Addon Installing - Download Error -228

[shandy]

I've just checked this topic viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1977881 and I have the same problem - I can't install any addon or theme . Are you sure this is the problem with server because other users can install (random) addons? I'm getting this -228 download error and I've re-enabled cache - 100mb (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_ins ... Error_-228) but I still have the problem. Please HELP!

I'm getting this -228 download error and I've re-enabled cache - 100mb

Try the other solutions mentioned in the kb article.

Failing that, a workaround is to right-click the download link, select "Save Link As..." and download the .xpi or .jar file to your computer. You can then manually install it by dragging the file icon onto an open Firefox window

Have you tried the above ???

Did you clear out your cache?

Though I don't get into the depth of that error code you are getting I put it into Google and came up with this stuff.
