I can't install any mods on SMF 2.0.2 let alone Tapatalk please help me...

[Shambles]

That's what I'm getting at. Author says he's been using unzipped copies, which kinda precludes the package manager upload feature...

[nathansuchy]

Please do not assume things,

First I tried HTTP (did not work)
Then I unziped and uploaded through FTP
Even Tried SFTP

[nathansuchy]

I have tried http and ftp (sending all of the unziped files) also my host says i have CHOWN

[Colin]

Keep the file compressed and upload it via FTP to the Packages directory.

[Shambles]

Please do not assume things,

Was that directed at me?



You said:

To shambles:
I am sending the un-zipped file. To the server

[nathansuchy]

Please don't assume things (not letting me make posts just restarted my computer and tether),

I am back I tried uploading zip file through http WAIT, did not work then tried unzipping it locally and uploading it did not work. My host says i have CHOWN over all files.

[Colin]

Do not upload it through HTTP. Upload the zipped, compressed archive via FTP.

[nathansuchy]

SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I was not seeing the posts because it made a new page. Now I see them I will upload the zip directly. and no i was not meaning to direct anything towards you.

[nathansuchy]

ok I uploaded the zip directly it did not work. What should I do now???

[Colin]

If you would like me to take a look. I would need temporary SMF admin and FTP credentials (Restricted to the forum directory). Once again http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=228940.0

[nathansuchy]

I am PMing them to you...

(before installing please make a backup)

[Colin]

You will need to backup the database if you wish to do that part of it. Unfortunately the SMF database dump is very buggy. I will happily backup the files though.

[nathansuchy]

Just connect and try and figure out how to install mods. backup files first I backed up the database so no damage can be done.

Please figure out how to install tapatalk for me.
Please backup files
thanks I await your results

[Colin]

Can you ask your host to verify they don't have mod_security enabled?

[Colin]

^ Disregard.


I am not sure what that package was that was in the Packages directory. I corrected the file permissions and uploaded the tapatalk package. You can now view that in your package manager and click install if you wish to proceed.

[nathansuchy]

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Much ,

You have been the most helpful person today. Will other packages work through http now?

[Colin]

Wahoo!

Indeed they should. Just ensure you are uploading the original file from the MOD site.

Topic marked as solved.

[nathansuchy]

One more problem (view the screen shot below and you will see),
The screenshot is an attachment

[Colin]

Can you ask your host to turn PHP Safe mode off.

[nathansuchy]

I can ask but don't know if they will...
