typo3 8.7.9 - download language package and update extension list failed - typo3

I already installed TYPO3 8.7.9, changed the language to german but can't download the language pack. It says:
Error
The request has failed.
Also if I change the dropdown in Extensions to Get Extensions it says:
Update Extension List
Could not access remote resource https://repositories.typo3.org/mirrors.xml.gz
I'm using MAMP on Windows 7. Also in the System environment check there are four orange issues which - I thought - already fixed in the php.ini:
Low PHP script execution time
PHP max_input_vars very low
Windows apache thread stack size
PHP extension fileinfo not loaded
Do you think it had something to do with "curl"? It often appears during my Google research.
I would be pleased if someone could help me :)

I can access this file via browser, so it's available. A missing curl could be the problem, you're right.

Typo3 broken: Frontend / Backend blank pages and no errors even after restoring backup

I was fixing things on a not well-maintained typo3 installation and it resulted in blank pages of frontend, backend and install tool.
I wanted to fix extensions because the powermail-extension was not working anymore even after updating to latest compatible version (tried emptying cache and database compare).
I deactivated an extension "compatibility6" to see if it was interfering and since then all pages have been blank including Install Manager. I reactivated the extension via PackageStates.php, emptied the cache but it did not change anything. I was not able to see any error messages even though I set the parameter in LocalConfiguration.php which made it hard to try to find out what is wrong. Then I restored a backup using vmware. Still, backend and frontend are blank.
I am using Apache and Typo3 7.6.23.
I do not know what might be causing the problem and would like to know what else to look for?
It means you have a PHP error there. The first thing would be to examine logs. If you see anything like "class not found", then your next action would be composer dumpautoload --no-dev.
Long time ago I had an article about blank pages in TYPO3 FE. Not up to date but still can be helpful: https://www.dmitry-dulepov.com/2009/03/blank-empty-page-in-typo3.html
Dmitry already wrote it: you have an error.
In production environment nothing is shown for not revealing any information about your system.
So the only information about the error can be found in the error log of your webserver.
What can you do to get more information about your error?
Enter the install tool and switch to develop mode. This will also enable deprecation logging into a file. Try to avoid filling your system with deprecation warnings by disabling deprecation logging.
Disable the default exceptionhandler by adding this to your typoscript setup:
config.contentObjectExceptionHandler = 0
Now you should see a call stack instead of blank screens.
Be aware that this might reveal confidential information from your system.
because of this you should use a copy of the live-system.

Enable preset plugins in Ckeditor 4.5.8

I am using CKeditor via cdn //cdn.ckeditor.com/4.5.8/full/ckeditor.js.
I wish to enable a preset plugin and do not know how to go about it. i need clear code example.
I have seen this tutorial on using the cdn but it talks about local plugins.
Code snippet is one of the plugins I want to enable.
Working locally with CKeditor in laravel 5.2 is a lot of headache. I keep have this error SyntaxError: illegal character when I inmport my javascript files. My laravel view uses blade template engine. I do not have this issues with CDN imports.
I resolved the issue after many days. all the javascript(not only Ckeditor or Tinymce) files I imported in laravel always gave the syntaxError: illegal character like this
I notices that in every response a header information was automatically pasted as well as a funny character. I solved this using two major steps.
I opened all the javascript files using notepad++ and deleted the first line (usually comments) using backspace and type it back manually, then saved the files.
I realized the header info HTTP/1.1 200 OK was some how related to the server configuration. I switched form using the in-built server php artisan serve to virtual host on xampp. And everything works well.
NB: This problem has nothing to do with Laravel 5.x. I personally think that this problems arise due to the copying and pasting, and downloading of files from the server.
To benefit from the advanced features of a full flesh server, I decided to use virtual host in xampp for development.
I am very happy. Hope it helps!

What language does SmartFoxServer 2x use on the server side?

