Log in to FTP and browse to the Packages directory. Create a new folder there called "temp" and chmod it to 777, then try to install the package again.

meaby this can help?

I don't recommend making the entire public_html folder to be 777. Try to CHMOD all your root SMF folders to 755 and files to 644. Then install the mod again. Can you go back and check the folder permissions to see if it retained the 755 or 777 permission?

sombra

you will ned to go alittle slow here hehehe remember i dont know alot of this can you give me like a manual of what i need to do what files i need to have 77 and what archives i need to have 755 and 644 so i can have a clear view

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

PHP Configuration

Estas configuraciones de PHP son personalizables por el administrador del servidor. Estan listadas como referencia solamente.

  Sub Section    Directive    Info    Value
Language Options    asp_tags    Allow ASP-style <% %> tags.    Off
File Uploads    file_uploads    Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.    On
Paths and Directories    include_path    Windows: "\path1;\path2" c:\php\includes"    .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php
Resource Limits    max_execution_time       30
Resource Limits    max_input_time       60
Resource Limits    memory_limit       32M
Data Handling    register_globals    You should do your best to write your scripts so that they do not require register_globals to be on; Using form variables as globals can easily lead to possible security problems, if the code is not very well thought of.    Off
Language Options    safe_mode       Off
main    session.save_path    where N is an integer. Instead of storing all the session files in /path, what this will do is use subdirectories N-levels deep, and store the session data in those directories. This is useful if you or your OS have problems with lots of files in one directory, and is a more efficient layout for servers that handle lots of sessions. NOTE 1: PHP will not create this directory structure automatically. You can use the script in the ext/session dir for that purpose. NOTE 2: See the section on garbage collection below if you choose to use subdirectories for session storage    N;/path
File Uploads    upload_max_filesize    Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.    8M

i really need this help i had paid for mi host for onw year and know im having this problem

sombra

is theres somthing i can ask the host provider to help me out with this problem?

Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)

Do you get the warning that you should not make it writable while you try to ch mod via FTP ?

If so then tell your host to allow you to do it, or else you will have to do the mod installation manually as the files need the permission of 755 or 777 to install the mods.

sombra

no i dont recive that warning i think hehe

i need to tell my host to alow what? can you explain it to me i dont know alot of this but triying to learn and thanks for the reply

Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)

If it doesnt then chmod the site recursively, it will solve it. Use filezilla, i think it would be best for you.

sombra

i chmod all the folfer of public were i have mi smf installed and it didnt work

what do you mean by chmod the site recursively?

Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)

Well i havent used many of the FTP clients, but in File zilla, there is in option to recursively apply the permissions for folders, files and both aswell.. This will apply the permissions which you have given within the files aswell...

sombra

i made every file 777 and it dosent work by ftp

sombra

i uninstall everything will wait for the host to answer me its a little frustrating :-[ this problem

Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)

After you get any reponse from the host, do inform us if the topic is solved or not.

sombra

well my friend now i can tell you for now i had resolved the big problem that i had

solution for this problem was

making a temp cmod 777 file in Packages Directory then i downloaded this mod

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=724

installed it

then i verified that the temp file was there and it was gone so i made another one and i coud installed the mod then i went back and cheked and the temp folder was still there so i downloaded another mod to test and gess what everithing its working fine now i hope this can help alot of people with the same problem

thanks for you guys for the help and replys

sombra
