Plugin Manager Problems on jEdit 4.2final
Submitted by Anonymous on Wednesday, 27 October, 2004 - 19:40
I have just downloaded and installed jEdit on a brand new machine. The Plugin Manager does not seem to be able to download the plugin list. It can get a list of 4 mirrors but will not allow you to change from the default. This is not my first time around the park with jEdit but it is my first time with a problem of any kind with the Plugin Manager.

I am not behind a firewall.

Operating System: WindowsXP Home Edition.
Java Version: 1.5

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Jim

Problem Solved... by the Gods of CPU?

I reinstalled it (again!) and - it's a miracle - it now works.

Praise God and pass the popcorn.

Doesn't work for me, even after re-install

I keep getting an error that is occurring on the server: "An error occurred while parsing http://plugins.jedit.org/export/gzip_plugin_manager.php, line 1: expected character (found "e") (expected "<")" Occurs on both Mac OS X 10.3 and Windows 2003 Server. BTW, I can't set an alternate download site. I can get a list of them and select one, but it has no effect.

Server seems to have a problem

I tried opening http://plugins.jedit.org/export/gzip_plugin_manager.php from firefox and get a error message that the server isn't available. Oddly enough I can howerver open plugins.jedit.org. Maybe it's some sort of virtual server setup and that particular box just happens to be down. I'd bet if you wait a while and try fetching the plugins in a bit it will work again.
 
Server definitly has a problem.

Just tried opening the page in firefox again, and got this message instead. "error opening cache file '/home/groups/j/je/jedit-plugins/cache/%2Fhome%2Fgroups%2Fj%2Fje%2Fjedit-plugins%2Fhtdocs%2Fexport%2Fnew_plugin_manager.php.cache' for writing". Looks like something on the server is definitly broken. I also notice the forum seems to be running rather slow as well, so maybe all the servers are haveing some problems. I know a couple new worms hit the net recently, so maybe there bogged down in viral traffic, but thats just random speculation. At any rate, hopefully the above error message will help pin down the problem a little. Until it's resolved there isn't really anything any users can do to install or update plugins. For some reason this seems to be affecting the mirror servers as well, so maybe the plugin list is hosted from the central repository even if your using a mirror (common point of failure, any way to alleviate that?).
 
the same

and do you have a solution for your problem? i would too change my browser from ie to firefox, they are different views in the graphical output - i use many javascripts (for my kochrezepte side) and must do this, but if i can not use jedit plugins - i think i get the same problems like you.
 
Which?