I have downloaded and started the community version of SFSx2. I read everything on their documentation page:
http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/DevelopmentBasics/introduction
Which unfortunately only talks about flash client side code. Nothing about the corresponding server side code, nor about html5 client side which I need.
I downloaded the HTML5 examples, which took me a long time to find (they are here: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/140 )
None of the examples work, as they can't connect to the server. Presumably, this is because the examples only supply client side code. There are no instructions supplied on how to install or run the examples.
I can find no mention on the smartfox documenation on the following:
1) what language is used on the server side. One assumes its java.
2) how does one deploy java code to the smartfox server? I cant find any mention of this in the docs.
3) how does one find and install the server part of the client side examples (which are Tris, GameLobby, BuddyMessenger, AdvancedChat).
I applied to be allowed to post on the smartfoxserver forums, but no reply yet.
I also found it hard so I share what I've found out.
The server extensions are written in Java. I used Eclipse JUNO to write my code.
You can download Eclipse here. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
You export the extension in jar format from eclipse into you extension path. The name of your file has to end in 'extension' eg MyFirstExtension.jar otherwise sfs2x wont recognize it. Your extension path will be something like this: C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\extensions\MyFirstExtension\MyFirstExtension.jar if your working in windows.
You will find docs on JAVA API here. http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/api-docs/javadoc/server/
This is a link to the basic example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/120
Unzip the content into the [SFS2X_install_folder]/SFS2X/www/root/examples folder, overwriting the existing file. Run the index.html file, then navigate to another index.html to open the example. Run the sfs2x-standalone.exe first of course(see below). If you followed the 'server configuration tutorial' on smartfox website and changed the server ports, the examples wont work. Leave the ports alone until you start to understand the server.
This is a link to the flash example code: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/download/get/108
You will find the example code for apps mentioned above. They are written in Adobe Flash Builder and Java extensions. I don't know if there is any code for HTML5 but the Java server code and AS3 is there.
I also found that using the standalone server was the way to go rather than using SFS2x as a service. c:\program files\smartfoxserver2x\sfs2x\sfs2x-standalone.exe. Using the exe gives you the command prompt window. You can use the window for debugging and see the state of the server when it starts.
Most of the examples should work without creating extensions but to create an extension out of source examples:
Create and setup a new project in your Java IDE. You will have already set up a workspace.
Copy the content of the /source/server/src folder to your project's source folder.
Add SFS2X Libraries. Go to properties of the project -> Select Java Build Path -> Click Library Tab -> Add external jar. Add 'sfs2x.jar' and 'sfs2x-core.jar' from C:\Program Files\SmartFoxServer2X\SFS2X\lib folder. To create the extension, export jar file to extension path. Restart server.
Another problem I had was the Java Version I was using. I had to use Java1.6 with my version of sfs2x when writing extensions. This was trial and error as there was no documentation. There may be a newer version out now.
I had to copy all the server source into eclipse to try and understand how things were done. It was a way of having all the code in one place. There was a lot of trial and error as getting help is hard. I eventually accomplished what I set out to achieve. Good Luck.
SmartFox Server is easy to use even with extension. documentation Give try to Nuggeta solution for game development too. No extension needed at first. This is optionnal.

Permission error media TYPO3 6.1.0

I've got a Problem i can't upload any Media files in my Typo3 Backend.
If i choose a file in the Element browser I get a Internal Server Error 500, If i use upload i get this Error: Link Error
I also can't see the Thumbnails
I made the Files tyo3conf, fileadmin, typo3 and typo3temp with 777 access.
Imagemagick is also running and shows me all Test images.
Can anybody help me, I dont't know what do do.
The TYPO3 Version I use is: 6.1.0
I get a Internal Server Error 500
Have a look in your TYPO3 log accessible by the "log" backend module. If you can't find something there, get access to your vhost error log from the webserver. Usually, some sort of view capabilities are provided by some hoster control panels. Since it is a server error, you usually have to check the server log.
I also can't see the Thumbnails
Check your install tool again and play with the different options there. Also check that, in install tool > basic configuration, you have set the default paths (maybe let the install tool search again). You may see the test images, but if they're not generated correctly or display warnings, it may not work correctly.
Generally said: It is not really programming related, so IMHO not a fit for stackoverflow.com. Ask for help on irc.freenode.net in the #typo3 channel, this may be more helpful.

phpmyadmin blank screen after installing Zend server

I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTE. Then I installed phpmyadmin. Everything was good. I used phpadmin to do lots of DB administration....
Then I installed Zend CE server. Now, phpmyadmin throws a blank page. No login screen.
So, I reinstalled my VPS in the same sequence again. No luck. Same behavior.
This time, I installed Apache, Mysql, PHP and Zend server in that order. Then I installed phpmyadmin....Unfortunately, still blank page on phpmyadmin.
Any help?...Thanks in advance.
First, for all those that posted their suggestions to my above issue, thanks!.
Of course, I had to dig deeper into forums and threads to find the specific root cause and solution for this issue.....and after spending few hours...finally, I resolved it!. Thanks to the following bug discussion link on php.net.
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876
I tired many suggested fixes there but they didn't help. The suggestion that finally fixed the problem was pasted below ( so that let the credit go to the right owner):

If you are gettin the following error:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in...."
Make sure that you have setup the session save path in your php.ini:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
which seems to be disabled by default.
I swear using Open Source software is tough!. I have spent whole day on this issue alone. My goal was to build some software and I have yet to get to it!!.
