The new site automatically zips all attachements because of a known security flaw in Internet Explorer. This means that all ZenPacks that are downloaded from the ZenPacks pages need to be unzipped before installation.

A zipped ZenPack will not install correctly, providing output similar to this:

Output:
zenpack --install /tmp/ZenPacks.networking.HPProcurve-1.1-py2.4.egg.zip

ERROR: zenpack command failed. Reason: [Errno 20] Not a directory: '/usr/local/zenoss/Products/ZenPacks.networking.HPProcurve-1.1-py2.4.egg/skins'

Done installing ZenPack.

Re: Downloaded ZenPacks must be unzipped

Matt,

This is a good solution to document in a FAQ. I ran into this issue and unzipping the ZenPack resolved the error.

Thank you,
Ken

Re: Downloaded ZenPacks must be unzipped

It is already in the Community FAQ.
docs/DOC-2445#IamgettingErrno20tryingtoinstallZenPacks
It's also in bold at the top of every Zenpack page.

Perhaps a better solution would be to have Zenoss implement some logic
to try unzipping the file before throwing the error...

Yes it was in the FAQ. I was searching for Error 20 and not Errno 20 in the FAQ.

Thank you,
