fatal error: Sources/Packages.php on line 552

Tell your host to check the permissions for the php temp upload folder and to make sure that php has enough permissions and quota to be able to write that much. If you were able to install it previously, and you can't install it now... How can it not be a server issue?

[Smoky]

hate to say this, but it wasnt a server issue.

i have the proof up now. http://www.pixelbypaint.com/alpha

my subdomain's db will not accept the newer version of tp, but yet i can get another one on a fresh db up and going.. hmm.. anyone got any clues on that??


not to mention, but my subdomain is now down. not a klue what happened to it. give me a few and hope i will have it back up. 

ok its back up.. what i dont understand is the why it works for me on a fresh db, and not the one i use for tg.. i have the following mods installed:

i put the upgraded smf files on it, ran the repair settings file again, and then installed the new tp, but it wont let me on my subdomain, but obvious i got it going on the other part, so it isnt a server issue.. what issue is it now??  lol..

This is not working any longer Smoky.

The past week i have installed over 40 SMF and tp, i have done 10+ upgrades, and no single issue what so ever except the errors allready posten in the bugtracker.
This is done to several diffrent servers and hosts, subdomains, root directories and still no issues except the ones posted in the bugtracker.

If your host cant find the issue cause IT IS and i will not say it one more time cause WE cannot help you with the issues you have, our script works, we have tested it numerous times, and if your host tell you it's not the server, they dont know and should not run a hosting company.


Your posts about your issues starts to get really annoying and you dont even listen to what ichBin tell you and he have knowlage of both the scipt and server side.
Also Tick that run a hosting service dont have any issues with it eather, if they had, they would have been the first to tell us.

Stop this caause this is just irritating and annoying. We are not to blame for your hosts iggnorans and lack of knowlage to run their server.

Im sorry, but i will just lock this down.
And i DONT want a PM about it from you.

[IchBin]

Ok, lets continue this here. I will unlock this topic. For future reference, when an admin locks your topic you should NOT start another one. You should seek an answer from another admin or raise a complaint with another admin.

Who is your host?

To me this PROVES that its your host. If you are able to install it on the top level domain, and NOT on a subdomain there is some permission issue that is not allowing TP/SMF to make the necessary changes. I've seen this before with other issues like attachments and smilies. Take a look at this topic at SMF.

Please send me the login details for FTP and phpmyadmin access etc. Do me a favor first. Install a fresh SMF to the sub domain and NOTHING else. Do NOT use any exisiting database for the sub domain or any old files. Everything should be brand spanking new.

Smokey, you gotta trust Ichbin, he knows what he is talking about. If he doesn't, then he will say so.

Now, I want to voice my opinion, I also think it's a server issue.

When you try to install TP, you say it says installed, but have to checked to see if the files are there?

[Smoky]

one thing first here, little history about the database in question, it is a "split" im guessing as the database used to hold 2 forums. i tried to install (the tpv1 with it) on both the sub domain and the regular domain, with no go for the upgrade and this error for the topic. (( using the copied database. ))

however. using a new database, with new smf and new smf upgrade (just to be sure) and then the new tp, it works.. i tried the "new install "on the sub domain too, and that works, but i took it down as i am only allowed 5 databases.. i could ask for more but 5 is enough lol..

so if the new db install with tp works, http://www.pixelbypaint.com/alpha (i havent touched it other than to get it up) my question is, it must be the database that i copied that is causing the issue..

on this ICH:

do you still wish for me to do this? i can, no problems and send you a copy of the backup db in question.. maybe you can see something im not..  :buck2: wont take me but a few minuets, and sending you the info you have requested..  and thank you for helping me look into this.. i want to learn and keep learning on this.. im just now getting where i can understand the coding but databases still, i havent messed with them much.. i do understand tables and querries.. lol.. but nothing else, cuz i havent really looked into it.. i think i need to, one day


more i think on this, it is a bad database causing this issue. perhaps where i had at one time the 2 forums in it, and was unable to move them both. this is what is causing it to be upgradeable. i can do the install with a fresh db.. but i wont do a thing till ICH can look at this..

again sorry for bothering anyone on this issue that i brought on myself. had i just scrapped tg, i wouldnt be here asking why it is screwed up. i just wanted to save my site, due to i wasnt going to use the domain at all..

[IchBin]

Well I first let me just clarify something.
http://www.pixelbypaint.com/alpha <--- this is not a subdomain. This is a folder inside your top level domain. A subdomain would be http://forum.pixelpaint.com/

There is a big difference. You've gone so many directions in here and have probably used the wrong terminology such as subdomain, that I'm not sure where you are at, at this point. Let me review this and see if I will have some time tonight. Though, I doubt it because tonight is another all nighter for work upgrade. Will let you know when I am able to spend some time to work on it. But I will take a few minutes right now just to look at it.

[Smoky]

ICH. i want to thank you for even volunteering for this.

i was talking to bloc, and had i have remembered to put all the info on the database, and what i had going on, before i moved the database from one domain to another, (before, it had 2 smf/tp installs, different names, etc.,) but i wasnt clear.

i was just writing on what the errors were, and not the prior.. Bloc is looking at this now, and i dont want to get confused lol.. but i hope we can get this out into the forum, so if someone else gets a "hair-brained" idea like me, they will know how to fix it..

i did have a new install of the smf/tpv1 on the sub domain, and it was working.. this database has had 2 forums in it.. perhaps this is the case or not, but i know Bloc will post about what he finds.

if you wish to look with him, that is fine with me.. just post here so that i dont get all lost.. lol.. i have had enough on the lost bit, and didnt mean to confuse anyone.. i should have stated before on the dual install and i didnt.. i do apologize on it, but i was more worried on the errors, and forgot about the dual until last night early this am..
