Permissions with Plugin Manager
Hi all,

I keep getting the following error off of a fresh 2.0 Installation:

Unable to install plugin: 'Unable to extract file: '/www/cgi-bin/admin/../bad_link.cgi' (Could not open /www/cgi-bin/admin/../bad_link.cgi. Reason: Permission denied)'

I am sure its silly. Can someone point out the correct permissions to set?

Thanks
Drew

Directories that need to be written to should be 777 and the files within 666 unless they are cgi/perl in which case 755

Is this path correct for your server?

/www/cgi-bin/admin/../bad_link.cgi

No as the plugin never actually decompresses. If it did I could change the permissions. But the error says...and I can conform...that it didn't decompress.

Is there a way to manually do a plugin?

Well when you go to install the plugin I expect you are asked for the correct path which you must fill in, then it should decompress.
