Hello,
I first posted a couple weeks ago on the original site, but just think in the move it was overlooked. I'd really love to get this working, but I'm stuck at the moment.
The plugin appears to have installed properly. I am able to add new profiles under the "Other Profiles" tab when selecting a user name. However, when clicking on the "Action Streams" tab the page only shows "No events could be found".
My crontab looks like: Movable Type's scheduled tasks script: 0,30 * * * * cd ./home/vs/www/cgi-bin/mt; perl ./tools/run-periodic-tasks
Any help on this greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Brian
That should say that I can add new profiles through the plug-in interface, but there are no Action Streams showing up? Any thoughts would be appreciated on this...
Okay... I finally got it up and running. It was a combination of things. What finally helped me (in 3 weeks there was not a single response?) was looking real hard at all the other issues posted here even though they seemed very unrelated. You'll probably find a little piece of your problem here and there so read closely.
I thought my path was off originally, but I just hadn't waited long enough for the cron to kick in. Ended up switching it back to original path (don't use the "." before the path to mt like I had mistakenly done above).
Also, if you use your activity log in mt you'll see the detailed error(s) pop up. This helped a great deal for me. I saw that there were 2 perl modules needed that weren't installed and not called out in the original MT install... XML::Parser and XML::XPath. Once I installed those and rebooted the server everything came up for the first time. These are part of the CPAN collection of perl modules (http://www.cpan.org) that you would be familiar with if you had to install any perl modules to get your MT install up and running. For convenience sake I'll put what I learned below. Hopefully it helps one of you out in the future.
:::::::::
To run CPAN, log into your server through an SSH connection and switch to the root user. Then run the command: perl5 -MCPAN -e shell
After this, you may be asked to go through a setup process. Once that is complete, you should see a prompt that looks like this: cpan>
At that point, you can run installs on your modules with: cpan> install MODULE::NAME
for example, for the XML::Parser module, you would run: install XML::Parser
Each of the installations will go through a process of downloading the necessary files and installing/configuring the module. For more information, you can go to: http://www.cpan.org/
It's all worth it when you see your Activity Streams start running!
Good luck.
