There might be a line missing from the php script. See the thread at http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1933836.

I have PHP 5.2.9 and the latest gears download, but this line was still missing. Once added, it now works as advertised.

regards,
Edmond

To clarify, all folders in the path from the root to the manifest must be set to 755.

plugins
plugins/system
plugins/system/GoogleGears
as well as the manifest.php file. Cheers!

if you are getting the 500 error, change the file permission of

gears-manifest.php

to 755

it solves the issue.

Phil, this file had permission 666, then after changing the permission to 755, issue is resolved. Please check into this, there could be an update, so that this great plugin works right out of the box

Alberto – I have the same problem – you changed the permission setting of which files and/or directories to get it working?

By: Alberto

Alberto — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:11:24 +0000

yeah. I’ve found the solution.

First I’ve changed the permission setting from 644 to 777 and problem persists.
Then Ive changen to 755 and the gears start to cache the files in my PC.

This is the error I get:

Local storage status: Error: Download of ‘http://www.calypsosub.it/plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php’ failed, status code 500.

What can I do?

I have php5 installed in my server and the problem is the same with firefox or Iexplorer

Hi Phil,

I get the Manifest error on this website. I am right on the installation and the PhP version, as I also installed your plugin on other Joomla websites (but not with same provider) I it works fine. Where is my mistake ?
Thanks,

Very good work!
But…please…remove “/images” folder from the list! (line 83 of gears-manifest.php)

On standard sites, all the user images are in that folder…and in my case it started downloading 11000+ images!

I don’t think it’s an “added value” to cache them: admin console or user editors never use that content…

I’ve blogged about it here:

Hi Phil, great work here. I’ve had no issues with the plugin. Quick question– do I have continue to click the Update Gears button after I add new content or install a component to synchronize the content between the cache and the server, or does this happen automatically?

Works like a charm! Very easy install instructions above and the admin console is MUCH snappier.

did you even bother reading the blog post? It clearly tells you what your problem is – YOU ARE RUNNING PHP 4.x !!!!

I get the same error: Local storage status: Error: Invalid manifest – * Line 1, Column 1 Syntax error: value, object or array expected.

SO … as you suggested I go to page gears-manifest.php

The page can’t load. I think is a permission problem. The files is set to 644.
I change to 755.

I reload the manifest page and …. I get another error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /web/htdocs/www.calypsosub.it/home/plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php on line 16

Please help me.

Tx.

UPDATE:
When you update gears, if you get a message: ”

Error: Invalid manifest – * Line 1, Column 1 Syntax error: value, object
or array expected.

Then the manifest file is displaying an error. To view the manifest
file please load the followinf url in your browser (replace domain.com
with your domain!)

domain.com/plugins/system/GoogleGears/gears-manifest.php

If you dont understand the error shown on that page then email me the
URL and I’ll do my best to help out.

Kindest regards
Phil.
