Item11750: Install-Scripts ignore the SystemWebName Parameter

We had some strange "bleeding" effects after installing the EditChapterPlugin on a Test-Wiki. In our Setup, wie have different Wiki's, using the same Data and Pub but different System folders. The SystemWebName is set accordingly in LocalSite.cfg.

It seems now, that some Extensions ignore this option and install hardcoded into System. As, for example in the EditChapterPlugin installer:

The manifiest file is not changed, as it represents the files that are shipped with the extension, not their installed location. However the install should have gone into the correctly mapped directories. I've renamed my System directory in data and pub to Mysys, and tested with AntiWikiSpamPlugin, and also EditChapterPlugin, and it seemed to work fine. The install should have said something like:

...
Installed:  pub/System/EditChapterPlugin/ecpstyles.css as /var/www/data/Foswiki-1.1.5/pub/Mysys/EditChapterPlugin/ecpstyles.css
...
Checked in: data/System/AntiWikiSpamPlugin.txt  as Mysys.AntiWikiSpamPlugin
...

showing the mapped target location of each installed file, as well as the Web.Topic name for files that are installed using the foswiki APIs. The mapping happens while the installer is copying or "checking in" the files. I've installed, and re-installed, and the correct mappings happens for the pre-req dependencies and the extensions itself.

Are you using anything unusually such as the VirtualHostingContrib? It does some overrides of the config that the configure utility isn't aware of.

Also verified after an update of an extension, that the backup is for the correct mapped files:

-rw-r--r-- .../.....      6732 2012-04-15 14:44 ./data/Mysys/AntiWikiSpamPlugin.txt

OK. So the Error might have happend somewhere/somehow else. I'll check this and come back here to report.

Note that in 1.1.4 and 1.1.5, the details of the installation script are logged into the working/logs/configure directory. So you should be able to go back and see what happened in the previous installation.

We couldn't reproduce this anymore. I will open a new Task if the bug returns.
