Having problems with the package manager?

[Oldiesmann]

Try downloading the "Googlebotv105_smf_1.0.6.zip" file from the mod site and uploading that through your package manager. When there are multiple files associated with a package, the one that you can download through the admin center isn't necessarily the one that will work with your forum system.

Also, I strongly suggest you find a different host. Generally when you see a host disabling tons of functions and installing extra "Secure" stuff, the host has no clue how to properly secure their server and is disabling anything that could possibly be used to cause a security problem. In this case, they've disabled many normally harmless functions (highlight_file, popen, proc_get_status, phpuname, getmyuid and several others) and have set ridiculous limits (max_execution_time is 10, meaning any script that takes longer than 10 seconds to execute will be killed automatically). Besides this, SecureSSI causes problems with SSI.php.

Strange things are going on

Everything works now, without changing anything^^

By the Way: Who would u guggest as a good (free) host?

[crazybabycakes]

i keep getting this error...

2: rmdir(/home/perfect/public_html/is/Packages/temp/Documents): Permission denied
File: /home/perfect/public_html/is/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 920

i just upgraded to 1.0.7...i dont know if that's relevant.

[Leo the Mountain Lion]

I've just upgraded to 1.0.7 successfully, and I decided to install a few mods. I got that "safe mode" error when I tried to apply a mod. I tried the "fix_ownership.php" tool, and it seemed to work, so I tried applying the mod again, but got the same error message. I know a lot about computers, but not about PHP, so I'm completely clueless here. I'd rather do this without going through my host, but if I absolutely have to, I'll do it. But.........what's PHP suExec (just the basic info), and how do I ask my host to activate it?

[DOK]

I had this problem also but resolved it using ws ftp and the everthing went fine, Just enter the path or url of the host server or your webftp and your password and it should work. Hope this helps, DOK

i get this error

Fatal error: packageinstall(): Failed opening required '/home/eponnox1/public_html/Packages/temp/./install.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/eponnox1/public_html/Sources/Packages.php on line 534

any help greatly appreciated

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

its funny how its ch-modded to 777

[JayBachatero]

Make a folder called temp inside the Packages dir and CHMOD it to 777.
How do I use chmod?

What can i do?

edit: The VisualWarning.temp is not on Themes/default
i think it does not move the files or?

[JayBachatero]

Did you try the fix [Unknown] provided?

[lordmat]

Did you try the fix [Unknown] provided?

Yes it only shows me the path /home/lordmat/public_html/board

and thats on all settings the same

[JayBachatero]

Seems like there is a file or folder that is not CHMODed correctly since it's giving the permission denied error.

[ChrisFBBS]

Hi all,
I seem to be having some sort of Package Manager issues now as well. I'm running 1.1RC2 with
TP 0.8.6 everything was fine until I tried to click on packages. All I get is an error 500 Internal Server Error. I have tried the fix posted here, as well as a few others that have been posted including ch-modding various files to 777 or 755.

[lordmat]

I´ve just reinstalled the board and nothing happens :/

I think the files does not copyed to any folders .. because they only in the temp directory?

[JayBachatero]

sheik28 take a look at Having problems with mod_security?

lordmat if you try installing another mod does it work?

Well after reading that thread I realized I may have a problem with a MOD i installed. Turn out that was it. I FTP'd and deleted a MOD in my package folder and now I'm fine. Thanks for the reminder!

[JayBachatero]

sheik it might be related to mod_security so I suggest that you take a look at that topic and try what it says.

Thanks Jay. I did.
I also had a MOD installed twice that were two different versions, one compatible one not. I deleted both of them and installed the proper one and all is well now. I will go over it again with the ideas in that thread.
Thanks

[lordmat]

Should i post my apache.conf because my error?
Or is that not important?

its very evil no mods 2 install.. is there anotherway to install the mods?
