Trouble upgrading SMF 1.1.3 to 1.1.4

When I try to upgrade it by giving it FTP details I get this error msg. " 530 Login authentication failed ". User name and password is correct. Any ideas ?



.

 

it seems your upgrading your forum using a package from SMF and your doing it like a mod, which is ok.

are you sure your giving the correct ftp info?

 

yes FTP info are correct.

 

ok, change the permission on the Packages folder to 777
inside that folder is a file called installed.list
chmod that 777 and try again, let me know how it works out for you.

 

check if your Loging and pass infos are corect in your admin panel

 

Your ftp username / password is incorrect. Try re-entering it carefully

 

i'm guessing neither one of you saw the OP's last post:

 

you have given the correct host etc

 

I tried it and still giving the same error

FTP Server:localhost

 

I did. He's wrong or has a server issue. It's not going to tell you your login information is incorrect if it was?

So either he has entered it wrong or has previously changed, hes entering the wrong hostname etc or software issue.

 

this is my profile at SMF.
if you want me to have a look, i will.
just PM me and we'll get this sorted out.

 

PM'ed u , see what you can do

 

Please let us know what the error(s) were if you fix it

 

well it seems you all were correct and i was wrong.

using the supplied forum admin info and ftp info,
i upgraded his forum, clickety click.

what i neglected to tell him was his database may need upgrading.
i suggest you access your database and click on smf_settings, then Browse them and the first entry will be version number. be sure its current at 1.1.4

in fact, download an upgrade package from SMF and upgrade your forum, your template files are still at 1.1.2

 

I just don't get how it happened I mean i had tried more than 20 times using all that info i sent you. But anyway Im glad its done.

I have another question now i have my previous smf db backup which i took from cpanel. which is the best way to restore it ?

.

 

access your db through phpmyadmin, drop all the tables in the database and import your new database.

 

Thanks. Something I noticed is some button icons are not working only links are displayed.

Im glad you managed to fix it
