You can always try After that, make sure the temp folder is empty, before you try to install anything.

This is too crazy, I deleted SP and every other mod. When I clicked on "Installed Packages", I get No mods currently installed. When I click on "Browse Packages" I get No mods currently installed. Yet Simple Portal is alive and well on the forum. I guess I'll have to try the large upgrade.

It really sounds like there is something fishy going on, do try the large upgrade route and tell us if it makes any difference.

I did the large upgrade which deleted my linked logos etc. >: ( I successfully installed two mods (not Simple Portal) but neither one works. I wish I could just change to MyBB but they haven't had a usable converter for SMF to MyBB forever which is why I'm upgrading all my forums to SMF 2.0 RC2. But I guess that's not a good idea either.-

I'm really baffled - since I've been running 2.0 for a long time, with no such problems.... Do these mod installations that fail leave anything in your error logs - forum or server?

Yes, A whole bunch of these in my forum error log, actually close to 100 errors, all similar but referring to different files such as index.template.php.

The big deal is that every one of them mentions this: File: /home/catfishe/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php but with different line numbers.

EDIT 08:58:17 PM Pacific Time. I deleted the temp file in packages and all its contents, then I ran the upgrade again without actually re-uploading the files. I then tried to install the Users Online Today mod and got the same bunch of errors. I then created a new temp file: packages/temp and was able to successfully install the Users Online Today mod. I then installed the Simple Portal mod with no problem. I figured that was good enough for now. This is not a very active forum anyway. I'll try and install more mods tomorrow and if I'm able to do so with no problems and no errors in the logs, I'll consider it "problem solved" although I have no ideas as to what I did to fix it.

Atleast you are making progress, which is good. Do keep us updated on this though..

I installed another package and it worked fine except I got two pages of errors in my forum error log. They were all the same except for line numbers and were similar to the ones I posted yesterday. I then installed another mod which worked fine and got no errors. Anyway, I'm not going to worry about it for now. These forums I'm playing with don't get much activity.

I have two more forums, one very active and one fairly active. Both are SMF version 1.1.11 so I want to be ready and somewhat experienced before I upgrade them.

LexArma, Thank you so much for all your responses, I really appreciate your efforts.
