I get the following alert when I tried to install via the Package Manager:

QuoteAn Error Has Occurred!
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

I have SMF 1.0.5 installed. Could this be because my server may have already updated the PHP thing, or is it the file?
Thank you... :)

You'll have to download the package from the first post and upload it to your Packages folder manually.

I get this:

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory is not writable!

Does this mean it is already installed/

It's just the subs.php file right?

Have you read the first post? This is a minor change, you can either make the change yourself in Subs.php or just upload the file attached in the first post.

No, it means either your Packages directory is not writable, or something else is wrong.  Please try doing it manually.

Three days ago, if you tried to get on my site you received a message saying the database couldn't be located.
Tonight I received your message about upgrade 1.05

Okay, I downloaded upgrade 1.05 and installed all the files.  When I try to go to the upgrade screen I get a message saying it can't be found.  It's there... in my www.mysite.com/forum (my real site not mysite) but it won't respond by opening when I address to it.  Am I doing something wrong??

I checked the Sub.php file and the ampersand isn't there.  But when I do the forum/index.php it still tells me the database can't be located.  Is this an ISP problem now??

Happy - could you post the actual error message you are receiving please?
Sounds like your Settings.php file doesn't have the right info to find your database. You could try repair_settings.php - What is repair_settings.php?

I'm a bit confused here about these directions.

Download the update archive file, and upload all of the files from it.
Download the modification file, attached to this message, and modify the files manually according to it.
Download the Subs.php file attached to this mesage, and upload it to your Sources directory (if you have no modifications installed.)
Find the following in Sources/Subs.php:


The update archive contains a number of files.  I can't find that archive.
Then there is the instruction to download the modification file and modify the files. 
Both of thse directions are in the plural and are talking of multiple files.
Then there is the option to download the subs.php which is just one file. So will my site be current if I just FTP the subs.php file or are there more files to edit or change?

Thanks

bubbahs

so the subs file is the the only thing that needs to be changed? Correct?

those are 4 different options you have for the patch, 4 steps of the same direction.

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.


That's the message I receive when I try to go to my site.  This is the message I receive when I try to load the upgrade.php file:

Page not found
The page you are looking for might have been removed,
had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


I get the same message as above when trying to use the repair_settings.php .

Have you contacted your host?  You might try to verify your connection information with repair_settings.php... What is repair_settings.php?

I can't get into repair_settings.php.  I get a message saying it can't find the page, even though I uploaded it to my site.
