Upgrade to .9 Spartacus problems

[gizmola]

I have been having problems with Spartacus attempting to upgrade existing plugins. Here's an example of the output of one failed upgrade:

Below is a list of installed plugins 

Obviously what jumps out at me is the paths like: /sites/gizmola.com/blog//...

The Paths "//" can be ignored, it's purely cosmetical. "/" and "//" is the same on any Filesystem.

Garvin,
Ok, I thought it was curious, but the real problem is that the files can't be written by spartacus, even though the plugin directory is 777. Is there anything you can think of that would cause this to happen?

Notice:

Code: Select all

Cannot write to file /sites/gizmola.com/blog//plugins/serendipity_event_contactform/serendipity_event_contactform.php.

Are you really sure that all the directory /plugins is 777? Maybe the contactform directory already exists, did you check that?

Regards,
Garvin

Ok, I feel like a goob after this . Did indeed turn out to be a perms issue, even though I was so *sure* I'd triple checked that. I was a bit flustered after wrestling with Gentoo emerge borking my entire apache configuration. I've finally got things working although I still can't say why they work as yet, when they should have before and didn't.

Oh well, enough of my blathering, thanks as usual for your dedication to the cause Garvin!
