Question

Related to: KnownIssuesOfTWiki04x02 and solution for TWikibug:Item5287

Following HowToUpgradeExtensionsWithConfigure I tried to upgrade the WysiwygPlugin and and TinyMCEPlugin. Download and unpacking seemed to work fine, but problems with finishing the installation occured. Error message (see also attached file):

Read error on tarfile (missing data) 'data/TWiki/TinyMCEPlugin.txt' at offset unknown at tools/extender.pl line 684

Same error message in both cases, just that instead of TinyMCEPlugin.txt WysiwygPlugin.txt occured during the second upgrade.

Also same error when trying to install from command line.

There seem to be some similar (and solved) topics for TWiki 4.1.2, but they do not work in this case.

I am having the exact same error. Similar enviornment with the wiki installed on Windows Server 2003.

I am having a similar error. I am running TWiki on my local machine to develop a mock-up to show to my company in hopes they will adopt this. I am running WinXP with Apache 2.2.8 and ActivePerl 5.10.0 and TWiki 4.2. The machine is unable to recognize the comands "pwd;ls" (is there some UNIX commands bundle I should install) on line 683 of extender.pl and then it fails with "No data could be read from file at tools/extender.pl line 684".

I have the same problem!

I get the same message on every plugin update, but the plugins are updated regardless.

Since the message refers to a tarfile, and we're using zip files on Windows, it's my guess that it is the message that is in error.

I have confirmed that, by downloading a ZIP, and running the Perl installer.
