ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache, [Errno 20] Not a directory

[gardiner91@…]

When installing a plugin after uploading finishes this message is displayed.

I've tried changing permissions, changing python_egg_cache directory. But after removing plugin from "plugins/" directory everything works perfectly.

I've tried alot of different cache directory's:

• /root/.python_egg
• /tmp
• /usr/local/lib/python2.7/python_egg_cache

All returning same results.

Error Message:

ExtractionError: Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

  [Errno 20] Not a directory

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/python_egg_cache

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

If the message is always the same (including the path), then you don't set the egg cache path correctly. You also need to make sure that the user running the web server has read and write access to the egg cache.

The error "Not a directory" may give a hint: does the egg cache directory actually exist, and is it a directory?

Anyway, this is a local InstallationIssue, and you may have more success on the MailingList or IrcChannel.

The Directory Does Exist, The message does change depending on the egg cache directory. But as its says "Not a directory"

Would mean it must be a file so somehow it is trying to write the cache to a file?
