AVH-Amazon – Will not activate

    haven’t been able to get this to activate all day. Started off with version 0.1. Interestingly enough it was updated while I was trying to get things to work, downloaded and tried to install version 0.2 and still not activating.

    I’ve deleted the directory and reuploaded countless times. It will show up under plugins, I click on “Activate” like I do with the few other plugins I have, WP says at the top of the page that it is activated, yet the plugin is not highlighted like its active, and does’t say deactivate. Instead it continues to option Activate, and nothing shows up within the options…

    I was uploading my version just today, that explains the sudden new release.

    Make sure the cache directory is write-able for the user that the webserver runs as. If the WordPress says activated but it isn’t, the cache directory isn’t writeable.

    You can find the directory in the plugin directory. In Linux set the rights to 777.

    This is the only plug-in i’ve worked with today that has given me any issues. I was able to install others without problem all day (just started the blog this morning).

    The writeable directory is something special that most plugins don’t require.

    At the moment I can’t display a reason why the plugin isn’t activated, with WordPress 2.5 there should be an option to do this.

    If I would activate the plugin without a writeable directory the blog would throw serious errors.

    Interestingly enough there isn’t a cache directory within ../wp-content/plugins/ or any other subdirectory. I took the liberty to create one (../wp-content/plugins/cache), chmod to 777, and things are no different.

    This is all I get after I click on “Activate”

    The directory cache should be in the avh-amazon directory. /wp-content/plugins/avh-amazon/cache

    Set this to chmod 777 and it should work, I’ll see why there’s no cache in the avh-amazon directory.

    ah, that was the key. Went ahead and created that directory and is now active. Pulled the ID #s from the Amazon site, and all is working!

    Thanks much for your fast support!

    Not a problem, support is even faster when posting in the AVH Support forum ?? (https://forums.avirtualhome.com) (I can monitor the posts there)

    was going to do that earlier, but the woman dragged me out for food instead…

    thanks again!
