1.0 beta 4 corrupt package?

I'm running SMF 1.1.8 with TP 1.0 beta 3, and am trying to upgrade to TP 1.0 beta 4.

I've downloaded 'tinyportal10beta4.zip' 4 times now, and each time I upload it via the Package Manager, I get the error: "The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted."

I have 3 mods installed on SMF (Spoiler Show & Hide, CBI 1.0a and Users Online Today), but I don't think these would be relevant at this stage, and besides, they've never prevented me upgrading TP before.

So... any ideas/suggestions as to what the cause may be?

Off to bed now, but will check back tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the permissions on the file? I have downloaded it and it worked fine on several sites.

Worked fine on my site too....I just installed. No problems.

Paranoimia,

The package is fine.  Did you revert your Forum to the SMF default theme before trying to install it?

I have also installed the new version today on a clean install without any issues.

Just to jump off subject a little,

You should also be at smf 1.1.9 now since this fixes a serious security issue with smf 1.1.8 if you are unaware of this.

Okay, I'll try again after setting the forum to the default theme.

I tried upgrading to 1.1.9 last night, but all I got was an error about old/outdated language files. I'll try that again, as I suspect that may also be down to the theme.

My forum is a gaming clan site, and is set so that all registrations require admin approval. From what I've read about the attacks, they are initiated by an avatar upload... so my forum should be secure... am I correct?

You should be trying to upgrade using the default theme. All installs, upgrades should be done thru the default theme.

[Paranoimia]

All upgrades done now... even SMF.

Seemed to be caused by chmod permissions having been changed between my last update and this one. Not changes made by myself, I must add... I don't tinker with any file permissions unless absolutely necessary. Wondering if my host has restored some files at some point and affected permissions.

Still, sorted now... thanks for the input, everyone!

No problem, glad you got it sorted.
