| May 19, 2013 at 6:53 | comment | added | Chethan S. | I faced the same issue with the plugin on Ubuntu 12.04. Followed similar steps outline above except for different file paths. I had to set PGBINDIR environment variable as well. I have explained the steps I followed in my blog post: staygeo.com/2013/05/enabling-postgis-shapefile-and-dbf.html | |
| Mar 20, 2013 at 10:06 | comment | added | rudivonstaden | On my system (ubuntu 12.10), I only had to insert the plugins.ini definition. I think the plugin itself was installed with postgis from the ubuntugis-unstable ppa (see trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Ubuntu1210). There is therefore no need to install the opengeo version of postgis on more recent versions of Ubuntu, but do use the plugins.ini definition given above. | |

| Feb 11, 2012 at 23:30 | comment | added | R.K. | I'm officially out of ideas. Changing the platform in the plugins.ini from platform=linux to platform=unix fixed it for me. | |
| Feb 11, 2012 at 22:47 | comment | added | R.K. | Oh... my bad. This is one tough problem. x_x | |

plugins.d directory didn't exist on my machine. Had to create it and then moved ini file there.

| Feb 11, 2012 at 13:58 | comment | added | R.K. | Also tried moving plugins.ini to plugins.d directory (which did't exist on my machine > Did you create the missing directories? Did some reading and found out that pgadmin3 1.14.0 expects the .ini files to be in /usr/share/pgadmin3/plugins.d/ You might want to create those directories. | |

Thanks for more hints. My shp2pgsql-gui exists in /usr/bin. It does work without any problems when I simply double click it. I already had symbolic link that you mention created. Also tried moving plugins.ini to plugins.d directory (which did't exist on my machine. Restarted Postgres and still no link to the loader in pgadmin :/

Added option to install just the shapeloader.
|
| Feb 10, 2012 at 23:51 | comment | added | R.K. | Could you run find and check if shp2pgsql-gui exists in your filesystem? | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 9:54 | comment | added | user173 | How exactly could i verify that? | |
| Feb 9, 2012 at 3:01 | comment | added | R.K. | Hmmm... I took that plugins.ini file from the OpenGeo version. Maybe you have to set the parameters to match your current configuration? I just checked the package listings at pkgs.org. Could you verify if shp2pgsql is in your PGBINDIR? | |

Thanks for that. Tried your second method and updated my plugins.ini file - unfortunately it didn't change anything :/

Corrected grammar. Removed an excess 'it'.
