Gibberish code when navigating to installer.php

Hi ofeargall,

If you open the file in a text editor do you see php code or the gibberish? You might have to change the encoding of the file… In an IDE like notepad++ you can toggle the file Encoding. It might need to be converted to UTF-8…

It’s pretty messed up in code view as well

Same problem with UTF8

I re-ran the plugin and got a clean installer.php. Looks to be a freak accident.

Now… If I can just get rid of the “Is Writeable” failure on my install we’ll be in good shape. Off to the documentation…

You might check with your hosting provider to see how the perms need to be setup to allow PHP to write to the desired directory…

Actually, I logged in through SSH and changed the permissions to ‘rwx’ for the Apache group using ‘setfacl’ on the command line. After the site was extracted and set up I changed the permissions back to ‘r-x’ and everything is working famously.

The plugin worked like a charm after a couple of bumps in the road. Great plug in. I’ll use it again for sure.

Hey ofeargall,

Glad to here you got it going… Permissions are just something that the plugin can’t update so it does take some time to get the perms right for certain environments…
