trying to install on yet another site! All installs went smoothly without error ( although one forum is not working ).
downloaded the latest stable zip version. set permissions and ran install. Got the following error.
| Quote: |
Archive did pass checksum test, CORRUPT ARCHIVE!
If you've encountered this error it means that you've:
downloaded a corrupt archive
uploaded the archive in ASCII and not BINARY mode
your FTP Server/Decompression software/Operating System added un-needed cartrige return (' ') characters to the archive, resulting in archive corruption.
|
using ws_ftp le. checked the log and it said ascii. switched to manual mode ( had previously added php to ascii extensions ). uploaded in ascii. Same error.
downloaded zip file again and uploaded using smartFTP using ASCII mode. Same error.
fudforum running on another site with the same host
Suggestions?

You have to upload the file in BINARY not ascii. Uploading the file in ASCII will result in archive corruption.

Read docs of your FTP program, most will tell you how to specify the upload mode ascii/binary.

Hey I got it! Thanks. I'm using Go Live's FTP browser and the default for php files is ascii. It took me a while (and a trip to Adobe's boards) to find how to change it. For reference, go to "web settings" and hit the "file mappings" tab. Click on the php file extension (in the text files) and change the mode in the "inspector" window.
Now...
Here's my latest error message (perhaps this should be a new post):
Warning: mkdir() failed (Permission denied) in /home/coastgui/public_html/forum/install.php on line 236
Warning: mkdir() failed (File exists) in /home/coastgui/public_html/forum/install.php on line 236
ERROR: failed creating /home/coastgui/public_html/forumdata/sql directory
Whass Up?

Hang on. I got that problem fixed too. I had set up a special forumdata folder without public permissions that was problematic.
