   I guess the problem is FTP information sends session ID with 'post', but install package does that with 'get'.

Packages.php

Find:

function PackageInstallTest()
{
    global $boarddir, $txt, $context, $scripturl, $sourcedir, $modSettings;

    checkSession('get');

Replace:

function PackageInstallTest()
{
    global $boarddir, $txt, $context, $scripturl, $sourcedir, $modSettings;

    checkSession('request');

I just followed this example SiNaN and it fixed the problem.

Thanks SiNaN

Kragno,

If the above solution didn't work for you, Verify that the changes where indeed made. If this still doesn't fix it, open a support topic and make sure to point out that you have already tried this.

You may be running into another error.
