Having trouble installing modules.....files not writeable...

An Error Has Occurred!
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

All files and folders have been set to chmod 777.

I can't figure this one out.

Hi,

Who are you hosted with?

[MOLTOX2]

Thanks for your quick response. IX hosting is my current service. I actually called them and they got the files and folders chmod to 777. So this problem is solved. On the other hand, one thing I recently noticed is the following.



Please tell me that this can be fixed without crashing my forum!  I installed several mods compatible with 1.1 RC2 but when I uninstalled them this is what I got!

Well I don't recognise "old_index.template.php"
Normally I would expect to see a back-up file called "index.template.php.bak"

Did you upgrade, then uninstall the mods? Or did you uninstall the mods and then upgrade?

I happen to choose the wrong installation file for one of the templates (older version). I uninstalled it and then installed the most recent. That fixed the problem.

Thanks for offering your help. Much appreciated.
