Upgrading to 1.5.4 major error

[Black Hawk]

YaBB SE Version: 1.5.1 Final
PHP Version:
MySQL Version:
Server Platform: Unix, Linux, or BSD
Link to Forum: http://www.itorrent.com/ian/games/index.php

Problem Description:
Well, I really did screw up my forum, unforunately. As you can see, I didn't fill in PHP version, MySQL version or server platform, because I have no clue, what they are, I don't really administer my whole, site somebody I know does. Anyhow, I went from 1.5.1 to 1.5.4, right? The HUMUNGOUS problem was, well, I didn't know about mods or anything for YaBB SE at the time, and I just used the bare minimum. Anyhow, those upgrade files I got, I just replaced the files, without doing a thing, because I thought i knew what I was doing. Anyhow, to make a long story short, I think I replaced the packageget.php, attachments.php and another file (I forgot which) and now it's all giving me problems. Now I have all of these errors, except it's manageable. The only problem is deleting posts, deleting boards, and using the YaBBPak's. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I think I know what the problem is, (the site url's) but I don't know how to change it, because I am no modder. All I did was install 1 mod which took me a looonnnggg time, with help from Ayeka. Please help!

Please describe the specific problems you are having.

I am sorry you are having these problems and really want to help, but without specifics... all I can say is "that sucks, pal."

I dunno, hold on lemme get an error or two...

2: fopen(http://www.mattsiegman.com/YaBBSE/Packages/) [<a href='http://www.php.net/function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to create stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
<br />(/home/itorrent/public_html/ian/games/Sources/PackageGet.php ln 231)

Eck, that's a packageget.php, does that give any clue?

[Black Hawk]

Here's another when I try to install a YaBBPak:

2: fopen(./Packages/modification.mod) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied
(/home/itorrent/public_html/ian/games/Sources/Packer.php ln 119)

In line 19 in packer.php, this is what it says:

                  $fp = fopen($filename, "wb");

Eek.

Matt Siegman's server isn't up any more.

Packages needs to be 777 to use the package manager.

[Black Hawk]

I know matt's isn't up anymore, jsut givin' an example. Anyhow it still happens, although I have all of the YaBBPaks 777 CHMOD, there's this error:

2: fopen(./Packages/modification.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied
(/home/itorrent/public_html/ian/games/Sources/Packer.php ln 119)

Eck.

Again, the Packages directory must be chmod'd 777.

-[Unknown]

[Black Hawk]

Ohh, the dir? Okay, lemme try...

[Black Hawk]

Uh-oh, for some reason now I can't change the CHMOD of the whole folder.... is it okay if I change the CHMOD of all of the contents?

[Shadow's Pawn]

That won't work, because you still won't be able to write to the directory or do anything else that 777 allows.

[Black Hawk]

So are you saying that even if you change the CHMOD to 777 it still won't work? Well, I got it working now, and I actually got somewhere, but not where I exactly wanted to be....
