The only Perl Module missing on my installation is Archive::Extract. I couldn't install it by myself. Do I have to ask my hosting provider?

Hi,

I've got MT on two systems, and am having different problems on each. I've installed the prerequisite tar file as instructed. In one, I just get a 500 error, which seems to imply that the extlib directory isn't being searched, with the following in httpd/error_log:

Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Library/Perl /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.8.6 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6 /Library/Perl/5.8.1 .) at /Users/jaffe/Sites/cgi-bin/MT/pm-install.cgi line 6.

On the other machine, it says that I don't have a particular module (File::Copy::Recursive) installed, and that's not in the prerequisites file; I tried installing it by hand in extlib/File/Copy/Recursive/Recursive.pm, but it doesn't seem to find it (same problem as above, or just my ignorance about installing perl files?).

Any ideas?

Despite getting the "ok" from the prereq and perm check, I check the following error when I try to install a plugin:

XMLin() requires either XML::SAX or XML::Parser at ../../lib/MT/Bootstrap.pm line 44

Thoughts?

Btw, the above error was using the 'Plugin URL' option. Even after installing XML::SAX, the error persists. My understanding is that XML::Parser requires compilation, so that may not be an option...

I then tried to use the "Upload Plugin" method, resulting in the following error:

Error adding plugin: Insertion test failed on SQL error Column 'pluginmanager_config' cannot be null

I'm having the same problem as Andrew above with the (File::Copy::Recursive) prerequisite. I installed the tarball as requested, and everything else is fine except this one. Tried putting this in manually, and I can't get the installer to pick this one up.

Anyone know a way around this? Brad?

having trouble installing archive::extract as well. Can anyone offer some advice to a newbie please? Did my best to figure it out, but it's the only file not coming up correctly in the pre-req check.

Hey Folks-- This is not a UNIVERSAL plugin manager.

Two things to note:

1. INSTALL PREREQUISITE PACKAGE FROM THIS SITE.

My shared webhost did not contain ARCHIVE::EXTRACT, but it checked out after I uploaded the prerequisite package. Plugin manager works great!

1. ONLY CERTAIN PLUGINS WILL WORK AUTOMATICALLY

As for the SQL error and the XMLin() errors, you may ONLY install plugins that are configured for the plugin manager (i.e. contain a "mtplugin.pkg" file). A quick venture over to currently supported plug-ins lists 4, all Byrne Reese plug-ins. You will receive errors trying to install any plug-in without a mtplugin.pkg file. Until more plug-ins facilitate Plugin Manager, you are left to manual manipulation.

See info on mtplugin.pkg here: http://www.majordojo.com/projects/PluginManager/documentation/packaging_forma.php

unknown column: updated_on for class PluginManager::Plugin at ../../lib/MT/Object.pm line 278.

Fembat: I have found that you can create the directory manually & that will get by that error.
