stuck extracting a file

Jon Rubin
Hi, I'm trying to sync. I'm running debug (its a linux eepc) and its stuck on extracting a gif file. This is the first file its tried to download. It says its successfully downloaded the file "Zip file is OK", so the problem seems to be with extracting it, yet I can browse to the storage folder and its there, extracted. Though I can't open it with any of my image viewers. I can open the zip file - though of course none of the files are recognisable.
I'm stuck, as is my sync. Any suggestions apart from wiping all the files from my server and trying the whole thing again?
Using Zotero r3655.
Regards,
Jon.

    Slaps forehead. Sorry should have checked that - didn't think to because the sync seemed to be continuing, normally when there's a problem it stops with a yellow bar across it.
    Here you go:
    JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.permissions]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js :: _processDownload :: line 1111" data: no]" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js" line: 1111}]

    Can you check the owner/group and permissions on the file in the directory?
  • Jon Rubin
    a+x (Make executable/searchable)
    all get execute/access permissions.
  • dstillman
    But no read or write? In other words, --x--x--x?

    What kind of file is it, and where did it come from originally? If you pull the zip file for this item off the WebDAV server and extract it from the command line, do you see a file with equivalent permissions?

    Well, I don't know if this helps, but I reformatted the SDHC drive (it was fat32) to ext2 and it now appears to be syncing fine.
    Unfortunately I know my way round Windows much better than Linux, so can't offer much more info but as I said, it seems to be syncing fine now and I'm writing this one off to the Linux learning curve. Will let you know in a couple of hours if it completed OK.

    Seems to have synced fine. Great stuff.
