Hi,

I’m trying Revolution for the first time. Have been using ModX Evolution to develop a few sites in the past and wanted to check out Revolution.

I’m having some problems. Installation went ok, but I can’t seem to install any packages. I just tried to install ckeditor and it fails with this error:

Could not create target directory /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/assets/components
Could not copy /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/core/packages/ckeditor-0.1-beta3/modPlugin/f4dfc262b3c4f15e720ec2ae9a4d72b7/3/ to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/assets/components/
Successfully installed package ckeditor-0.1-beta3

Looking at the directory structure it seems it did create a components/ckeditor directory and copied the files. I can see ckeditor in the system settings also, but no editor shows up when editing content.

Tried it with TinyMCE as well,s ame results.

I’m using Revolution beta5, XAMPP 1.7.2a with PHP 5.3 on OSX.

Anyone have any ideas?

Well, for one, make sure that the Setting ’which_editor’ is set to CKEditor. Also, make sure that the setting ’use_editor’ is on, and then clear the cache. Finally, the Document must have ’richtext’ checked.

If all that doesnt work - well, in beta5 the RTEs were still shaky. This has been fixed in the upcoming rc1.

Seems to be something a little more fundamentally wrong. I tried installing other types of packages and no luck.

Installing Wayfinder for instance gives the following error:

Attempting to install package with signature: wayfinder-2.1.1-beta4
Package found...now preparing to install.
Grabbing package workspace...

Attempting to preserve files at /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/core/components/ into archive /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/core/packages/wayfinder-2.1.1-beta4/modSnippet/242d1da7f2d4767f30e2f1764004e52e.0.preserved.zip

Successfully installed package wayfinder-2.1.1-beta4

I can easily wait for the RC1, but if I’m having these problems with essential functionality like package management then others might have them to and I’d like to figure out where the problem lies.

Kyle, those error messages are harmless and were fixed long ago in SVN; the installation of the Wayfinder package is working fine according to that output:

Successfully installed package wayfinder-2.1.1-beta4
