Everytime when I try to uninstall a package, just after I click "uninstall now", SMF loads a blank screen ( only changes the URL with uninstall2: ...action=admin;area=packages;sa=uninstall2;package=...), then if I refresh it it happens again. And if I click enter on the url box, I get "Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again."
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Edit: I just discovered I can't install packages either, same problem as for uninstalling
EDIT2:
Solved. If you get this error (just a blank page with nothing after the (un)install now click), check the backups folder inside Packages folder, since you may have (like me) like 200MB of them. Just make some space and it'll be fine.
tl;dr This problem is because of not having enough space for the next backup. Just make some space in your account.
PS:
Thank you very very much to mrtarkhan and k@ for all of their help n.n!
check the uninstall file, maybe it not exist in your package folder.
if you have a problem with that, you can uninstall it by own.
or you can change the url with this :
action=admin;area=packages;sa=uninstall;package=...), and remove 2.
It happens with all packages. So it's not the package. Without the 2, it just reloads the pre-uninstall page.
By the way, everything passes the uninstall test, too.
change your theme to default.
if you have this problem again, replace a your package.php file (Sources folder) with new one.
I have the default theme... tried replacing packages.php with the fresh one (it was the same size) and it didn't work either.
Maintenance => Database => Optimize all tables
it is a good choice when you have a problem like this.
and see this too :
log
your last package and your version ?
Just curious...
Inside your "Packages" directory, do you have another, named "tmp"?
If not, try making one and make sure it's read/write enabled.
Anything in your error-log?
Optimize didn't work.
Made the tmp dir and didn't work either.
The error log gave me this: 2: fopen(/home/a8468215/public_html/Sources/Admin.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied
I changed everything to 777 and didn't work.
The worst part of this is I tried to install a package manually and didn't work either T___T

In what way?
Following this instructions. http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse
Maybe I just screwed it up, I don't think it's related, but I was just letting my frustration out.
I think we've all been there... :(
Maybe there's a problem with the file permissions.
If you look, in Admin>Packages>File permissions, is that set to "Standard"?
Nothing, and not with "free", either.
By the way, I think the weird part is that it's not even giving me an error or something, it just loads a blank page ._."

That's saying that there's something that you're trying to access that you're not allowed to.
Have you had your site for very long?
To me (I could be wrong), that points to you not having full ownership of the files on your site.
Yes, I know you own your site. This is a different thing. ;)
Can you contact your host and ask them? (They'll know what you mean, unless they're dumb).
But why all of the sudden? The support tickets on 000webhost take so long T__T
I have to add, error log just showed that once, if I try again, it just doesn't install and no error is returned.
If you want to forget about this, can you please explain me why when I manual install the mod above, I can't see any options in the admin panel? Error Log says: 8: Undefined index: awards_settings (and there's one for every name there, like awards_name, etc.)
When you do the manual edits, you do them for the theme that you're using, yes?
The edits that are made to files that are for the default theme also have to be made to the corresponding files that the custom theme has. (If they exist)
No idea why this could have suddenly just started happening.
Thing is, though, som hosts do things and don't even tell their clients.
One member, here, had his host change almost everything and his forum's been in tatters, since!
Ok, I'll send a ticket... and no, I'm using default theme, and changed everything accordingly (triple checked already x.x)
I found this:
This feature is useful when you have any files created by PHP (for example if you installed Joomla or used some file upload script), ownership of these files usually changes to "99" or "nobody" and you are not be able to delete or modify such files by FTP or File Manager, you will get "Permission denied" errors (such files can be deleted by PHP script only).
This tool fixes ownership for all files inside of your account, so you can edit or delete without problems.
Did it, and still not working x.x does the universe just hate me? xD
excuse me,
do you change your cpanel password ?
I feel like that, sometimes. :(
Check with your host.
If you get no joy, come back here and we'll try and figure something out, OK?
In the meantime, someone else might have some suggestions that you could try.
I have just thought... I have get sometimes the possibility to set ftp password and username to make smf take care of ftp, but with an added "path to smf" textfield. I think maybe it could have something to do with it, or at least I want to try to see what's there, but in the section it only asks for host, user and port (no password or path)... so... how do I edit it?
I also changed the password recently, so I want to make sure it's correct too o.o"
If your password was wrong, you couldn't connect to the database, so it's not that.
The path to SMF must be right, too, or your forum simply wouldn't work, at all.
and do you change your .htacess file in your smf.
for Example you want change your address automaticly from non-www to www version.
But the path for the ftp, I meant.
I didn't understand what mrtarkhan said, but .htaccess inside packages has:
<Files *>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
</Files>

