Some addons can not be installed
Hi,
recently I've imported my SMF forum to ElkArte.
I'd installed the 1.0.10, did the import, upgraded with the install.zip to 1.1.1 , and updated then with the patches to 1.1.2 and 1.1.3.
Now I have problems to install some addons. With those:
- Fancy Box
- Simple Audio Video Embedder
- HTML5 Video Audio Embedder
- Rename Topic
The installations of some old, which are just for 1.0.x, worked well (with the note: Emulation of a 1.0.x version) , but the addons which were updated for 1.1.x can not be installed. These error messages then appear:
You cannot download or install new packages because the "packages" directory or one of the files in it are not writable!
or:
Error in package installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package.
It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently.
This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you have not installed yet, or a package designed for another version of the software.
The package directory is writable on 777 and I also tried it with the creation of a temp folder in it.
Where can the error be?

In the first half, the descriptions of the individual points can be seen on the right, as they are displayed before the installation attempt. But you can also see under "Action" what they are for. So I could have left out the upper part actually...

The "before" shows a part of the installation process of the Fancy Box. Similar is it with the Simple Audio Video Embedder.
After uploading the ZIP and clicking on "install", the "before" is shown at first. After filling in the data for FileZilla and clicking again on install, the page "after" is there.
Can with the import of the data from the SMF forum something have been imported with it, that prevents the installation of the addons now?

I'm not sure if the first test is an "all green" or if it only lists which actions are executed during the following installation.

hmm... could it be the root of the forum is not owned by the ftp user?

It does. The root of the forum is owned by the ftp user.
