Topic: problem using shell plugin to patch

Hi,

I'm trying to patch my forum in order to update to 1.2.15. To do that, I'm using the punbb shell plugin made by Kristoffer.
My forum is installed in /forum
I've uploaded the file called punbb-1.2.14_to_1.2.15.patch in /
Then I put the following command:

patch -ul -d [/home/pluriser/www/forum/] -p2 < [punbb-1.2.14_to_1.2.15.patch]

But it does not work. I get the message "No output from shell."

Have you got any solution ?

Thank you

Never seen/used the software personally, but try removing the [] from around the paths. They are usually, in unix fashion, merely there to illustrate where your path goes, in the readme file.

I tried removing [] but it gives me the same message
Any idea?

Are you sure it didn't worked? Maybe it's the plugin's shell capture that doesn't work.

Is the 'patch' utility there in your setup, and usable from anywhere?

Sure it does not work because this error message appear in just half a second.

Have you tried running any other commands that you know for sure works?

I do not know any other command.
Can you give me one in order I could make a test.

Try the basic shell ones....

ls
ls -al
man (for example, man chmod)

man chmod works good
So why does not shell work to update?
