trying to apply the 2 RC1-1 patch...getting error

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Hi, as the title says, im trying to apply the patch, the simple way via the packages manager.

I get this error

Although the package was downloaded to the server it appears to be empty. Please check the Packages directory, and the "temp" sub-directory are both writable. If you continue to experience this problem you should try extracting the package on your PC and uploading the extracted files into a subdirectory in your Packages directory and try again. For example, if the package was called shout.tar.gz you should:
1) Download the package to your local PC and extract it into files.
2) Using an FTP client create a new directory in your "Packages" folder, in this example you may call it "shout".
3) Upload all the files from the extracted package to this directory.
4) Go back to the package manager browse page and the package will be automatically found by SMF.          

is there anyway I can apply this patch, or fix this issue.

I would like to apply the patch as apposed to installing the forum again, I have mods installed and would like to not have to install them again if possible

Thanks in Advanced.

Thanks, ran into another problem trying to install it.

/Index.PHP

Code Select Expand


// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions.
elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && !(!empty($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'dlattach' && !empty($_REQUEST['type']) && $_REQUEST['type'] == 'avatar') && !(empty($_REQUEST['action']) && empty($board) && empty($topic) && $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 1) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', '.xml', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',))))


thats what I have where im supposed to have:

Code Select Expand


// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions. elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', '.xml', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',)))) 

and change for:

Code Select Expand


// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions. elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',)))) 

if someone could please help me with this, it would be great

Try that

Code (find) Select Expand


// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions. elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', '.xml', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',))))


Code (replace with) Select Expand


// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions.
elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn',))))
