Problem with plugins after 1.1.2 Upgrade

[steven]

Yesterday I upgraded to 1.1.2. I added the Contact form plugin, but get a strange result. I get 2 stacked on the page.

Today I thought it might be a good idea to look for plugin upgrades to match the Serendipity Upgrade. Most of my plugins showed upgrades so I tried to install with Spartucus.

I keep getting errors similar to:

Trying to open URL lang_ja.inc.php?rev=1.9999...
Fetched 4079 bytes from the URL above. Saving file as /mysitepath.com//plugins/serendipity_event_backup/UTF-8/lang_ja.inc.php...
Cannot write to file

I changed the permissions on the plugins folder, but it does the same.


Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi!

On your URL, I do only get one contact form which looks okay?

The error messages come because PHP has no write privileges on the mentioned files. you need to fix those via FTP so that they are writable for PHP (i.e. 777).

Best regards,

For some reason, duplicate plugins were downloading and installing themselves. When I trashed one copy from the Admin Panel everything seemed ok. Strange.

I am still having problems with the Contact Form and About static pages. (all of my static pages to date). The headlines do no match the rest of the site. I don't know if I have a CSS conflict or a template corruption.

Any ideas on where to look? Thanks for the help.

It seems I cannot change the permissions. I have tried repeatedly with several FTP programs.

These files show ownership as httpd rather than the usual owner. Is this the problem? Is there a setting I may have set incorrectly? Is there a fix short of deleting the entire site and starting over?

Thanks

Hi!

Maybe fixperm.php on the s9y.org FAQ can help you?

I had to have my ISP reset the ownership/permissions. I am sure I have made an improper setting along the way and need to set things back to the defaults.

Thank you
