help upgrade problem

[TRUSTDEE]

Ok... i said i can't access my packages..... i get empty links  whenever i try to access it.... I mean my mods i can't see it.....

Every thing came back to normal yesterday.... but this morning  the package link stop working... that is i can't access my package list again.....i only get empty page..........What do i do?

things like this don't just "happen". They are caused...    So - what did you do prior to things coming back? And what did you do after that, just before things disappeared again?

At this point, I can only assume that your board is in a really bad state.
1- overwrite all forum files with clean copies of SMF 2.0.4 files - this includes your custom theme(s)... copy FRESH versions of those files as well.
2- truncate the smf_installed_packages table
3- make sure that file and directory permissions and ownerships are correct on your server.

4- confirm that everything is working, with a base installation, on the default theme.
5- confirm that everything is working, with a base installation, on the custom theme(s).
6- start installing mods. Retest after each one then backup befpore installing the next one.

can it be possible that my host denied me access to the package manager..........

[Kindred]

a blank white page usually indicates some sort of major PHP error, not a denied access.

Ok do you think repair_setting.php can solve my problem.... because i just upgraded yesterday... i don't won't to go back to it again....

[Kindred]

no. your problem is not fixable by repair_settings.

Follow the 6 steps that I posted

2- truncate the smf_installed_packages table

do you mean remove the smf_installed_packages table

[Kindred]

no, I mean TRUNCATE

this will remove the records of the mods which are installed (or not installed) and will enamble you to get a clean installation of mods going forward. (it will not affect mod DATA which may be stored in the table - that information will still be preserved for when you eventually reinstall the mod)

Okay faithful users...we're attempting to restore an older backup of the database...news will be posted once we're back!
