Mods Will Not Install

I'm thinking a merge is in order? Seems these topics are related and all.

Try replacing /Sources/Subs-Package.php with a clean copy (attached).

Nope, no luck. Still does the same thing.

Sounds good to me.

Curious about the error. Wondering if you could connect to FTP, go to /Packages/
What is the file size of SMFPacks_Shoutbox_104.zip (assuming it's in there)?

54,434 . .

Is there a default SMF limit for mods?  I mean, am i only allowed to upload so many kb of mods?

2816 starts a loop -

Code Select Expand



while (!feof($fp))
$fwrite($output, fread($fp, 16384));
fclose($fp);



If the loop gets hung, it can generate a lot of errors very quickly.

Maybe something wrong with the package zip?

I've deleted the theme and reinstalled it, and i've deleted the mod and TRIED to reinstall it. . .

Nah. Not really a limit there. I was just wondering about the Boolean part. Thought it could have been an empty file which is isn't.

Not a theme problem.  Try it in default Curve, you'll probably have the same glitch.  Delete the mod zip file, download a clean copy, and try installing it. 

It appears that feof is not finding end of file, so it gets stuck in an infinite loop until it times out.  The zip file may be corrupt.

Whatever "feof" is, it's not finding any of the mods. Downloading a clean copy doesn't work either.

So if you try to install or uninstall any mod, the package manager hangs and times out, and you get thousands of errors in the log?

Yep. That's exactly 100% correct. . . . If i could reset my entire website, without losing my database, i probably would consider that.

You can delete the entire forum and reinstall from scratch without affecting the database, but it's a good idea to backup the db with phpmyadmin before you do anything.  Save a copy of Settings.php (in your forum root) - it contains the db settings.  You'll have to reinstall mods and themes, and redo any custom edits you've done.

I really don't use the Package Manager much. I think i have all the mods that i really want, except for the shoutbox. I would like to have that. It's not a big deal. I'm wondering if i wait a day or so, maybe the problem will fix itself, since it seemed to come up by itself.

Now i'm getting the following errors:

Try replacing /Sources/Packages.php and PackageGet.php.

no luck on that one either.  This is getting extremely irritating. I worked extremely hard on this forum to get it where it is. Now, there's a bug of some sort that i can't seem to fix.

Of the mods you have installed, it's apparent they haven't affected any of the files you've replaced so far. Your package manager is trying to use the /tmp directory within /Packages. Does such a directory exist, and if so, what is it chmodded to?

Yes, there is a "temp" directory, and it's 0755
