Now that's what I call a surprise! This would be my first upgrade, if I chose to do it... But I'd definitely lose all the mods that changed the files in question, right?

PS: When trying to add the yaBBpak server (upgrade from 1.5.4), I'm getting this error:

2: fopen(Packages/server.list) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied
(/www/htdocs/xxxxxx/forum/Sources/PackageGet.php ln 110)

I tried to install the new version from scratch, no upgrade or so. I got the Errormessage

Unable to find crucial installation files in this script's directory.

Please make sure you uploaded the entire package, and then try again.

I think the Problem is, that the Archives i downloaded (i tried it twice ) contains the file "yse151.ya" (yes, i really downloaded the newest Version, the archive is namened yabbse_1-5-5 )
Should i rename the ya File or ist it really the old 1.5.1 Version?

I'm getting a similar error:

(/home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum/Sources/Packages.php ln 222)

This error is caused by not having Packages and its contents chmod'd to 777.

I'll triple check.  I remember double checking before I made the release... but maybe I made a mistake.

You don't even seem to have a Packages directory at all! (forum/Packages, etc.)

Thanks, I was now able to download the YabbPak. It might make more sense for me to install the 1.5.5 from scratch instead of installing the upgrade, though.

We do...

/public_html/forum/Packages/

Could it be something else? Should we chmod the files to 777 before doing this? Could it be that?

[[Unknown]]

Possibly.  Do you have files inside it, like installed.list and server.list?

I have the following inside the directory:

index.php
server.list
yabbse_1-5-5_update_1-5-4.mod.yp

I have managed to upgrade through Boardmod, anyway.

Thanks.

Yey! I've managed to update.

It was a pretty scary few minutes, but it was actually pretty easy.

I'm just curious...  why the switch from $_COOKIE to $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS...  I thought $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS was going to become deprecated like $HTTP_POST_VARS, etc.

This change was made to be consistant throughout the YSE package.  It also allows YSE to work on older versions of PHP.

Running the package through admin seems to not work...I keep getting hung up on a permissions issue for index (can't copy) even though I've chmodded everything I can think of to full permissions.... any ideas?

And the mod file fails for me on about 15+ steps...would that be due to prior installed mods?

It tries to back up index.php to index.php~ which means /yabbse needs 777 as well.
