Package Manager - Help

[tw0sh0t]

Ok, here goes...  I download packages, such as the SMF 1.0.7/1.1 RC2 Update Version 1.0 and various other packages.  They show up in the Browse packages area indicating that I've downloaded them.  I attempt to [APPLY MOD] and the progress bar in I.E. get's to about half way and it stops.  I let it sit there for a good 15 mins or so and then finally it changes to a Page Cannot Be Displayed.  No other error messages.  I tried this in Firefox and I.E.  I ran the "Permissions Tool" (fix_ownership.php) thinking that might fix it.  Didn't do anything.  Running SMF 1.1 RC2.  This is a brand new install.  strange thing is that it did the same thing on my previous install.  First I thought it might be my PC but it does the same thing on my laptop.  Then I thought it might be my connection but it does the same thing when I'm at work and a friends house.  I tried searching the forums but everyone else is at least getting an error message, I'm not getting anything.

Right now my SMF 1.1 RC1 is DEFAULT, I haven't gone switching anything on/off or customizing anything.  Just ran the install.php a while ago and logged in and tried to download/install and APPLY MOD of the update.

HELP?

Thanks.

Umm make sure that all files are writeable.  It might be a host issue and editing files.  If you modify another file like a theme does it take long to save?

[tw0sh0t]

Everything in the Packages directory and under it are CHMOD to 777...  All main directories under public_html are /avitars, /Packages, /Smileys, /Sources, attachments and /Themes are all CHMOD to 777.

Tried installing Tinyportal and it does the same thing.

[tw0sh0t]

Nah I can modify a file and it uploads via my FTP client quickly with no issues.  No "Bad Descriptor" message or anything.

I mean edit the files though SMF.

Try CHMODing ALL of the files.

[tw0sh0t]

Yeah, I was able to make a small color change in the Theme stylesheet and save t with no errors or anything.

I'll look at starting to check each and every file and directory to make sure it's CHMOD'd to 777...  I guess this is gonna take me all night long.  Wish there was a script for that.

Here is my Hosts server info if that helps any.

You can CHMOD them all with SMF if you are running 1.1 RC2.
Admin > Packages > Options

[tw0sh0t]

Yep, tried that and also found a script within my FTP client that had an option to set all subfolders/files so I went through everything CHMOD'd to 777.  Still having the same problem.

[tw0sh0t]

Should I ditch 1.1 RC1 and download/install a fresh install of 1.0.7?

[JayBachatero]

Well 1.1 or 1.0.7 will have the same problem.  Do you get any errors in your error log?

[tw0sh0t]

Yeah, as a matter of fact I do.  But don't really know what it means.  Some type of permission issue?  Cut and pasted: removed my IP.

Make a dir called temp inside the Packages dir and CHMOD it to 777.

[tw0sh0t]

Already one there and it is CHMOD'd to 777

[tw0sh0t]

The file that the error log indicates: File: /public_html/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1147

Line 1147 is:

            unlink($dir . '/' . $entryname);

[JayBachatero]

That area is incharge of deleting the temp files it used to install the mod.  It seems that's where the error is.  Deleting it.  Not sure of a fix for this.  I will do some searching and let you know,

[tw0sh0t]

Well wouldn't everyone else be having this same issue?  I mean it's a fresh install just like anyone else would do for the first time.  If it's something with my HOST what exactly should I tell them in a ticket so they understand what the problem is and how to fix it?

[JayBachatero]

Yeah it might be host related.  Well more specific its a PHP issue.  Let me search a bit and I will see what's up with this.
