Installation errors

[luisr]

I am trying to install version 1.5.2 in my site but get a ton of error messages like the one below in the second step of the installation, where all files are extracted from the .ya file:

Warning: fopen(/home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/Packages/index.php) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/install.php on line 219

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/install.php on line 222

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/install.php on line 223

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/install.php on line 225

Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/Packages/index.php because No such file or directory in /home/[snip]/public_html/yabbse/install.php on line 226

Many files ARE created but probably more than half get this error, including that all important index.php.

I know my host is capable of running YaBB SE because I have a live 1.3.1 board in the same site.

This is not the upgrade package.  This is a new installation which is meant to replace the existing board once some custom tweaking is done.

What causes these errors?  I was able to install version 1.5.0 without a hitch in the very same server but did not do anything with it when 1.5.0 was put on hold to wait what would happen next.

not sure whats causing it but maybe try the safe mode version

I found the problem.  The .ya file was originally uploaded in ASCII mode.  I tried again in binary mode and it worked.

Ok, now the forum works but I am getting this at the bottom of every page:

file|^|ubbc.js|^|2025|^|1043029148 function DoConfirm(message, url) { if(confirm(message)) location.href = url; } function WhichClicked(ww) { window.document.postmodify.waction.value = ww; } function submitonce(theform) { // if IE 4+ or NS 6

What is it?

[Douglas]

Re-upload ubbc.js in ASCII format.

[luisr]

How would I do that?   I don't have the ubbc.js file locally.  The one up there (in the web server) was generated by the installation program.

Download the safemode install, the files are already extracted there, so use the one that's included in the ZIP.  

[luisr]

Didn't work.  

See it on www.juanadiaz.org/yabbse/

Luisr, if you'd like for me to install the forums for you, PM me the FTP server, username and password.  I think the template file may be corrupted for some reason.  Don't remove your current installation, as I will be able to obtain the rest of the information necessary.

FYI, if you're worried about trusting me, don't.  I AM a Support Team Member and have helped a few other people here.  

Again, if you want help, PM me the information, don't post it publicly, for your safety.

[luisr]

Thanks but I prefer to fix it myself.  This is about the fourth time I install a YaBB SE board and this is the first time I see this problem.  If you think the template file is corrupted than I will try to replace it then.

[Edited]

Well, you were right.  I replaced the template.php file from the safe mode package I downloaded and it works fine now.

Thanks.

w00t!  Glad to help!
