Not sure why can't I upload this patch. I was always using upload as a package option, but now out of a sudden it gives me this error message:

QuoteCould not upload package, please check directory permissions!
I haven't changed anything, haven't moved host - any ideas what could possibly cause this?

I am also not able to update it automatically due of

QuoteForbidden

You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache mod_fcgid/2.3.6 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 Server at www.mydomainname.com Port 80
I guess this message I am getting due of the fact that my server doesn't support apache mod which has to be enabled in order to use automatic forum update?

Is there a way around this? I am hosting my forum on one of the hostgator accounts.

hello,how download RC4 forum?

If you need it to fix something you can get it from the downloads page by clicking on the archive link in the left menu. As was mentioned though, highly recommended that you upgrade as soon as possible.

I'm not gonna complain about you not releasing 2.0 Final. Has not even crossed my mind. I think everybody should realize that you do whatever you can, to get 2.0 Final out. People need to remember the fact that developing SMF actually is not your full time job - though it seems like you put a lot of time in this project. By now we should indeed have confidence that 2.0 is in good hands. Take your time. No rush.

So I'm gonna stay positive and just thank you for your hard work - looking forward to 2.0 Final :)

One of the better comments in this topic.

Thanks to all involved for the update.

Which version of SMF, since there's a board for 1.x Support and a board for 2.x Support...?

All you have to do is look on the board index under the category called "Support".

Hi, I've just join the forum.
We use SMF at work, and I've recently upgraded to smf 1.1.13.
I'm wondering if I need to install smf 2.0 RC4 or RC5.
What is the difference between smf 1.1.x and smf 2.0?
Is smf 2.0 another package or it's extended to smf 1.1?

Appreciate you help!

SMF 2.0 is a whole new version of SMF. It have more features than SMF 1.1.x.

sjambi

Thanks, for immediate response.
So, my question now is ..
How can I upgrade from smf 1.1.x to smf 2.0 RC5 while keeping my old mysql database?
Thanks!
Sahar
