Well around and around we go... Still no joy from GoDaddy..
I have multiple clients that are hosted by GoDaddy. Usually I can install TP on SMF without much of an issue. Well I guess my luck changed. I have one site that will not install TP. I kept having an issue when applying the mod where it would exceed the max_execution_time of 30 seconds (default). So I asked GoDaddy what I could do. They told me to modify my php.ini file and change the settings. Well that's all well and good when your on a Linux hosting package. However, I'm on a Windows hosting package and no php.ini file exists in my space on the server.
So I go searching and find an example php.ini file and use it as the basis to create my own. I set the following:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Resource Limits ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
max_execution_time = 120 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 120 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request data
memory_limit = 32M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (8MB)
So I apply the mod again. This time it checks the files and returns that all files are test successful. Frikin A, now were getting somewhere. So I tell SMF to Install the mod.. Exactly 30 seconds later... "500 Internal Server Error - There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."
So I check that all my permissions are correct in all directories.. repeat and get the same error.
So at least I'm getting past the apply mod stage but can't seem to bring it home.....
Suggestions?
Wouldn't have a clue what is holding up the server while it's executing the install. Maybe try creating the temp directory inside the packages directory before install. Chmod it to 777 and then run the install. If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you.
Surely your trying to install it on a 1.1 version of SMF & not 2.0 ?
yes, it's 1.1.11
I created the Packages/temp directory as you suggested and applied the mod. I watched the files get created in the Packaged/temp directory. Tried to install them... same 500 server error.. :tickedoff:
Note: I tried the manual install of TP and kept getting the "Hacking Attempt" error. So I gave up on that method also.
try un-zipping The TP_zip on your desktop and re-zipping it , then try the install again ..

What version of PHP are you on? Do they allow you to upgrade?
Crip, that is only necessary if the error states that the package is corrupted. :)
ok B0ss .. just suggesting stuff we have done .. ;)

PHP Version: PHP 5.x
IIS Version: IIS 7.0
Since it's a shared environment, probably would not let me upgrade.
Now I really got it mad.. Getting "500 internal server error" loading the forum.. :laugh:
Server issue. Let me google that for you! (http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=500+internal+server+error)

Being a 20+ year IT veteran. I backed up the site before I did any work on it.
Restored from backup. All is back up now.
I'm starting to dislike GoDaddy.... Their response to this issue..
"Unfortunately, we are very limited in the support we can offer for customer-written/third-party code or scripts such as this. If there is evidence that our system is responsible for the error, please forward it to us, and we would be happy to look into the matter further. But at the moment this does not yet appear to be the case, so we regret we can not currently assist you with this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."
Interestingly that none of my other clients are having this issue and installing TP with SMF was a snap. Only this server appears to be having an issue.
Not sure if its was mentioned..but after you installed it, when you got the 500 error: did you check that all files from TP were indeed uploaded, using ftp? Sometimes the mod goes through, but the files are not copied properly within the server - or even set to 0 in size.
It would be enough to simply upload fresh TP files then, the SMF files *should* have been modded, but you could also check that.

From what I can tell, some of the install process gets completed before the 500 error occurs. It seems to happen consistently at the 30 second mark. I stopwatch'd it twice to confirm. As with everything, some servers are faster than others. I don't think it's completing the job before some timer fires and stops the process. Being that this server is part of their grid hosting, I think that is causing latency. I checked on the other servers that are not giving me issues and they are what GoDaddy called "legacy" Windows hosting.
I'm thinking of manually installing TP on my server and just uploading it to the GoDaddy host. I'm running IIS6 with no PHP. So it would be tons of work just to clear this issue.
if you have smf / tp should install .. that makes no common sense imo..
