When you used wget the file was saved as woopra_unix.sh.1 , and you executed the other commands with woopra_unix.sh.

use mv woopra_unix.sh.1 woopra_unix.sh then the other steps.

Well spotted! It didn't work the 1st time so I did it again for a clean cutnpaste - makes no difference though. It still doesn't work :-(

Try the following:
wget http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh?anti-cache=12398794379
chmod 777 woopra_unix.sh
./woopra_unix.sh

Problem solved thanks to WoopraChat - my ISP was caching the broken file

Add a random string to the end of the wget:

wget http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh?ecwwer2
mv woopra_unix.sh\?ecwwer2 woopra_unix.sh

Then as before.
Thanks to all for helping fix it - runs great.

this work finally for me :

Try the following:
wget http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh?anti-cache=12398794379
chmod 777 woopra_unix.sh
./woopra_unix.sh

j4k, thanks! adding ?anti-cache=... got it to work for me!

Just in case anybody gets stuck, I should mention that the file that was downloaded was named woopra_unix.sh?anti-cache=12398794379, not just woopra_unix.sh, as mentioned in the post. Moving the file (or just using the longer name) is necessary.

Yep, it works here too! :-)

One thing though, that I had to figure out myself. My system, for some reason I cannot explain, was not using the latest (1.6) Java version. If that happens to you, you only need to do:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

and select the 1.6 version.

Enjoy!

Great, now it works for me, too. The "static" parameter did the trick :O)

This is working for most people, so make sure that every character is exactly right and that your copy and paste method hasn't converted a quote into a smart quote or missed a character.

Read through the whole post to see the variations people have come up with to make this work and let us know which one works for you and your specific system. Thanks!

I just installed on Ubuntu Gutsy with no hitches. I did however, have to change permissions on the shell, but no issues. I am running Drupal 6.#. It seems to work flawlessly at this point.

Hello,

I'm using Debian Sid and cannot install the Woopra client. I followed the Tips above, and the install process starts, asking the path to install Woopra and the symlink. But after this appears an error message:

"java.io.IOExeption: wrong magic number"

The error log is like this:

Exception:

java.io.IOException: wrong magic number

Any hints?

this topic might help you:
http://www.woopra.com/forums/topic/no-new-linux-download
(scroll down to the 3rd and 4th posts)

BTW, for the topic, I'm running Woopra on FedoraCore, no problems (well, I'm having the eternal "Loading!" problem; but no isntallation problems).

Downloaded the script
chmod +x the script
ran the script

I also have to set INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun in the script.

Now I followed the instruction in the thread you noted, but the result is the same as above.

wget --no-cache http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix.sh?x
chmod +x woopra_unix.sh
./woopra_unix.sh

I just uploaded a copy of the unix file:

wget http://static.woopra.com/woopra_unix_x.sh
chmod +x woopra_unix_x.sh
./woopra_unix_x.sh

Installed on Ubuntu 8.04 with no problems.

But I spotted a bug: If you go fullscreen and then go to 'options', you have to restore and minimize the main window in order to see the 'options' window.
