Hi everybody!

Rails-Engine is a very promising technology! I am  
really looking forward to use the login and user  
engine(the exact two things i need right now to  
complete an webapplication).

I have Gentoo installed on my machine. I don’t have  
any issues with Ruby and Rails, everything is fine.

I followed the instructions and when i issue  
ruby script/plugin install engines

i get the following error:

hostname # ruby script/plugin install engines  
svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/rails/plugins’  
svn: PROPFIND of ‘/rails/plugins’: 403 Forbidden  
([http://svn.protocool.com](http://svn.protocool.com))  
svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/public/plugins’  
svn: PROPFIND of ‘/public/plugins’: Could not resolve  
hostname `[svn.substance-it.co.uk](http://svn.substance-it.co.uk)’: Host not found  
([http://svn.substance-it.co.uk](http://svn.substance-it.co.uk))  
svn: REPORT request failed on ‘/!svn/vcc/default’  
svn: REPORT of ‘/!svn/vcc/default’: 400 Bad Request  
([http://svn.rails-engines.org](http://svn.rails-engines.org))

Any ideas/suggestions for a solution or at least where  
to find the log error? I want to mention that i have  
runned before “ruby script/plugin discover” and added  
all the links that i was asked for…

many thanks  
John M

Hi,

i almost solved the issue with the errors. There were  
some rubbish urls added by discover command. What is  
the correct repository to add for rails-engine? I  
don’t add all those urls that came from discovery.

many thanks,  
Adrian

The correct URL is [http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/](http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/) - if, and  
only if, you are using the script/plugin install command. If you want  
more control over the version of the plugins you are using, have a  
look at [http://svn.rails-engines.org/README](http://svn.rails-engines.org/README). This is particularly  
important if you are using Edge Rails.
