My machine is running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server

Foswiki seems to be running fine.

Trying to update CommentPlugin via FindMoreExtensions leads to an error message:

Error: Cannot create directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/lib: Permission denied
Software error:

Installation terminated at /var/lib/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Configure/UIs/EXTEND.pm line 134.

The directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/lib doesn`t exist and should'nt be created.

I suspect that the file operating should point to /var/lib/foswiki/lib ...

Installation terminated at /var/lib/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Configure/UIs/EXTEND.pm line 139.

Trying to install LdapContrib it stops with

Error: Failed to move file 'LdapContrib_installer' to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/LdapContrib_installer: Permission denied

The installer should write to /usr/lib/cgi-bin/foswiki...

Is there an easy solution for this issue?

Greetings

Bernhard
yes smile

don't use configure. When using the DebianPackage, use apt-get always.

if you do an apt-cache search foswiki you will see the foswiki packages that are available.

I plan on replacing the More Extensions button on the DebianPackage with this advice, but I've not gotten there yet :/

added a big fat warning to configure
