[pun_repository bug] Extension installing system (Page 1 of 2)

You mean you use pun_repository?
Try to remove the pun_bbcode.tgz file form /extensions/ - looks like it was broken while downloading.
If this doesn't help, try to uninstall all extensions and remove their directories - except pun_repository! - and try to download/install again.

Do you use latest version of pun_repository?

pun_repository contains no calls to Install extensions or admin_extensions_install. This looks like problem with other extension. Try to disable them one by one. Maybe it is pun_admin_extensions_improved (not updated for 1.3 yet).

I just installed 1.2.2. The PHP Errors are gone, but the following is still there.
"ERROR! Files could not be extracted from the downloaded archive. The next errors appear while extracting:
Error while opening {'../extensions/pun_bbcode/styles.css'} in write binary mode"

extensions directory is set to 777.

But still, it seems that the file isn't even downloaded (because it isn't on the ftp). The archives are to downloaded to the extensions dir, aren't they?

I also have the official PM system installed, latest version. But that's all.

How do I run that command? I have no root access, only ftp. But it gives only the file list, am I right? There's index.html and the two folders pun_repository and pun_pm, no hidden files.

Exactly, this is my configuration.

PHP: 5.2.6-0.dotdeb.1
MySQL Standard 5.0.51a
OS: Debian
Apache 2

Is it possible that some needed PHP function is disabled?

Also, when I try to download the tgz manually to my computer it takes like 2 seconds to set up the connection. But on the forum the error message appears without delay. Can it be that the file isn't even tried to be downloaded?

Running punbb 1.3 (migration from old 1.2 install, never got any errors on database conversion)

Only extension installed is pun_repository 1.2.2

From apache error_log:

I was able to install the extensions manually.

I tell you how the pun_repository extension works. It creates a directory in extensions/. For example, if you install pun_antispam, it creates extensions/pun_antispam directory. Then it tries to download the extension archive from server and saves it to creates extensions/pun_antispam/pun_antispam.tgz. After it extracts files from the archive and deletes the archive. Finally it make a redirect as if you press 'Install' link

Seems like the 0777 permissions for extensions directory is the only one requirement that makes pun_repository working.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?

I've already understood this and edited my post
See it, please.

No. You have to delete extension files manually, because you have to upload them manually too. Forum core doesn't know, that with pun_repository you do not really have to upload them

Can files be extracted from the archive manually?

We've modified the code from PHP PEAR (or something else, I don't remember) and included in pun_repository. So extraction shouldn't depend on PHP configuration. But who knows... Please send me what phpinfo() outputs via PM or e-mail.

Obviously the following line (871, pun_repository_tar_extract.php) fails:

if (($v_dest_file = @fopen($v_header['filename'], "wb")) == 0) {

You could try to make it more accurate (though I don't really believe this will help, we should check out this way too):

if (($v_dest_file = fopen($v_header['filename'], "wb")) === false) {

I don't know yet
Maybe I'll find there something.

We'll try to reproduce this bug on the test server next week.
