Question

When I try to Find more Extensions I get the following Error:

Consulting TWiki.org... Software error: connect: Unknown error. GET /cgi-bin/view/Plugins/FastReport?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain HTTP/1.0 Host: twiki.org User-agent: TWikiConfigure? /1.0 +http://twiki.org/

For help, please send mail to the webmaster (admin@yourhostPLEASENOSPAM.com), giving this error message and the time and date of the error.

Is there something wrong with my configuration or is it a Bug of Twiki

I have no Warnings and Errors in configure

Maybe I need some more Packages for IndigoPerl?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

This could be a bug with TWiki on IndigoPerl; this is a new feature that it is not tested on many platforms. Feel free to file a bug report at Bugs:WebHome.

I am getting a different error when trying to install plugin from configure

Fetching http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/MailerContrib/MailerContrib.tgz...

Warning: I can't install http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/MailerContrib/MailerContrib.tgz because I don't recognise the download as a gzip file. Warning: Extension may not have been packaged correctly. Trying for a .zip file instead.

Fetching http://twiki.org/p/pub/Plugins/MailerContrib/MailerContrib.zip... Unpacking... Archive::Zip is not installed; trying unzip on the command line unzip failed: Bad file descriptor Failed to unpack archive \tmp\lqT9OZflxi.zip

Software error: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /twiki/lib/TWiki/Configure/UIs/EXTEND.pm line 227.

I tried many different plugins, they all get the same error.

I was getting a "Connection timed out" error and found out that I needed to specify the proxy server/port in the configuration screen first.

Now it seems to complete without any issues but doesn't find any extensions at all. Do I need to set TWIKI_REPOSITORIES somewhere to get it to work?

Some progress. I had to add User-agent in Configure/UI.pm:263

261:    my $req = "GET $path HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $host\r\nUser-agent: TWikiConfigure/1.0 +http://twiki.org/\r\n\r\n";
262:    if ($TWiki::cfg{PROXY}{HOST} && $TWiki::cfg{PROXY}{PORT}) {
263:        $req = "GET http://$host:$port$path HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-agent: TWikiConfigure/1.0 +http://twiki.org/\r\n\r\n";
264:        $host = $TWiki::cfg{PROXY}{HOST};
265:        $port = $TWiki::cfg{PROXY}{PORT};
266:    }

Now I am stuck at a similar point as TonyTse (q0 Apr 2007).

More changes (to Configure/UIs/EXTEND.pm):

63c63
<     } elsif ($ar !~ s!^.*Content-Type: application/x-gzip\r\n\r\n!!is) {

---
>       } elsif ($ar !~ s#^.*Content-Type: application/zip.*\r\n\r\n##is) {  

The Content-Type field might not be the last in the HTTP header. This probably should be filed as a bug report.

By the way, I'm using 4.1.2.
