I have installed Omeka 1.5.3 via one click install on Dreamhost - using the Encoded Curtain theme & Contribution plugin to gather goodies for our archive.:
http://www.artstash.artrocksathens.com/ARAArt/contribution
I want to use the Dropbox plugin from the back end to upload items I've accumulated via upload forms before using Omeka. I keep getting controller errors when I try. ARGH!
I've tried every trick I could find here. NOTHING works. HELP!
This is the info I get when go to the 'items' tab, click 'add item' after Dropbox is activated, the 'files' folder has write permission '777' and there are files ftp'd into it:
Omeka has encountered an error

Holy Cow! I got dropbox to work!! First I 86'd the plugin on the server - uninstalled it. Then I downloaded a fresh copy, deleted every instance of it everywhere on my computer, emptied the trash and restarted…
Then I FTP'd the fresh copy to the plugins folder, detached from the server after changing the permissions on the 'files' folder.
I opened Safari, purged the cache, loaded the Omeka Dashboard, and installed Dropbox again. Weird thing was it was listed twice in the plugins settings! But this time when I clicked the Dropbox tab on the Dashboard I got the happy page, not an error.
I closed the browser - FTP'd some images to Dropbox's 'files' folder, turned detached from the server - then opened a browser window, purged the cache again, opened the Omeka Dashboard, clicked the Dropbox tab…
THE FILES I FTP'd were ALL THERE! And I could edit them without causing any errors!!! OMG.
I don't know what happened before - I had reinstalled this plugin trying to fix the error thing, but this time it worked.
