On every version of SMF i have ever installed, i can never install mods.

I had just installed SMF 2.0 RC5, i go through the installation process and use the default theme.

I go to admin > packages > upload. Install.

This error appears:

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.


every single mod i install this happens, its like no mods even work. whats going on?

I was trying to install Facebook Like mod at http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2543

Hello there.

That is error which says that there is some errors in installation, and in your case that is probably coused by too many mods installed.
Can you please give us list of your installed mos?
Can you also post where error is during installation, in which file (that is colored red during installation)?

Regards.

I have no mods installed.

What kind of host system is SMF installed on? Also, curious why you would install RC5 when SMF 2.0 Final is out? Almost every mod for RC5 I have seen will work in Final.

S.T.A.R.S

No mod had worked for me on SMF 2.0. So i decided to move to RC5, and none work on this either :/

From your screen shot your permissions are not correct. It may depend on your host but on mine all folders need to be 0755 and all files 0644.

S.T.A.R.S

just doesnt seem to work.

Looks like i gota go back to PHPBB :/

Well, it works for hundreds of thousands of web sites...but whatever. Good luck with phpBB.

Try this option m8

Make sure you put your forum in maintenance mode.

Right click on httpdocs -  change the permission to 777 and make sure the Recurse into subdirectories is ticked and the Apply to all files and directories is ticked and click ok.

This will set every single file to 777 then try to install a mod.

If this works install all the mods you want then soon as all your mods are installed just go through each folder setting the folders back to 755 then go inside each folder and set each file to 644.

Yes it will take some time but this is the only way round it for me so it might work for you also.

S.T.A.R.S

sorry im a noob at the moment with SMF, how do i change my forum to maintenance mode?

thx for ur help!

If you go to admin - configuration - server settings thats where you will see how to put your forum into maintenance mode.

Though before you can do this you need to set the Settings.php & Settings.bak.php permissions to 777.

Once you've done this then set all the files and folders to 777.

S.T.A.R.S

that doesnt work :/

seems like smf is ******ed itself seeming as for the past 3 weeks its happend. Installed on fresh servers and even moved to different companies and no change
