aps installer not working

[Thomas]

Binary package hint: syscp

When I switch aps-installer on and access an menu entry I only get:

There are some problems with this module:

    * The PHP/Webserver process must be able to write in the directory /var/www/syscp/temp/ and /var/www/syscp/packages/

Fix these problems, otherwise the module cannot be used!

I created the both directory and give them a chmod 777 but no changes. Whats wrong?

[Thomas (t.c)]

I discovered, that syscp has hardcodet the path in the language files. I created a patch for the upstream package see

http://bugs.syscp.org/view.php?id=1273

After create

mkdir /usr/share/syscp/packages/ /usr/share/syscp/temp/

and set the write permissions to the folders i got it running.

syscp was removed from the Ubuntu archive during the precise development cycle and therefore is not available under any supported ubuntu release. Marking the syscp task as "Won't Fix".
