Marketcircle KB .: Daylite 3.x .: Daylite Connectors .: I'm unable to install a connector plugin.

I'm unable to install a connector plugin.

Problem:

I'm receiving the following error message when attempting to install a Daylite plugin

"Unable to create folder Library/Application Support/Daylite/PlugIns. Please check your permissions and try again."

Why could this be happening?

When installing one of the three connector plugins (FileMaker, Moneyworks or LightSpeed), a folder named "PlugIns" is created in the following directory:

Home -> Library -> Application Support -> Daylite

If a permissions alert appears, it's possible that one of the folders leading up to Daylite is not read and writable

Resolution:

Make sure that all folders and files in the following path are writable:


Home -> Library -> Application Support -> Daylite


You can verify this by doing the following:-

-open a 'Finder' window
-go to Home -> Library -> Application Support
-select the "Daylite" folder
-from the Finder menu bar, select File -> Get Info
-expand the 'ownership and permissions' area (for Tiger users), or 'sharing and permissions (for Leapard users) and make sure you can 'Read & Write'
-to make a change, click on the 'lock' icon (if required, authenticate yourself)
-close the lock to save the changes

(perform the above procedure with the 'Library' and 'Application Support' as well if applicable)
