Help with creating an Application Vault package

[ericanderson]

I have recently been trying to create an application vault package for some software I have written. I have read the documentation at the following locations:

http://download1.sw-soft.com/Plesk/Plesk7/Doc/pdf/p7-howto_apps_vault-linux.pdf
http://download1.sw-soft.com/Plesk/...5r-sdk-html/docs/application_vault/index.html

I have created all the necessary files and packaged it up as an RPM. When I attempt to upload the RPM to Plesk I get the following:

Error: This file is not a valid site application package.
sappmng: test_package: failed to test RPM package /tmp/phpfrrEOo

The RPM is not installed and the process fails. I did a test install the RPM manually to ensure the RPM is valid and it seemed to install the files fine. So I'm not sure what the problem it. The error message indicates it is trying to test the RPM package but I'm not sure what it is testing or how to fix it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Still have not determined my problem yet but I did find the following URL:

http://download1.sw-soft.com/Plesk/Plesk7.5/Doc/plesk-7.5r-sdk-html/api/avault_api/info.xml.dtd

Unfortuantly the applications that come with Plesk don't even follow this DTD but my app now does validate just in case.

More updates. I took a closer look at the actual install applications in the Application Vault. They seem quite different than the documentation suggests. I have updated my package to match these other packages in hopes that will help.

In addition I found out that if I install the RPM manually then hit refresh the application will display in the vault.

My problem now is that it will not install. I believe I have a correct form and handler but all I get is a blank page when I try to install the application.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
