Spartacus not connecting

Hi there again,
I'm having trouble with Spartacus on my site. When I use it to try and install a plugin it crashes out with the error:
Code: Select all
Connection refused
Notice: Connection refused in (path edited out)/blog/bundled-libs/PEAR.php on line 848
Connection refused
Having searched this forum I can confirm that this isn't a firewall problem (the <?php include '
www.google.com';?> test file works fine). My hosts also deny that this is the issue and they say that port 80 isn't blocked for outgoing connections.
Anyone got any other ideas? Thanks.

Hi!
Which mirror did you configure for the spartacus plugin? You might want to try the netmirror.org one...
Best regards,
Garvin

Thanks Garvin - that fixed it!
Up to a point.
Now I get a series of errors saying the files cannot be written, and then some PHP warnings saying things like:
Code: Select all
Warning: mkdir(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 11089 is not allowed to access (path)/blog/plugins/serendipity_event_staticpage owned by uid 10795 in (path)/blog/plugins/serendipity_event_spartacus/serendipity_event_spartacus.php on line 209
Since my host refuses to turn safe_mode off I guess I'm out of luck with Spartacus
Thanks for your excellent support anyway, Garvin.

Hi!
Spartacus does not properly work in PHPs Safe Mode, unless you change the owner of the directory /plugins to the owner of your PHP process. In most setups you can't do that though, because of those security restrictions.
But downloading the plugins manually from
http://spartacus.s9y.org/ is also not that hard, I hope
Best regards,
Garvin