for password i make mistake :-[ excuse me.
for htaccess :
i say if you use a redirected code in your file, your url don't work correctly. is it clear ?
htaccess only has what I already posted. I even removed it from the site and it still happens. I'll upload another smf to the same host, and see if it works.
Edit:
Just did it and everything worked fine. Same webhost, so it has to be something with the other installation T_T
anyone? T_T this is so frustrating
Edit:
I edited packages.php, commenting "checkSession();" on "function PackageInstall();", and now if I put the 2 manually, I don't get the "Your session timed out while posting. Please go back and try again." error, just blank page.
removebumping!
I dunno what that .htaccess was about, to be honest...
Have you tried this, to check the paths and stuff?
http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=663
Tried that with no luck. Thanks for trying to help, it's very appreciated
Just had an idea...
In Admin>Packages>Options, you'll see "FTP Server:".
What's in that box?
Keep a copy of what's there, now. (Paste it in Notepad, or something), then change it to "localhost". (You can put it back, as-was, if this doesn't help).
Does that make any difference?
Apologies, if I've already suggested this.
didn't work. Same blank screen.
I was wondering if there's some way to debug the actions of the InstallPackage() action on the packages.php file that executes in the install2 step (I hope it doesn't sound too confusing xD). I'm certain that the package uploads and deploys into the temp dir, so it must be something that stops the script after that (just don't have any idea of what)
I can see where you're coming from, with that.
Problem is, why would that affect you and not all of us, if it is that?
Odd that this is happening with installs AND uninstalls, though, innit?
I've been thinking (because I'm a php noob, but I have my ways with java), so I'm thinking is not that packages.php is wrong, but a function/variable/etc. that it's been called from there is the cause (maybe in another file modified by an installation).
I often debug my programs adding a print after a function and if it executes, I cut the print and paste it after the next function. That way I can isolate the problem.
So... echo didn't work to make something like that, and I'm wondering, is there something that I can put in packages.php that will execute in a visual way?
PS:
Maybe, just maybe, Aeva 1.1b was the last mod I installed (and I can't update it because I can't install xD)
If you have a look at your error log, you might find some clues.
Nothing new since the error I reported (which apparently doesn't have anything to do xD)
can u uninstall a package and after it past the last log here ?

What about the error-log in your CPanel?
@mrtarkhan - Problem is, that I can't uninstall a package.
@K@ - I think I have no error log in my CPanel o.o
Under the "Logs" section, "Error logs"?
This is your site's CPanel, not SMF.

i know, just do it to see the blank page. after it go to error log.
you say your problem not is your permisions, FTP, SMF source, theme, DB.
so it must have a reason for that .
see your error log in smf and cpanel.
and i say it again: make a backup of DB and install your SMF again !

There's only "activity log", I'm using 000webhost.

The blank page does not generate any error. I'll try to install it again, looks like is never gonna be solved T_T
take this suggestion :
suicide!

i just kidding.
QuoteThe blank page does not generate any error. I'll try to install it again, looks like is never gonna be solved T_T
so i am sure the problem is your DB. O:)
So if I reinstall the forum, and restore the DB it will happen again... what part of the DB? xD
EDIT: F***ING FIXED! xD see first post for details!
OO! Yeah!
They can take-up a lot of room, those backups!
Might be good to keep the files saved on your computer, though.
They can come in handy.
Thanks for letting us know, kirbyiwaki! Might well help others, in the future, that!
thanks kirbyiwaki
