¹Text::Unidecode

Installatie zegt:

Text::Unidecode version >= 1.30 required -- installed version is 1.27 - Required

Linux zelf zegt:

admin@ip-172-34-4-185:~/scripts$ cpanm Text::Unidecode
Text::Unidecode is up to date. (1.30)

Onderzoek levert op:

/home/admin/perl5/lib/perl5/Text/Unidecode.pm = versie 1.30
/srv/foswiki/lib/CPAN/lib/Text/Unidecode.pm = versie 1.27

Ik had eerst cpan-module weggehaald uit de foswiki-boom, maar dan vond hij de module niet!
Dus dan heb ik die uit de admin/perl5-boom gekopieerd naar de foswiki-boom, en dat was oké!

²Image::Magick

Hier werkt de truc van Text::Unidecode niet.

admin@ip-172-34-4-185:/srv/foswiki/lib/CPAN/lib/Image$ locate Magick.pm

{JQueryPlugin}{Plugins}{HoverMenu}{Module}:

I took over the value of my other environments: Foswiki::Contrib::JQHoverMenuContrib::Core

⁴Manual install

admin@ip-172-34-4-185:/srv/foswiki$ sudo tools/extension_installer WebFontsContrib install

So:

• from the foswiki root directory
• as sudo => files are also root then => so chown afterwards
• tools/extender.pl was read-only => afterwards made it read-only again: sudo chmod +/–x extender.pl
