Upgrade 1.1.2 problem

[Mayhem30]

This is the error message I am receiving :

Code Select Expand

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

I was going to delete the package and start over, but I get a popup saying :

Code Select Expand

The package your about to delete is currently installed!

(which it isn't)

Any suggestions?

Bump

Did I post this question in the wrong section?

[青山 素子]

No, it's the right section. Support just seems a bit slow.

What are you using to do the update? Are you using the link in the admin center?

[sAce]

1.1.2 or 1.1.12 ?

What are you using to do the update? Are you using the link in the admin center?

[Mayhem30]

Sorry, I meant 1.1.12.

Yes, I'm using the link in the admin center and I have also tried uploading it via the package manager.

[sAce]

Create a "temp" or "tmp" directory with in "Packages" directory And CHMOD to 777

Then give it  a shot.

[Mayhem30]

No, that did nothing.

Also under "Options" I have noticed that when I try to change dir permissions, it no longer prompts me for my ftp info. I do not have that information saved - so I'm not sure what the heck is going on.

[Mayhem30]

I managed to get further in FireFox - but something is still wrong.

I clicked on "Apply Mod" and it showed that everything was going to be sucessful. I went ahead and patched it and it said :

The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes.

Yet the SMF version number did not change and it still shows that I can "Apply Mod".

[sAce]

In Admin Home, Click on detailed version link, that would tell you if the files were updated

[Mayhem30]

No, the files are still v1.1.11

[sAce]

MAke sure the files are writable and try the update again.

[Mayhem30]

I have already tried that - It still show the "Apply Mod" button.

[sAce]

Could you please please PM me a test admin account details.

[nikoskar]

the same issue hear.

I am also having problems updating thru the packages.  I am getting the error message

./Sources/Subs-Package.php Test failed

Everything else passed.  Not sure what to do.

Any help would be very appreciated.

@ Mayhem30
-  Any update on this issue ? if package manager is still failing try the large upgrade ( Note - all mods and custom coding will be lost, so make a backup )

[Mayhem30]

Yes, sorry the package manager is still failing.

Large upgrade is not an option as I have made custom edits over the last 4 years - and have not kept track of the changes.

This is all the error logs shows :

Make sure the FTP path is correct. It might be different from the forum's physical path. An alternative is to fix permissions manually using a local FTP program or at the shell or asking your host to set permissions.

[Mayhem30]

This issue has been resolved. 

All I needed to do was temp change the owner of the forum directory (so the apache webserver is the owner) - and then the update installed without a hitch.
