Mistake in installation

[mrlicker]

Hi, i have install accountmanager with this command: easy_install ​http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/0.10

Everything was ok. I see it in webadmin/plugins. But when i begin with checking options for this plugin, it finish with error (error is only when one of these 3 options are checked: AccountModule,LoginModule,RegistrationModule;others are without error).

Here is the error:

ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

  [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/nonexistent'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /nonexistent/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

I have tried many options but without success. Please, can you help me with this problem?

[Noah Kantrowitz]

You need to set the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable, just like the error message says. This is explained in the ​TracPlugins page.

Ok, i use this: SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /path/to/dir . What is this directory '/path/to/dir' pls? And when I use SetEnv, it says to me bad command.

[Matt Good]

The directory can be anywhere that the Apache user can write to. It just needs temp space to extract some files. Please ask on the ​t:MailingList for more help since this is an installation question, not a bug in this plugin.

Thank you, now it´s ok.
