Doesn't seem to be a problem with buildouts on the same platform.

In the [buildout] section of my buildout.cfg,

eggs =
    elementtree
    Products.SimpleAttachment
    Products.PloneFlashUpload
    Products.Ploneboard
    webcouturier.dropdownmenu
    plone.browserlayer

and in a _buildout_ context, happily, I have _not_ found that Products.Ploneboard breaks sites.

Added byGraham PerrinonJan 18, 2008 10:29 PM

Following suggestions that a PYTHONPATH setting may resolve the issue,

1. removed Plone
2. installed Plone
3. modified zopectl

http://paste.plone.org/19095 shows the modification, including a reference to the advice

4. sudo systemstarter start Plone-3.0.5
5. sudo systemstarter stop Plone-3.0.5
6. sudo /Applications/Plone-3.0.5/Python-2.4.4/bin/easy_install Products.Ploneboard
7. sudo systemstarter start Plone-3.0.5
8. <http://localhost:8080/Plone> presents <PloneSite at broken>

Added byRobert AndersononJan 23, 2008 04:12 AM

I can confirm that this problem exists under Linux, Plone-3.0.5, and Ploneboard-2.0rc1.

I can also add that it appears to not be Ploneboard or SimmpleAttachment-3.0.2.

If I remove the other EGG files that it installs everything seems to work fine again. My guess is that these files are no longer compatible with the same named packages being installed by plone in my site instances lib dir (in my case /web/plone3/lib/)?

It seems to keep failing until I remove all of the following eggs from my Plone pythons instance of site-packages(in my case /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages):
  plone.app.controlpanel-1.0.3-py2.4.egg
  plone.portlets-1.0.5-py2.4.egg
  plone.memoize-1.0.3-py2.4.egg
  plone.i18n-1.0.2-py2.4.egg

Perhaps there is a way to tell easy_install to use the zope instances lib dir for dependency resolution prior to installing it's own EGGS?

I observed the same as Robert Anderson described and solved the problem with exact same way.

I just want to record my test settings here for later references:

This is not a Ploneboard bug but an installation problem. See http://plone.org/[…]/installing for installation instructions.

Added byGraham PerrinonFeb 16, 2008 06:15 AM

Installation instructions were followed, I guess that there's something amiss with the installation routine.

I gained no response to http://www.nabble.com/easy_[…]4576703s6741.html#a14576703 so I'll repost to http://www.nabble.com/Insta[…]tup%2C-Upgrades-f15482.html

For the benefit of anyone else reading this ticket:

Make sure all installers use Buildout as their base
http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7853

reduce users' expectations that easy_install will work
http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7867

In my experience: wherever easy_install fails, buildout succeeds.

Added byMarco MarkgrafonJul 28, 2008 04:11 PM

Well, I DID install using buildout.
I deinstalled it using buildout as well. But the deinstall seems to be flawed.
Something is left over from ploneboard, and now, NOTHING can be installed :-(
Every attempt at installing whatever breaks off with "Key-Error: Ploneboard", with or without additional Kupu-Errors.

Added byMarco MarkgrafonJul 28, 2008 05:35 PM

I tried what i read in http://markmail.org/message/46zq5plrokiq2jdr
and found that I needed to do the exact opposite:

Site setup -> Visual editor -> Resource types -> Add Ploneboard as linkable
And it works again. Lucky me :)

No responses can be added.
