Topic: Installing mod error

[revail]

Ahhh thank you man!!a lot!!!!!
it works now all files are writable and all mods works...
(the old folder sources that renamed i can delete it?)

the temp folder that chmod it to 777 will be deleted every day?and i must make it again?

[revail]

man i go to install new mod again..

i installed it succesfully but is not working again while all files are writable...

maybe want again to re-upload the "sources" folder?

SMF will not delete the folder, but your host might be deleting it because it's a security hazard (world writable). You never make a directory 777 until you have tried 755 and then 775 without success.

ok my friend...

Do you know why mods are not working while they have been installed succesfully without any error??

[Kays]

You're best to contact your friend about the problem with the mods. If they work fine for most people and on your local sever. Then it's probably a server related problem and there's not much we can do about that.

ok my friend

thank you for the help
Question:but why the simplecolorizer mod works?cause is with hook?

[Kays]

Probably. When hooks are used there's can be no file edits. At least in the case of this one there aren't any.

Hi, welcome to SMF.

In the Packages folder, create a new folder named temp and chmod it to 777. That should fix that.

I hope.

I did this for the recent 2.0.3 security patch and it fixed my "You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!" error.  I was able to successfully install the patch after following Kays' instructions of creating the 'temp' folder, and CHMOD to 777.

Hope this helps others.
