Hey all, ive decided to downgrade from 2.0.2 to 1.1.6 because of lack of support mods i would like to use.

The installer asks me to put my ftp details in, so i did and i keep getting:



All details entered were strictly from the email ive recieved from my hosting community.

Can someone please help me? Gotta community waiting for me...

Looking

Maybe you can contact your host if you are 100% positive everything is correct. At a glance I'm suspicious of the username but it could be right and the password is wrong, etc.

McGregorWS

Could you elaborate on the suspicion of the username? Is there a certain thing that i should put in rather than the username i use for my control panel?

Looking

Usually FTP usernames do not have ".info" or other domain extensions and tend to be much shorter, but this all depends on your host. You should contact them.

Do you have a backup of your forum before you upgraded?  If you don't I'm afraid you are stuck on 2.0.2.

Does it work if you change the path to /public_html?

Also, why are you trying to install 1.1.16 instead of 2.0.2?

As Jim said, using a 1.1.16 installation with a v2.x database just ain't gonna work.
