was created in /plugins (0 bytes)? Also please check if a serendipity_event_geotag directory exists in your installation? And if yes, which permissions does it have?

HTH,
Garvin

[dilviel]

Hi again,

the file was created. 0-byte-txt.

There is no folder serendipity_event_geotag though.

Kind regards,
dilviel

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Hm, okay. Can you tell me what your configuration options are for the spartacus plugin, how did you configure it? There might be a problem with that. Especially check if you entered any FTP details, and if so, remove them so that local filesystem access can be used.

HTH,
Garvin

The configuration of my Spartacus:

Have I already said thank you for helping me? Thank you.

Kind regards,

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

Hm, okay, can you try if turning off the option "Use directory creating using ftp in safe_mode?" might help anything?

Also please check if in your templates_c directory you see any *.xml files?

(And you're welcome )

Regards,
garvin

[dilviel]

Hi again,

I turned off that option, then he deleted 3 .xml-files. In the "templates_c"-folder, there are only php-files, as far as I can see. Weird names... *g*

I also tried downloading the Geotag-plugin again - didn't work. Same error messages.
There also still is no folder serendipity_event_geotag.

Kind regards,
dilviel

[garvinhicking]

Hi!

But after trying to download the geotag plugin again, there should be .xml files listed again?

I don't know what's happening, maybe the netmirror.org mirror could be done. Could you change the mirror location to SourceForge.net and see if it works with those?

Regards,
Garvin

[dilviel]

Hi again,

there is only a certain package_event_de.xml listed in templates_c.

I chose SourceForge.net and what I got is this:

Hi!

Okay, but at least now we know that downloads are possible, chmod is possible.

The only thing that remains is that your provider is using a firewall or apache mod_rewrite which disallows to fetch any remote PHP code due to security reasons.

You will need to download the plugin manually from http://spartacus.s9y.org/ and upload it to your webspace via FTP; you will sadly not be able to use Spartacus, unless your provider is willing to disable the firewall for you (which usually no provider does, if it's in place).

HTH,
Garvin

[dilviel]

Hi,

well... now that I know the difficulties I can get on working. Downloading the plugins manually is ok, I can do with that.

Thanks for your fast help.

Kind regards,
dilviel
