Problem with Package Manager

[varmandra]

Hello

Yesterday I install the SMF 2.1 on my server, then i copy some Mods to the Packages directory. Check if the installation will work, saw some errors and decided to do it later with some more time.

So today I want to start and no packages are shown in the Packages Manager anymore(see picture), on ftp there are still in the directory(see picture).

Ok, no problem just upload it in the Packages Manager, but i only get this answer:

Package upload failed due to the following error:
"The package you are trying to install cannot be located. You may want to manually upload the package to your Packages directory."

I checked the permissions(see picture), I checked my php.ini if there are somethings wrong, checked the permissions for the TMP directory.

The only thing I changed is in the SSI.php line 30 and 196 http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=467359.0 (yesterday before try to install a package the first time)

In the error log are two errors i don´t know why. With SMF 2.09 everything works fine (same server, directory and permissions)

I use a debian Server with lighttpd with PHP 5.5.13 and proftpd. If more information needed let my know.

Do you have a "temp" folder inside "Packages"? Does it also have 777 permissions?

Did you get the package from Github or the one from our downloads page?
(you didn't actually need to edit SSI.php, the current code is OK regarding "magic_quotes_runtime")

[varmandra]

I had no temp directory in the packages directory, i created one and gave the permission 777, but still the same problem.

The temp directory which is used is the sys_temp_dir from the php.ini

Yesterday I installed the one from the download page, and it works, so something happened in the night. (the only cron which is running in the night is an backup script)



I use the SSI.php on an other site and if i don´t change "magic_quotes_runtime" i get:

Unbekannter Fehlertyp: Function set_magic_quotes_runtime() is deprecated in der Datei /xxx/xxx/xxx/fmf_xxx/SSI.php Zeile 30

As per the sticky in this topic, you should always use the build from GH
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=535446.0

As for SSI, you are correct, I'm sorry. The function does exist (yet) so it is logged as deprecated by PHP.

i did a reinstall with the download version and in the moment everything works fine, but I am not sure if it will be the same tomorrow. I start logging everything on the server, maybe i will find something inside the logs, what does change to the forum.

the version on our download site is months out of date and known to be seriously buggy...   you should be using the version from GitHub

[varmandra]

Just copy them or do i need to reinstall it?

[Illori]

you can do an upgrade, copy the files out of the "other" folder and run upgrade.php.

[margarett]

yes, you need to do the upgrade. There were database changes

  Just want to pass on something...I had a few zip files in the package directory, and was getting this error.  The amount of memory was fine, it took removing the zip files to get everything working properly.

[margarett]

Can you list us the zips you had in the folder? I'd like to try that myself

[kconan]

It is the zips, for the SEOMod, ShoutBox Pro, and SMF Gallery.

ARGGH!  This image verify on here is driving me nuts...
