Title: Problem with Package Manager.....
Post by: dougiefresh on January 01, 2015, 03:11:00 PM
I've been having a problem with my website, specially viewing attachments as a guest with a board that is not public.  I'm here in the United States and my friend over in the Netherlands thought it might be an issue in the SMF core coding....  I thought it was a mod causing problems.  In order to eliminate the mods as a source, I uploaded a fresh copy of SMF 2.0.9 over the forum software (obviously after making a backup first).  Problem NOT solved....  (but that's not what I'm dealing with now)

So I went into the Package Manager.  That's when the problems started....  Nothing was installed.  Mind you, I didn't wipe the package log, so all the mods should've shown up as installed....  Restored my backed up files and all packages remained uninstalled, according to Package Manager.

So I wiped the files, the package logs, then reuploaded the core SMF files again.  Applied 150 mods and tried to install the last one and.... poof...  all the mods were once again uninstalled, according to Package Manager.

I checked phpMyAdmin and the logs are still there....  So WTF?!?

How do I get Package Manager to show that the mods are installed?  And yes, they are installed....

dougiefresh,
I will assume your numbers are literal. So when you had 149 mods installed the package manager was fine but when you installed the final 150th mod things went awry? This is what you appear to be saying with the above statement in which case that last mod caused an issue. Uninstall the last mod, does it fix the issue? What was the last mod installed that caused the issue?

Regards.

Have you tried the "Fix Packages" tool?

Available here:

Like I said, no mods are showing to be installed.  So I can't uninstall what SMF says isn't installed.  The "Fix Packages" tool shows nothing installed, and everything that was installed shows as "December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM" within the "Fix Packages" tool.

The field is a "int(10)".  I don't see how it could've exceeded 2,147,483,647 installs....  I cleared the table before installing mods again...

There is no realistic limit... I have had as many as 250 mods installed at once

Well, I've decided to try to build the forum's entire website again, this time on a localhost.  I'll transfer it once I get it done....  Man, this is just a pain...

Is it possible a faulty mod is making the server rollback because data isnt saved correctly or corrupt and it resets the database?

Matter of interest, is one of your 150 mods the "Sorted Package Manager" mod?

I had a whole heap of trouble with this, where it showed just the avatar packs and nothing else. Just sayin'
