Spartacus problems

[kavo]

hello.
i have problems with Spartacus. i was browsing the forum, many threads about Spartacus but i still dont find solution. its about this thing, i can not install any plugin with Spartacus. i was trying to install Link List pluggin and i get this error:

Code: Select all

Trying to open URL package_sidebar_en.xml...
Fetched 86939 bytes from already existing file on your server. Saving file as /home/...../web/blog/templates_c/package_sidebar_en.xml...

Cannot write to directory /home/...../web/blog//plugins/. Please check the permissions.
Below is a list of installed plugins

my Spartacus settings are:
File/Mirror location (XML metadata) : Netmirror.org
File/Mirror location (files) : Netmirror.org
Owner of downloaded files : blank
Permissions downloaded files : 0777
Permissions downloaded directories : 0777

Hi!

Please us an FTP client to change the permissions of your "plugins" directory to "777", so that PHP can write there!

HTH,

ok. Spartacus works fine now.

i was try to install LinkList 1.97 plugin, its visible in a list of installed plugins, but i can not manage it, just delete and change permissions are available buttons.

Hi!

Some plugins have no configuration, like the linklist plugin. However it should put a new menu item in your admin menu on the left hand!

HTH,
Garvin

yes. statistics and user profiles plugins works fine on the left on admin page, but i dont see anything about LinkList. i see this:

Code: Select all

Hi!

Doh. I forgot that the linklist plugin also delivers a sidebar plugin which holds all the configuration.

So please look into the sidebar section again

Hello

Code: Select all

Cannot write to directory /home/...../web/blog//plugins/. Please check the permissions.

Please correct double slash "//" in code to one slash. I had the same problem as kavo with Spartacus before yesterday, and this slash showed me wrong way looking for mistake in php

After few hours I have found different way, permissions for folder 0777, and today I find the same answer on forum.

Thank you for correct the spartacus plugin code.

Hi!

Please correct double slash "//" in code to one slash.

Using "///////////" or "/" is the same for a filesystem so there is no need to change it. It needs to stay there because in some cases depending on the server setup a "/" might not be there already. For thos people, a "/" would then be missing. So it's better to have "//" than to have no slash at all
