Having problems with the package manager?

[metallica48423]

make sure there is a 'temp' directory set to 777 (or 755 if your host doesn't allow 777) within it.

if 'temp' doesnt work, try 'tmp'

Hrrm, tried the temp folder fix, didn't work, but I noticed that I was getting 74 pages of errors all along these lines:

2: gzclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
File: /home/mydir/www/sgw/forums/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 2105

However, despite this, it claims the package was installed correctly, the test were successful, but the package isn't doing what it is supposed to do.

i'm leaning towards this being a server configuration problem... i can't be sure... you might want to start a new thread in the support boards.. not too many look at this thread as it it wasn't meant much as a support topic but rather as a solution to a possible problem.

If you start a new topic, it may at least get some others attention.

Also be sure to include in that the contents of this discussion as well as your php and mysql versions

Thanks!

Thanks BlackMage, I've posted a new topic in hopes somebody knows how to help. ^^

Just FYI -
I was having the same problem with the permissions issue and the temp folder fix did the trick.  I'm using RHEL 4 and Apache 2.x.

Posted too soon.  It went through the unpacking and looked like it installed the mod, but it doesn't work and errors when you try to uninstall it.  I've tried everything and can't get this thing to work.

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Your host hasn't responded yet, have they?

[brianjw]

nope

[perplexed]

has anyone come up with a fix yet for the modification parse error problem in package manager.  I saw one of the mods said they were working on a fix that would work for everyone but that was a few weeks ago.

I have tried all the suggestions and they don't work for me.  I really need the fix.  I can't install any new mods on my second site and my sites really need to be the same.

I think you're talking about PHP 5.2 bugs, but have you tried this anyway: 
No Temp Directory Removal

hmm I hadnt seen that but I just tried it and it made no difference   still get modification parse error.  Thanks for trying though.  I guess I just have to wait (or stop installing mods) till they come up with a solution.

Can't you install big mods only, or not even very small ones?

The Package Manager is seriously annoying me.

I can't install themes, I can't install mods, I can't even upgrade to the new version (from 1.1.2), because I keep getting 'parse modification errors' when I try to install anything.

How do I fix this?

What is the PHP version running on your server? PHP 5.2 has some issues and a workaround should be introduced in a future version of SMF.

Have you tried updating your forum to SMF 1.1.3?

[brianjw]

Ok - wait wait, there is a smf 1.1.3?

PHP 5.2.3, so I guess I'll have to wait for a future release then.

And the update issue has been fixed, though I had to do it manually for it to work.
