I get this:

I found no error corresponding to it in the log.

[wynnyelle]

Thanks or replying, but it isn't helping. It isn't giving me anything specific on where to even look for the error.

[mirahalo]

there are 8 possibilities,  did you try em all?


I will start by checking my Packages folder or the packages files and see if it has the necessary permissions, as the link above mention,.

[wynnyelle]

I don't know how to get in there or where to look for the errors. I don't know code.

Try going to Admin>Packages>File permissions and setting them to "Standard".

[wynnyelle]

Will this erase anything? At all? We recently had all our ultimate profiles erased and I don't even know how it happned. so I'm scared.

By the way I can't GET to the packages page, see topic starter, this is my entire problem.

[kat]

No, it won't erease anything.

Try this link: http://www.yourforumurl.com/index.php?action=admin;area=packages;sa=perms;

and see what happens.

Obviously, you need to change "www.yourforumurl.com" to whatever yours is.

That worked!!!!!!!

So what do I do now to get around the initial problem? Someone tole me its abotu main.js but I don't know what that is.

[Kill Em All]

What is repair_settings.php?

Does that help you?

[kat]

Someone tole me its abotu main.js

I can't even find that file.

Is it part of a mod, or something?
