SMF 1.1.5 and TP 0.98

[Blunt]

Blunt if everything else fails then use the manual install. I have many mods and themes and understand it isn't fun but I have found no other way. 

Thanks for the tip, but I've already tried that, and it's not working - BTW, I'm not trying to upgrade TP (that's the current version) - I'm upgrading SMF. And apparently there's a fix in the upgrade that'll make the package manager work, finally, so I'm hoping if I can get this upgrade to work this may be the last time I have these troubles.

I usually find better help at these forums than at SMF - everybody here is so knowledgeable about both SMF and TP. Thanks again.

Upgrading your SMF version is not really our department but simplemachines.org
You have major problems upgrading because the packagemanager dont work, most likly because of permission issues or even that you have made a lot of changes in your SMF files that the parser cant find the strings it looks for. If it cant find the strings, it gives the errors you describe,

But to make this update, you must first start and see that the only way for you at this point is to set your forum to all defaults, ( smf default core theme, and english ISO (non utf8 language ).
Then replace all of your SMF files with a set of fresh new files from the big upgrade package that can be found on SMF.

When you have replaced all the files, you have a fresh forum, but all the other mods will be gone and will have to be readded to SMF files again.
That part hould not be to hard. If you installed them through the package manager they are still listed in your package manager and should only require you to apply them again. Start with TP as it's the biggest mod. Then go from there.

When you have everything working in the default theme, switch to your custom one. If that messes up, you know you have to clean the theme up to.

There are no easy way to do things sometimes, and this is probably it

Nope, because the admin section is no longer accessible:

An Error Has Occurred!
Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again.


And it will not let me log out.

Guess I'll mosey on over to SMF forums but I'm dreading it. Later people and thanks.
