    I wanted to install the Articles package thru the package manager, but during install I get the following console error:
    Attempting to install package with signature: articles-1.6.3-pl
    
    Package found...now preparing to install.
    
    Grabbing package workspace...
    
    Workspace environment initiated, now installing package...
    
    xPDOVehicle validator failed: type php (/var/www/html/core/packages/articles-1.6.3-pl/xPDOTransportVehicle/155df8c3d6333bc1aa777d6ed1cfb81a.validate.archivist.validator)
    
    Could not validate vehicle: Array
    
    

    Next comes an output of the GNU license Version 2 and the complete changelog, with on the last line:
    Error removing field Article->articles_container: Array
    (
        [0] => 42000
        [1] => 1091

    )
    
    Error removing field Article->articles_container_settings: Array

    )
    
    Successfully installed package articles-1.6.3-pl
    


    I've completely removed the Articles package and there's no trace of articles found in my database.

    So I've downloaded the package again, installed it, and got the same error.
    I can't figure out where it's going wrong? [ed. note: johnsim last edited this post 13 years, 7 months ago.]

      ..so I suppose I can conclude that the above console output isn't something to worry about. Just a warning that a couple of columns/keys exist already.

      So I went and installed Articles again after installing the dependend packages first and all seem to look just fine.

      I did had to manualy correct directory permissions inside the components directory on my server. After that, I could configure my blog without problems so far and the Articles structure seem to be complete within the elements tab in the backend.

      Off we go!
