An Error Has Occurred!
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

Do you have a temp folder in /Packages? If not, create one and CHMOD it to 0777 as well.

I had the same problem initially when I tried to install it and the fix offered by ccbtimewiz did the trick!!

Sounds weird, I've the same problem but with SMF 2.0 RC3
This is the solution.

Thanks you very much  :0


(sorry)
It worked.. I got: Installation was a success (something like that)
But, doesn't appear to change anything...
Lol, help (When try to uninstall, it says at every file FAIL, but I think it didn't change anything??)
Sorry, I think this is a problem cuz by SMF it self.... All errors (1463) | General (1463)

Things like:
Code: [Select]
2: fopen(/home/****/domains/****/public_html/Themes/default/css/portal.css) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/****/domains/****/public_html/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 2495

I've CHMODDED every file that needs to be CHMODDED...[/s]

Hey, I'm so happy XD It's working.. Changing the FTP settings, but it didn't changing the CHMOD...

Greetings Maarten
