For add-on products, there's a tutorial: <http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/third-party-products> and for the tutorial itself: there are enhancements in the pipeline. but nothing shows up. The most common omission is, not changing ownership for the add-on product's directory (and its contents. For Plone 3.0.5 installations produced by the installer for Mac OS X, owner should be plone so in Terminal, cd to the directory of the add-on product then sudo chown -R plone . Are there known issues? <http://dev.plone.org/plone/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&component=Installer+%28Mac+OS+X%29&order=priority> shows issues relating to Installer (Mac OS X). At the time of writing: only three, none of them bugs. Howzat? ---- If ever you spend much time with add-on products, then take some time out to acquaint yourself with 'buildout'. <http://plone.org/documentation/tutorial/buildout/?searchterm=zc.buildout> Buildout is a very intelligent approach, which (amongst many other things) ultimately simplifies the tasks associated with management of add-on products. At <https://launchpad.net/plone/+download> you'll find 'Plone 3.0.5 Unified Installer Plus Buildout (Experimental)'. IMHO the 'Experimental' label belies the maturity of the 'Unified' and 'Buildout' approaches. If you opt for this type of installation, for production service, then at /Library/Startup Items you should customise the Plone startup item (or a copy thereof) to suit the path chosen when running the install.sh script (there are two typically preferred paths, based upon a simple choice at script runtime, the most appropriate path will be used).
