Getting "Installation failed" on updates, even on success
Hi, I'm working on an add-on which is returning a generic "Failed to install addon" (ADDON_INST_FAIL) error message when I install it on top of an existing installation (update). At the same time I...
Most likely cause is that you're restarting Apache either in install.sh or remove.sh (the latter being the most likely cause). This will interrupt the installation process which itself is a subprocess of Apache in such a way that it will emit the "Installation failed" message. To fix this, do NOT restart Apache using either the "kill ..." or the "-k restart" method. Instead use "-k graceful" which will only restart those Apache processes that aren't occupied with a task immediately. Thus, the install subprocess will finish normally first and once that it is done it will also restart.
