Description

Dear Friends,

I know this is probably not a bug, but I am having real problem installing PEAR or Achive/Tar.php.
I tried every location: Drupal include directory OR sites/default/files/

The error message is still present :

Compression functionality Not available
The PEAR library Archive/Tar.php is missing. Please obtain PEAR or a copy of this file and put it on the include path.

Could you please give more detailed information in the online docs.
This is really very hard for me to be stuck on such an easy thing.
I already lost hours ... not days and my head is smoking ...

The answer is probably simple, so I would appreciate your help.

Kind regard,
Jean-Michel

Check PHP include directories under Reports in Drupal (click on the PHP version). Put the file into the include folders. Report back if it worked.

Thank you very much. Now it works. This is PHP include directory, not Drupal include directory. I manage servers with root access, so I had no problem. How will people with shared access upload this fils in /usr/share/pear or /usr/share/php5?

Some more help, please:

My local package connector is pointing out to /home/html/po
I added a kdenlive directory.
Inside this directory, I added kdenlive.po
Then: tar -czf kdenlive-0.7.1.tar.gz kdenlive.po
Chown www-data:www-data *

Local package connector detects nothing.
Is this normal?

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel

Well, I was reading through interface text in the l10n_localpacks module to give you background, but it is indeed not explained clearly. The packages handled by l10n_server (any of the connectors) are the exact module and theme packages you'd download from drupal.org, so they contain the module source code and assorted files. These are parsed by l10n_server, so one of its advantages is that you don't need to fiddle with generating templates yourself. This should be better explained on the user interface.

Thanks for the explanations.

In fact, I would like to set up a translation server for Kdenlive video editor, which is free software: http://www.kdenlive.org
What are the required steps to upload kdenlive.pot into the translation database and start translating?

Kind regards,
Jean-Michel

Translating arbitrary .po files is not a clear objective of this tool, but it is possible to write a connector which supports uploading arbitrary .po files into projects. I have this on my TODO list, but given that it is not a high priority, it is not among the top items.

hello! I'm facing the same problem as jmpoure.
But I don't really understand your answer, Gábor!
1. How can I check PHP include directories?
2. Which file do I have to put into the include folder? And is the include folder the follwoing one: ".../drupal/includes"?

thank you for your helb
Tobias
