Serendipity Forums

Hello,

I am a new user to Serendipity.
Installed version 1.1.4.
FreeBSD 6.2, PHP 5.2.3, Apache 2.4, PostgreSQL.
Everything is running great except for spartacus.
I just tried installing a plugin directly from the UI.
Download is failing with the following error, which I have seen for various plugins. If I manually download a plugin and place it in the plugins directory, it works fine.

Error: serendipity_event_assigncategories:0642c68de27106dea2ddf1626987bbef (online_repository)
DEBUG: Plugin serendipity_event_assigncategories:0642c68de27106dea2ddf1626987bbef not an object: .
Input: Array ( [adminModule] => plugins [pluginPath] => online_repository [install_plugin] => serendipity_event_assigncategories [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?)

Hi!

To which mirror did you set the Spartacus plugin config?

Is the 'plugins' directory writable?

The plugins directory has 0777 rights.
Owner is www, group is wheel.
Both mirror settings are pointing to Netmirror.org.
All other settings are assuming system defaults.

Hi!

Was the Serendipity_event_Assigncategories directory created, are there files in it?

Maybe it can work if you manually create that directory and assign 0777 rights to it. Usually this is only related to wrong mirrors or missing privileges.

If that all doesn't work, I'm a bit clueless. Would you have temproary FTP Access for me to check things? If so, please contact me via PM.

The serendipity_event_assigncategories directory was not created.
I created it manually and now it appears to be working.

Thanks!
