Geeklog Forums

I've upgraded Geeklog to 1.3.10 and I tried to install 4 different plugins and the installation of all of them failed.

When I try to install it, it shows a blank white page. The installation of all of them seem to stop in the middle (I checked in error.log for this), it creates the tables in the database and the group users. The Plugin Editor keeps telling me that it is not installed, I've checked that I've placed the files correctly and tried to install them multiple times but they are still not working.

The plugins I've tried are: External Pages plugin, file management plugin, faqman plugins and the menu plugin.

Is this a bug/known issue?

Any help would be much appreciated.

No known isssue - what errors are you having?
Are they all the same.

Yes, all the same. The installation stops half-way, it creates the group users and the tables but it still doesn't fully install.

Review this post here on my site portalparts.com for some troublshooting tips. Another user having similar issues.

Yes, same problem and I don't think he managed to solve it since I didn't find any solution to my problem there.

Anyone else?

Err - no but I pointed out various troubleshooting ideas which I don't want to repeat yet again. You have not indicated what you have done to attempt to find what is wrong and since you or the other poster have not posted an actual error message then I have nothing else to go on.

If the plugin install is stopping - then there is an error. If you see no error message then you have error reporting off or set to not display.

Thats what I have indicated in the previous posts as well.

I did that already and it still gave me the same log.

And how do you know that error reporting is on or that it actually will report an error?

I replaced that line with: "error_reporting( E_ALL );"

Do I have to do something else?

Update: I tried to install the File Management plugin with the line ""error_reporting( E_ALL );"" in "libcommon.php".

It showed a page:

Install/Uninstall Plugin

Installation Failed -- See your error log to find out why.

The Plugin is Not Installed


This is what's in error.log:

Looks like the error is this line:

I've no idea what it means though. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Blaine.

Atleast in this case you have an error message. Try the install again, I suspect the duplicate key error may not appear the second time.

When a plugin install failes due to a reported error, it will un-install itself and any database updates that have been made. The previous install attempts may have left a partially installed plugin since it did not error out.

Verify that you have error_reporting enabled in your php.ini file as well.
Do you have a link to your sites phpinfo output?

Thanks Blaine! I tried to re-install it and it worked!

Thanks a lot!
