New to Self Hosting - Can't Upload Plugins

Just set up the self hosting control panel/database by the book (per @GoNorthWest How-To) and everything seems to be ok so far except that none of the plugins are loading. I've uploaded them through Filezilla and they don't appear in the control panel after refreshing. When I try to refresh I get the following: "There was a problem finding the /files/plugins directory" I've tried to upload them through our BT control panel but get the following error message: "Error Saving Archive. The file archive uploaded OK but it could not be saved to the file system?" Does anyone know what could be causing this? How to fix it so that we can start building apps in the self-hosted cp? Thanks.

Thanks, Danny. I saw that post earlier and when I try to install the plugins (this is happening with multiple plugins) from the "-->Plugin Maintenance (Add, Remove, Refresh) -->Download plugins from your buzztouch.com Control Panel -->download-->click 'update'--> and that worked--> after that in 'Manage plugins' the update" I get the following (unruly) error: PK )dBpassword_splash/UX ��3Q�T4Q��PK+dBpassword_splash/config.txtUX �T4Q�T4Q���T�n1}�W��+�m�D%+!ȥE%��V!��ɚxm�K�)�ߙ�$����}��x�sf�t�����Zj�zeH��G7 r�3����8��[E}A������� �mb4��q�l(C� W��MX�F/h)���dA����_Q�����4�¸6�vݒ�t+9L��t�yI�ʠ�M�E�}�ʠ��,M��J�&̔i+�h��$�^q`?G���� A�G�k��9y͙X�Q.(KL�������k���I��Ѡ�?� ��N�J�������jp��S^W�<��g����������p���Ա[�<���F�Y�r)\����n��z���Ƣ����|� ��|�Nla�X�_�g�Q�tzr>Of��pp2��� �T�6�����SK�bE� ��c�� %���z1�}F~�4�N��eP"������Yʅd����{ �%e��3Q��Q���͇A���9���>~5-8��y���� �(�_���3'm�3:8�p6�P �YNG'� �(C��������a~��H^H���Bh��R�M�oO��A�A*���|����KO�� �1��ǚA7�:9�L,Հ��r�+�UBAgLr�J��e�^� ����W�V��C�+1W,(!�7PK)4� ~�PK ]dB __MACOSX/UX W4QW4Q��PK ]dB__MACOSX/password_splash/UX W4QW4Q��PK+dB%__MACOSX/password_splash/._config.txtUX �T4Q�T4Q��c`cg`b`�MLV�V�P��'� �1C�kD^�e�t�b/4%�q���\�Ă��T���Ģļ�̼T�B}CkS�DK���4k�����Ԙ #猢��T�k#'ScC]''W]GSg]Kg]7'GCSGs'PKlX"���PKirApassword_splash/icon.pngUX ��3QcN�P�����PNG  IHDR22?��sBIT|d� pHYs��H��tEXtSoftwareAdobe Fireworks CS3��FdIDATh���y�_Wu�?����o���x�x{�'qbc������(lU��P�-埂�� UTBT�"H)Aд(e�@iC����* M'&��c{�3������=x<�()�+������9�s�{��{�U�7A����J�y��7�y+wǝ%�� io聆vs���SUT�� �b��*��@��8� X�����=�(HS��g�~��o�#~ɵgG�_ �vw ������Ç+P�!�B��6�f�<�d��؂&�?�N��Kl���ˀ���7�>��k5s���M�F��E�z_&ϯ_����1������#�̀U�{=�m�+�����>;~��_iF�`5��e�p9b�q�N4�F��b�1����RyL��%���>��L�p�UV�ŧ��>߮��\e[�;�rH�﷝�}�_3�_���<���b� Y{7����,���P=7*:�ia�(�1��!qݵG�ӧ�IӅ�:m��]�������/=�����o�x�UFt۶�NN^"�[G���t!l'IBL��R�H�IDF1���������t0������8���‹)���f�}�ǟ)#�Uۀ�6��87��c�E��1�oU@Q,>(ծ/Ҭ������p���it�Ddg{��{}4_t}���|�އ�J1,��D4�`�k��X��9�u$�L�o �=���Q*Dv ���`�9Df)��s�=@M ���]=`f���:Ь/휾�i{�6��ͺﱫ]����g����`��s���0�$舘�f�?��ÀCĀ��~ �:��eD��(��dumB�Y�Y ��AhO�F�t#6�����\��'��?D� Ɖ�m�����|�:?���rQ��X���ac�gW{��L\v����Z�Hc���#����q4�����9��0;����+���d�?5凋��n:�=�P&sQ�T��$�?j7Z@%ʟ �Ź�yk���I���ų�h^���G�8�H!n��)�C&���������풵� 1���� ����S%�~�(ڧ�>.Y�z��&Cx1?%����@�l���i]{sB�h��//4�㒻mY{a����-�ly�#?>��}�-��M�� >�F��(���ى���[Ր .

Hi, Never seen anything like that. I would leave it for now. If all went well you can now use your plugins in the controlpanel. Best Regards, Danny

Hi, Try to uninstall/get rid of the password splash plugin. Download the splash plugin again and open it on your computer. Delete the MACOSX file(s). After that select all files and create a zip file (of all those files). After that reupload the plugin in the controlpanel (narmal way to install plugin. Best Regards, Danny

Well, that's just it. There are none. None of the plugins that are free or that we've paid for are showing up in the self-hosted control panel. We tried to build a new app there and got this error: The application's data directory on the file system does not exist? This application does not have a data directory on the file system? Does that shed any light on the situation? Any other ideas?

OK, Sounds like something went wrong with your installation. Can you confirm that there is a directory called applications? is it writeable? Last solution: Delete everything from the server and try install again Best Regards, Danny

OK. Will be trying that later and put an update here on the progress. Also, apologies for the multiple posts above.

UPDATE: The plugins previously uploaded to my files/plugins folder were deleted. In the control panel under "Add Plugins" I tried different options with the following results: "Refresh Plugins" yields the error: There was a problem finding the /files/plugins directory "Download Plugins from your buzztouch.com Control Panel" yields the error above. "Upload Plugin Package" yields error: Error Saving Archive. The file archive uploaded OK but it could not be saved to the file system? I also updated the config.php file to: /* application physical path on server, data directories. * /*These begin with a forward slash (/). Do not enter the trailing slash (/) */ define("APP_PHYSICAL_PATH", "/files/plugins"); define("APP_DATA_DIRECTORY", "/files"); define("APP_THEME_PATH", "/files/theme"); So far nothing is working. What else can I do/am I missing here? Thanks in advance.

i think your issue same like me..I have sense that the culprit is at "APP_PHYSICAL_PATH" saw this guy manage to reenter his physical path but I really dont know how he get that path..any ideas? http://www.buzztouch.com/forum/thread.php?tid=A2394362653AC68F504C394&fid=06DB0BCB08E6666&sortColumn=FT.id&sortUpDown=DESC&currentPage=1

To get the physical path, you need to go to your server cpanel page, then to : File manager\ home directory. Then from here you will see where is your buzztouch folder Eg. for me: /home4/(my username)/public_html/buzztouch replace this to the one in your config.php file :)
