Hi,

When I try to add a new plugin to my site, it seems to go just as planned.

I choose the zip file and press upload - it uploads and I get a green "Plugin uploaded and ready to install" but the plugin isn't there :-/

When I take a look at the servers file system, I can see the plugin dir fine in the ow_plugins, all the folders in the plugin dir is there but there isn't any files :-(

If I try to upload the plugin manually (With the same ftp account as I use in Oxwall) everything works, all folders and files upload as planned.

Something is not going as planned with the oxwall upload and unzipping!

I'm running on a FRESH install of Ubuntu server 14.04

What plugin is it?
Does the same happen with other plugins? 3rd party? Oxwall native plugins?

Happends with ALL plugins :-(

PM me your CPanel access details, FTP access details and admin access details from the website, please

It is my own server, so I have NO cPanel access and do NOT give out login details to a produktion server!

I'm sure you will be able to reproduce the error if you install a new server your self. I done it 3 times in a row with same error

Ubuntu server 64bit, setup with static IP (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server)

VestaCP (http://www.vestacp.com/)

Set up a new user in Vestacp, with new website, new DB, new Cron job e.t.c

If I set up a Wordpress site, updates and plugin installation works just fine for that site :-/

I try to setup a test server with access to ssh, ftp and admin access to the website. Might take a day or two.

can you try to manually install the plugin. See tutorial: https://docs.oxwall.org/install:plugin Does the issue persist?

Ole Rasmussen Jan 30 '15

Like I said in the first post, when I upload the plugin manually, everything works fine.

It's only when I use the "Add new plugin" from Oxwall something goes wrong. Only the folders in the plugin ZIP gets uploaded - NO files :-(
