Otsikko: Mod installation issues
Kirjoitti: daeos - huhtikuu 13, 2006, 11:03:52 IP
SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC2
After trying to install any mods , such as the Google Spider Mod, I get this error even after making sure that every folder/file in /Packages was chmoded to 777

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

What am I missing?

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

That did the trick! thanks, maybe that should be autocreated by the installer?

The problem is with some hosts.  They don't allow creation of DIR's through PHP.

Umm I guess you have to check your settings and make sure you allow this ;)
