After upload smf_patch_2.0.16.tar.gz there was an error message, so I probed to patch with smf_patch_2.0.17.tar.gz, but this failed too.

All other attempts were terminated without an error message with the reference: "The file you want to upload already exists on the server. Please delete it first and try again."

But where I can find (and delete) them on the server?

Martin

How did you upload the file?

What were the errors for the 2.0.16 and .17 files, and when did they pop up? When uploading? When attempting to install the patch?

Within the Packages directory.

Thank You! This was helpful.

Package upload.

Once again.

Error while installation. I do not understand, what is to do (see attachment).

Click the icon to see what the package manager is trying to find.



Then, have a quick read of this to see what to do next:

Your first post didn't specify this:

See attachment, but I can not find $buffer = preg_replace_callback('~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '/') . '\?((?:board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~'" in the file QueryString.php

What goes wrong?

Martin

That line should be in your file, as no mod on this planet would amend it.

I suggest you download your current QueryString.php file and attach it to your next post, so we can have a look at it and advise further.

My current file...

to search:
$buffer = preg_replace_callback('~"' . preg_quote($scripturl, '/') . '\?((?:board|topic)=[^#"]+?)(#[^"]*?)?"~', 'pathinfo_insert__preg_callback', $buffer);
}

replace:
// Be nice and try to inject session tokens into login forms since many older themes don't.
if ($user_info['is_guest'])
$buffer = preg_replace_callback(
'~(<form[^<]+action=login2(.+))</form>~iUs' . (!empty($context['utf8']) ? 'u' : ''),
function ($m) use ($context)
{
$repl = '';
if (strpos($m[0], $context['session_var']) === false)
$repl .= '<input type="hidden" name="' . $context['session_var'] . '" value="' . $context['session_id'] . '"/>';

return $m[1] . $repl . '</form>';
},
$buffer
);

files:
1) QueryString.php (* @version 2.0.9)
2) installed packets

Ok. Despite what I said earlier, something has added a page query.

Make a backup of your "live" QueryString.php file then upload this one. Then try the 2.0.16 upgrade and report back.

Thank You, that has matched!

Do You have any idea, what has caused the different?

Best wishes

Martin

Sorry, no idea.

The file QueryString.php was previously changed by the Simple Portal installation.
