Title: NOT TP ISSUE, but need help with solvation
Post by: G6Cad on August 07, 2006, 04:20:31 PM

I have been trying to help one of our members here to upgrade his forum to 1.1rc2 from SMF 1.0.7.
The installer refuse to accept the 1.1rc2 package in the package manager, the permissions is correct set to 755.
I have tried with both the 1.1rc2 upgrade.zip, and 1.1rc2 upgrade tar.gz, but they both come out with Non valid package in the package manager.
Tried with other mods just to see if the manager were wrong, they work and install without any errors what so ever.

What can be the cause of this? I know this is a SMF issue, but when i get stuck, i want to know why Im stuck ;)
Can it be SQL or PhP issues, wrong versions or are their packages there corrupted just like the manager say they are ?
TP installed with out any errors what so ever, but upgrade packages to 1.1rc2 from SMF 1.0.7 dont

I don't think you can use the package manager to upgrade from 1.0.x to RC2.

When I upgraded Our-Local.co.uk I took the long route, but it worked. It may do for you. Uninstall all the mods, set everyone to default theme and save the database. Create a new 1.0.7 and import the saved d/b. Then run the upgrade.

I swear I remember reading at SMF that you're not supposed to upgrade (or be able to for the matter) via the package manager...

I couldnt do it for one of my sites either - manual FTP only.

If no mods are applied can work with package.

I guess you are right, I dont quite remember what i did for Robert there, i kind of installed 4 sites for him that time, and one upgrade.
Anyway, I went with manuall install, and i manage to get it up and running so everything is sorted now :)
