Having problems with the package manager?

Hi everyone...I'm getting this error when I try to install this MY SQL patch through the package manager:

2: copy(SSI.php~): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /home/compuhel/public_html/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1307

Also...for some odd reason I can't alter my chmod settings for my source/packages/temp directory or any files in it on my ftp...when I change the folder from 755 to 777 and try to delete it...it fails and switches right back to 755.

The same goes for it's contents...they fail  to delete and switch right back to 666.

I recently had a mod/theme conflict issue and my host and I re-installed SMF 1.05 overwriting all of my old files and deleted the old theme, and now I'm using the default theme.

Everything looks and works fine now..but my package manager doesn't seem to want to work.

I tried using the fix_ownership file - but it still isn't working and the same thing happens.

And my source folder is set to 777..so I'm stuck.

I am a novice at this, so I have no clue what that error means...so speak slowly please and use small words....there is now a dumb person in the room...lol

Thanks!

Fixed it...my chmod on my Subs-Package.php was set wrong...once I changed it to 777....everything went fine.

Thanks for everything everyone.

Oh and BTW....SSI.php~ wasn't even there to delete.

How's that for wierd?

The problem it was having was creating the backup of SSI.php.  There is an option in the Package Manager that disables creating a backup of the original files.  If you experience that again you can try disabling that and see if it works correctly.

Using SMF 1.5, I keep getting 'Failure' when it tries to update the files, though I have '777' CHMOD for them, whats the deal?

JayBachatero

Failure means that the mod couldn't find the line it was looking for.  The mod you are installing might be incompatible with 1.0.5

all the fix_ownership.php seems to do is take you to a screen to fill out FTP info,

on local host it won't work because localhost FTP is usually nonexistant

If it doesn't work when you fill out your FTP info, you might want to try entering the real address of your site in the box. This has seemed to work for some users who can't seem to connect to the FTP server ;)

hello when i go to the package manager and the click on install i get this message even with the ones that say works with my version

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

i am running smf_1-1-rc2_install

JayBachatero

That means that the package has an install for tag in the package-info.xml file that will only let you install it on specific versions.  Check if the mod is compatible with 1.1 RC2.

I just picked up this problem on my board as well.

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

Yes the packages are RC2 compatible and it's doing it on all packs.

Also at the same time our avatars no longer display on our post's.

I also get this error:

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

I'm running SMF verison 1.06

Is there a way of manually installing mods??

 For some reason the package manager is trying to log in as anonymous even when I manual input the info in its popup ftp window thing. This started after I installed BBC edit tags, Group Moderators, and Integrated Chat, then I uninstalled Integrated chat because I didn't like it and was going to try the other chat mod I saw. It hung for a long time after then uninstall of Integrated Chat. After that I tried to install the Enhanced post Template and it said I didn't have permission to access the directory so then I went to the maintenance menu and ran the check and repair files thing, it repaired a few files, after that it acted like it was installing packages but it wasn't so I replaced all the source files. Same thing was happening. Then I ran the repair_settings.php and it started popping up with the FTP login popup thing. I put in all the info correctly and it kept telling me I was not allowed access to that directory. I then talked to my web host service and they said it was trying to log in as anonymous. We have worked around it by giving access to the directory to anonymous but this causes security issues. I am running SMF 1.1 RC2 and my web host is a virtual dedicated server running win2003 server I have set up another forum on another site and duplicated the process that caused it and it did not do it to that one so I think this is just a fluke. I also noticed that under permissions, administrator in the permissions column it now says "1" instead of "all".  Does anyone know how to fix this?

I can't install any mod in RC2.
I get the following error
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

although Packages folder and everything inside is under CHMOD 777

Any ideas?

JayBachatero

CHMOD all the theme and Source files.  CHMOD it to 777 if it doesn't work try 755.
