Can't install InstantPress as appliance from the web2py admin interface #16

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

1. After starting web2py locally go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/default/site
2. Review the "Upload & install packed application" section
3. Name the new appl accordingly (e.g. "InstantPress") and upload file 
instantpress.w2p from the local file system (unzipped from 
web2py.app.instantpress_beta5.w2p.gz)
4. Web2Py tries to install it, but after a few moments displays: unable to 
install application "InstantPress"

Notes:
- I can install any other *.w2p examples just fine.
- I'm using the latest version (1.89.5) on WinXP
- After these errors I tried again after installing Python 2.7.1 but nothing 
changed.

I'm a newbie to Web2Py/Python so probably I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks.

I found the source of the problem: When downloading 
web2py.app.instantpress_beta5.w2p with Google Chrome, I was offered the file 
named as web2py.app.instantpress_beta5.w2p.gz (a gz archive instead of w2p). 
Installing with a gz extension or unzipping the w2p inside produced an error. 
After renaming the gz file to web2py.app.instantpress_beta5.w2p and the install 
happened w/o issues.

I Also use chrome, never ask me to rename file, but it's good to know that.
