Thanks for the replies. Regarding my point #2, if I remember correctly I didn't need to deactivate it, simply correct the permissions, navigate to the plugins page in admin and then click the activate button alongside the hibari content silo entry. The process for correcting it really was very simple. The problem was I didn't know I was doing to correct thing until it was working.
Following my brief tests both the habari and flickr silos seem to work for me but these are superficial tests. 2009/11/20 Philip Olson <[email protected]> > > On Nov 20, 2009, at 6:13 AM, Rich Bowen wrote: > > > > > On Nov 19, 2009, at 13:02 , mikelietz wrote: > > > >>> 2) Log message thrown up for habari content silo being unable to > >>> create needed folders - easily solved but would be good if steps > >>> needed to fix the problem could be listed.
