i have tried it ................the error log informs me that there is an error on line 33 ........i also phoned my hosts and they inform me all files and folders are writable .

so what do i do now go for a fresh smf and tp install or ?

www.simplemachines.org have the answers to your questions regarding their package manager and the functions for it.

[UkGangsta]

i no they do but the error if u notice is a tp error on line 33 of that file so i asked here first.

You may have a server issue. If you check your files at a later time are they still set to 777, or did they revert to the previous setting?
On my server/host that happens from time to time and I must then contact my host and have him reset the 'ownership' of the files to me.

[UkGangsta]

ive fixed this went through admin package manger asked for ftp info .......set all files to writable and hey presto working

AnSMF issue all together as i said 
Glad you got it sorted though  :up:
