Now is says this.

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

I've never had any problems installing mods. Not sure what is going on.

Do you have a Subs_Package.php and what is its CHMOD permissions?

I'll have to check when I get home tonight. I managed to get things backed out to the point where the package manager is working again.

Here's the strange thing with this mod. When I install it asks me for my ftp user id and password but always says it's incorrect when it isn't. It won't accept my ftp login. I know without a doubt my login is correct. Why is it needing to use ftp when my other mods that i have installed don't?

I hope there is a solution because I need subscription capabilities in the worst way for smf. I have a chance to partner up with someone that could make a nice profit for my site but I can't unless I have paid subscripton capabilities.

drhamad

Because your file permissions are wrong, so it's trying to use FTP instead (or alternatively, because it's adding entire files... I forget if it does this or not).

So what permissions do I need to change and on what files?

drhamad

Anything it needs to edit should be 0777 to be sure.

This particular mod and my host don't like each other apparently. I have three sites running all using the same host and can't install on any of them. I have a test site setup on a different host and it installs fine. Still don't get it, I've installed all kinds of mods on my other sits with never a problem.

How do I know what files it needs to edit?  

drhamad

If you want to do the overkill method, you could just CHMOD 0777 the entire SMF directory (and all files and folders within).

I ended up recreating the temp dir inside the package directory, setting it to 777 and it finally installed.

Next... the mod installed fine with no errors but no trace of the mod in SMF. Nothing in admin and nothing in cp.

What next??

drhamad

Are you using the default Theme?

No, I'm using a custom theme. It did install ok on my test site using the same theme.

If you're using a custom theme, chances are you need to do it by hand.  If it installed on a test site but not an identical, live site... I have no idea.

Is there anyone who can jump in and give me a hand? $$

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen. On my test site..different host but the same ver of SMF, TP, theme, etc. I can install and uninstall at will, everything works perfect. On my live site I can't make it work to save my life. I changed everything to 777 and it still asks me for my ftp login which it won't take even thought it's correct. I finally did something to get it to install and it's not showing up in smf at all.  ??? ???

wk38

I reverted back to the default theme. It keeps bringing up the dialog box asking me for my ftp id and password and then won't take it. Even if I mod everything on the site to 777 is still say's it doesn't have write permission to some files.

wk38

I got it. Created a subs dir under smf and created a temp dir under packages and cmod it to 777. It installed perfectly.

Found the subs tip here

Everything is looking pretty good except I get the 1969 date also. Fix??

Stumpy

Same here.  On a one-year subscription, I get an expiration date of December, 1969.  And as someone else pointed out, the subscribers are stuck in the pending state and I have to manually process them.  Has someone got the answers to those two things?  

Sarke

How do I set it to Canadian dollars?  I tried setting it to "Other", but it just defaults to USD.

I guess we're not ready for prime time with this mod. Bummer...
