Difficulties Installing new sidebar plugins

Hi Everybody,

When I click on the link to install new sidebar plugins this is what I get:

Sidebar Plugins

Trying to open URL package_sidebar_nl.xml...
Fetched 90393 bytes from already existing file on your server. Saving file as /var/www/html/templates_c/package_sidebar_nl.xml...

I do not have any problems to install event plugins.

Who can help? Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Albert

Hi!

Are you using Serendipity 1.1? Which Mirror did you configure in the spartacus plugin for filedownloads?

Do you know if you ever could install a sidebar plugin, or was it never possible?

Maybe you could disable the spartacus plugin and see if that changes things. It might be there's a corrupt plugin that blocks things.

The strange thing is that event plugins work...hm...

Regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin,

Thank you for your quick reply. I'm using Serendipity 1.0.4. I will do an update tonight and see if it changes anything.

I disabled spartacus> no result.

As far as I remember I was able to install sidebar plugins.

Regards,

Albert

Hi!

If you disable spartacus, you should no longer see that "downloading XML..." stuff, right?

Then the only reasonable explanation is that one plugin you have on your server contains a fatal PHP parse error and your host is configured to not display PHP errors.

Can you ask your provider to check the PHP error log, or enable showing PHP errors to you? Or maye you yourself have access to the error logs?
