CMS Made Simple Forums

Afternoon,

Just setting up CMSMS via SSH for a client and it's failing at step one, i.e. I can't extract the files.

First, I: wget http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/frs/downlo ... ull.tar.gz

But I get the following error:

tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

It looks like it creates all the sub-directories (e.g. admin, plugins, etc) but none of the PHP files in the root appear.

I have to say, with previous installations I've just FTP'd them so I am inclined to doubt my own skills/knowledge here. It would be nice to do this via SSH, saves aaaages transfering all the files.

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. I have installed a few sites with this method. Normally works fine. Wonder if there is a problem on the server or with the files????

I think it's the files.

I've now downloaded the latest 1.4.1 (full) and tried to unzip it (I use 7-Zip) on my laptop (Windows XP) and I get the following error:

CRC failed in 'cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-full.tar. File is broken.

Okay, it definitely is the 1.4.1-full file. Downloaded cmsmadesimple-1.4-full.tar and it's fine.

Hopefully someone from the Dev Team will read this and do stuff.

I hope they fix it! I also tried 7z and some other unpackers - same problem.

Me too I have just upgraded to 1.4 but cannot get 1.4.1 to unzip. I tryed 7zip and winrar. extracts some stuff but says the archive is corrupt. Tryed via shell and also manual download and extract. No Joy! Has taken me so long to make the upgrade and when I finally do, I cant do it! Anyway hopefully it will be sorted soon:)

If you don't need all languages you can download cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-base.tar.gz. And if you want to add another lang download that lang pack.

Hi, this is my first post on the forums.  I'm hoping what i'm seeing is related to this thread (and if not possibly get some guidance).

I downloaded the full 1.41 archive yesterday to a Windows XP machine.  I had no trouble extracting all the files into the proper directory structure.  However, PHP wouldn't interpret the scripts.  Upon examination in an editor the first line of each php file I reviewed is simply php as opposed to <?php.

Could this be related to the archive containing obsolescent base-64 headers?  I plan to follow another posters advice and download the simple archive and try it out.

SOLVED.  Downloading the simple install archive took care of my missing <? problem.

BUMP.

Any devs noticed this thread yet? Can we have a fixed 1.4.1-full please?
