Install plugin:"Unable to extra file"

Install plugin:"Unable to extra file"
Moving to a new server & did a fresh install via telnet. Then copied templates & def. Everything is working except my pluggin install. I am getting the error below:


Quote:
Unable to install plugin: 'Unable to extract file: ....Permission denied
I tried changing permissions on files such as plugin.cfg, yet they won't change with my ftp or with Fileman (nobody owns them). I assume when I upload plugins they are owned by Nobody. Yet not sure why the plugin.cfg is since I installed via telnet... Could that be the issue?

Plugin 777
- Installed 777
- Unintalled 777
--- CAPTCHA.tar 644
plugin.cfg 666

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sounds like it can't extract a file (usually not the .pm file, as it looks like you have the folder CHMOD set right for that)

If you go in Plugins > Plugin Manager, and click "Edit" next to "CAPTCHA" , what list of files are there in the plugin?

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Files below are listed for Captcha. I get the same problem with any plugin I try to install. They all worked fine on my old server. I also tried FTPing the plugins to see if that would work.

Install.pm (11669 bytes)
CAPTCHA.pm (27737 bytes)
captcha.cgi (869 bytes)
captcha_build.php (9680 bytes)
captcha_verify.php (649 bytes)
Is it correct to have plugin.cfg owner by the server (nobody), while all other files are owned by me?

Thanks!

Shoot over FTP and GLinks access if you want, and I'll have a look for you. Could be just a CHMOD issue - or you may need to [or get your host to] CHOWN the files, so they are owned by the right user.

Andy fixed it Wink

I had my main Glinks & admin folder set to 755 instead of 777.

Thanks!
