Problem Installing Packages

[PeteShag]

Hello SMF community first of all . Today I decided to use SMF. All good, installed easy. I installed two forums. One  version 1.1.12 and one 2.0 RC4. The v2.0 worked like a charm but the v 1.1.12, no, I could not install packages, getting the error

Code Select Expand


512: package_flush_cache(): some files are still not writable
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/break745/public_html/exhilarant/Sources/Subs-Package.php //It's already set to 777(tried 755 as well)


the same error with every other mod as well. So I decided to upgrade the 1.1.12 to version 2.0 RC4. All good, converted the existing tables and SMF 2.0 RC4 was installed successfully. So I thought, I'd try to install a mod, but still getting the same error for each mod.

Yes, the packages folder has permissions set to 777, in the packages folder there is a temp and backup folder with 777 permissions as well. Then I thought to upload mods, via FTP in binary mode. The same thing, same error. The second forum, using 2.0RC4 works like a charm, on the same host, different sub-directory.

Any form of assistance is welcome,

Thanks in advance,

Pete

This bump probably put people off helping you.

Frankly if you are installing new forums you would be better off with the SMF 2.0 RC4 version instead of the SMF 1.1.12 version.

I've upgraded it to 2.0 RC4 already, I think you should re-read my original post.

So what's your problem then? Besides your attitude???

The same thing happens to me all the time, when it does, just relog into your ftp and chmod everything to 777 again... then it will work, for some reason (in my case) after uploading a mod, sometimes the files goto read only..... don't know why... but my fix works for me...

Solved, switched from cPanel to Kloxo, now working. I think there was something wrong with the way cPanel configured my VPS.
