Echoing Sheryltoo's request. Where do I find the Sources/Packages.php file?

sheryltoo

I can tell you where I found it and hopefully it's in the same place for you.
I first opened my SMF folder at my host site and looked for a folder in that folder called "Sources."
I opened that folder and then looked for the file called "packages.php."
Then you have to scroll down and find the word that needs to be replaced.
BTW, once I changed the word, I was able to install packages so it worked like a charm.

Thanks Sheryl...I was hoping I could find it through the Admin section of the forum itself... :(

The fix did not work for me, so I renamed Packages.php to Packages1.php

and I renamed Packages.php~ to Packages.php

Now everything is working fine. (so far)  ;D

Bad idea... that opens you back up to all of the vulnerabilities in 1.1.6.

If it didn't work for you, open a new support topic about the issue.

[ previous comment deleted, as was beaten to it!! ]  lol 

I havent had this problem yet, but cheers for the fix mate :)
Do NOT give admin and/or ftp details to just anybody, see if they are trust worthy first!!  Do your homework ;)

Sorry, I was WRONG,  I can now install my old packages that are in Package Manger, but I still can't see my new uploaded packages in Package Manager.

I guess i'll change it back like SlammedDime said and just hang till 1.1.8

I'll lock this topic. You can start a new topic for your problem (if any) and we'll get to it.
