please help me get this plugin installed…

I have no access to [techo-weenie.net](http://techo-weenie.net) due to a firewall blocking the  
weenie crap in its domain name.

more specifically, i’m trying to do this:  
script/plugin install [http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins)

and it bombs.

On a machine w/ access to this repository, I did an svn checkout and  
tar’d up the contents… then untar’d on the machine in question but  
this does not work:  
script/plugin install /sometempdir/where\_i\_untared/acts\_as\_authenticated

=\> plugin not found

I presume it must be a svn respository… Is there no alternate? i found  
loads on trac but they are all viewers… how can I access this? thanks  
in advance

All script/plugin does is checks out a plugin with svn into  
vendor/plugins, you can easily do this manually:

svn co [http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/my-plugin](http://svn.techno-weenie.net/projects/plugins/my-plugin)  
vendor/plugins/my-plugin

You can just copy that vendor/plugins/my-plugin folder to your server  
without any issues.

- one thing that script/plugin install does, however, is runs the  
install.rb script. But, the one that acts\_as\_authenticated uses just  
prints the readme.

Got it thanks man. I finally figured this out last night. So frustrating  
but oh so close to a solution. 🙂 Thanks again for the help
