General problem with downloading plugins from Spartacus?

[Dawn]

Hi,

Yesterday I wanted to try out a few new plugins like the snapshot.com and the livecomment. Everytime I want to download a plugin, I get error messages like the following one:

Code: Select all

Fehler: serendipity_event_snapshotlinks:136eb42fadddeb97427644360e03ec04 (serendipity_event_snapshotlinks:136eb42fadddeb97427644360e03ec04)

Input: Array ( [adminModule] => plugins [pluginPath] => online_repository [install_plugin] => serendipity_event_snapshotlinks [spartacus_fetch] => [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?)

In the past it worked without any problems (but I had a similiar error with version 1.1.4 too). Is there an "official" problem with the repository or is it only an error which occures at my installation? I'm using S9Y 1.2 together with PHP 5.2.3 and Mysql 5.x on a debian box.

Here my Spartacus settings:
Enable the use of Spartacus for fetching plugins? Yes
Enable the use of Spartacus for fetching themes? Yes
Datei/Mirror Speicherort (XML-Metadaten): Netmirror.org
Datei/Mirror Speicherort (Downloads): Netmirror.org
Eigentümer der heruntergeladenen Dateien: www-data:www-data

Please let me know if I can provide additional information.

Greets and best regards,

PS: I couldn't find "serendipity_plugin_hitmaps" in Spartacus. But here on s9y.org I can find it at plugins.

Hi!

Can you please check this thread: http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=11 ... s+firewall

(Seems you can read german)

Hi Garvin,

Yepp, german wouldn't be a problem for me

I read the tread and can give you the following answer (in english because of the other english readers:

1. No firewall is enabled which would block such stuff.. I'm using iptables since the first version of S9Y and never had problem like this.

2. My plugin-directory has got the owner www-data:www-data and the rights 777.

3. and 4. As I said i use Netmirror.org and have enabled it.

5. The template_c directory is owned by www-data:www-data and has got the rights 777.

The strange thing about is I updated today another plugin (and a download occured) and that worked without any problems. Do you have other ideas? Should I provide you access?

Greets and best regards,
Dawn

Hi!

Hm, if that doesn't help, I'm a bit out of options. I can look at it, but it will take me 2-3 weeks before I have time for things like that again.

Garvin

That would be nice. Or please let me know if I can provide any information or try anything else... Or can I debug a little bit? I've got shell access to my server.

Greets,

Hi,

I had problems installing some plugins with SPartacus. I don't recall the error message at all. So I don't have any idea, if this is helpful for you. Sometime it only was a temporary problem with the database connection timing out. It sometimes worked the second time.

In my case I just downloaded the plugin(s) from s9y.org, unzipped it, and put the files on the public server using FTP.

Then again, ADMIN tool install plugins and it showed in the list and could be installed and configured normally.

Yours
John

Hi Johncanary,

Thanks for your hint, that worked

@All: It seems to be that this problem doesn't exist with all plugins but I noticed it with the snapshots.com and comment-livepreview plugin.

Greets and THX,
Dawn

I'm having the same problem with very similar settings. Would someone be willing to translate the high points of that German post for a poor English speaker?

Thanks,

GERMAN:

Lade das Plugin vom S9Y Server herunter.
Unzippe es.

Kopiere die Files in die entsprechenden Directories am Web Server

Fueher nochmals die Installation mittles Admin Oberflaeche durch. Das Icon zeigt an, dass die Files schon lokal verfuegbar sind. Dann einfach installieren und konfigurieren.


Manchmal handelt es sich nur um ein Timeout Problem mit der Datenbank. Dann klappt es oft einfach dadurch, dass man es nochmals probiert.

OKAY
Das war das wichtigste in aller Eile

Cheers
John.

Hi,

I just encountered this error and found this thread.

I have never needed to do this before, but filling in the file permissions masks with the values kindly indicated on the Sparticus page (mostly 0777) seems to have corrected this problem.

I hate to keep setting all files to 777 everywhere via ssh, it's very poor security, obviously. This solution will deal directly with the files concerned avoiding global chmod that can cause other problems.

hth,
