Hi,

On installing the Splunk-Twitter connector app, when I try to set it up with my OAuth settings, I encounter an error as follows:

Encountered the following error while trying to update: In handler 'localapps': Cannot find item for POST arg_name="/data/inputs/script/.%5Cbin%5Cstream_tweets.py/enabled"

What is the solution to this?

Ran into the same problem. I ended up changing "%5C" to "/" in the setup.xml and it worked.

Though now I am receiving " Error while posting to url=/servicesNS/nobody/twitter2/storage/passwords/" This error appears even if you follow the before mentioned advice of removing it from the setup.xml file.

I experience the same error when installing another app on Splunk 6.0. Not sure if this is a bug or not, but when I removed a section of setup.xml that use '/data/inputs/script' endpoint, the error disappeared and the setup page worked. I guess the workaround for this might be to use custom endpoint (via python script) instead.
