Question

I am having problems upgrading plugins using the Find TWiki Extensions interface in the configuration interface.

I have tried upgrading both the CommentPlugin and the EditTablePlugin. In both cases the plugin appears to install; however, I get the following warning:

Warning: No CommentPlugin_installer.pl script found in archive

I get a similar warning for EditTablePlugin. If I look in my twiki directory I can see that the installer scripts are present: CommentPlugin_installer and EditTablePlugin_installer, but they do not have the .pl file extension. As well, they are not executable.

If I go to either the CommentPlugin or EditTablePlugin topic my TWiki web the version has been updated, but if I go to the InstalledPlugins topic, the old versions are shown. I would like to get this working properly if possible.

Environment

TWiki version: TWikiRelease04x01x01
TWiki plugins: DefaultPlugin, EmptyPlugin, InterwikiPlugin
Server OS: Debian Linux 3.1, kernel 2.6.18
Web server: Apache 2.2.3
Perl version: 5.8.8
Client OS: Windows XP
Web Browser: Opera
Categories: Plugins

ALERT! If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

That's a bit strange; the installer is supposed to execute the _installer script (without the .pl extensions. I wonder if there was a mixup when mergeing. I will check.

OK, I confirmed that plugins uploaded with no .pl on the installer script won't get installed. frown

Thanks, Crawford. Version 4.1.2 runs the script now.
