I've tried to install SimpleDesk 2.0 anatidae over SMF 2.0.1 but i see this message:
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!

I've just set chmod 777 for packages folder and also for all site folder (to test) but it's the same..

Some help ?

venguard223

you also need to set every file in sources and themes/default to be 777 as well since like most smf mods the installer has to modify your forum files

make sure you put them back afterwards

oh and if it still persists ask on the main smf site because its actually a problem with smf itself

I've set 777 for root site and all subdir, but it's the same ! does'nt install this Mod

venguard223

try creating a folder called temp inside the packages folder also as 777

but this is really an smf problem, happens to a lot of users regardless of mod

GOOD ! with temp folder the installer start and install without problem !
Thanks
