Plugin installation problems using Spartacus

When trying to install some plugins using Spartacus, I get this error.
Code: Select all
Trying to open URL http://netmirror.org/mirror/serendipity/package_sidebar.xml ...
Trying to open URL http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/php-blog/additional......

Error: serendipity_plugin_mycalendar:e88ff0283d79abeaf15fed9252278a58 (serendipity_plugin_mycalendar)
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/blog/include/admin/plugins.inc.php on line 664
It is reproducible every time trying to install the My Calendar plugin, and randomly occurs for other plugins. It creates a dir under plugins/, and creates an entry in the plugins list (but it has the name of the last plugin, and then "Error!")
I am using s9y 0.8.1 and php 4.3.10-15 on apache 2.0.54. All permissions are correct.
Any ideas?

Did you try to open the actual URL that Spartacus tells you? Sometimes the SourceForge CVS download links do not properly work :-/

Check that too...the links both worked and I still got the error.

But there is no file downloaded to the mycalendar directory?
Could you post a "ls -la plugins/serendipity_plugin_mycalendar" output?

Sure:
Code: Select all
[kidgoo@tsuki]/var/www/blog/plugins/serendipity_plugin_mycalendar# ls -la
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 kidgoo www-data 4096 May 24 20:43 ./
drwxrwxr-x 59 kidgoo www-data 4096 May 25 17:39 ../
I did notice that there's a plugins/serendipity_event_mycalendar/ which is not empty:
Code: Select all
[kidgoo@tsuki]/var/www/blog/plugins/serendipity_event_mycalendar# ls -la
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 May 25 17:39 ./
drwxrwxr-x 59 kidgoo www-data 4096 May 25 17:39 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 9686 May 25 17:39 serendipity_event_mycalendar.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 3972 May 25 17:39 serendipity_plugin_mycalendar.php
Hope this helps, and thanks for the quick replies.

Hm, that's strange. Maybe you can try to go to your simple "Click her to instal ann event plugin" link and see if you can install the calendar plugin? Or maybe it's already working despite of the errors?

It definitely isn't working despite the error...
However, that did work--going to install it as an event plugin not through Spartacus. The problem seemed to be when trying to install through Spartacus as a normal plugin...
Hope this helps...

Good idea!
Out of curiosity I've tried to install My Calendar the way I knew it wouldn't work (via Spartacus as a non-event plugin) to examin the error more closely...Didn't shed much light on the situation:

For the record, it does install properly through Spartacus as an event plugin.
Without knowning much (anything) about the plugin system, I was thinking about the possible problems, and was wondering if perhaps it's installing things in the wrong order through the normal plugin's Spartacus interface. If it tries to install the event plugin before the normal plugin, and the event plugin is trying to call something declared in the normal plugin...a situation like that? Just a shot in the dark...
(Please realize I'm not nit picking...well, I am, but it's in good faith. I'm not meaning to be an annoyance, but this program is good, and I would like to try to help iron out all the bugs...)

Thanks a lot for this message! I think the error is in fact the loading of a "bundled" plugin. As you can see the plugin tries to install the depending sidebar plugin as well. It seems to me that there's the problem that it cannot find the proper plugin.
I will look into this next week!
