well i had asked this question in the CMS forum, but no one replied. so here goes..
im using simplemachines forum, and the problem is that i cannot use package manager. it needs fopen and fclose functions, which i know are not allowed here 
anyway, without the package manager, i cannot install any mods or additional components.. and manual installation is too damn complicated and will mostly never function properly
so is there any other way to use the package manager successfully?? i would really appreciate anyone helping!! 
thanks a lot Fopen and Fclose aren't allowed? News to me. I'll have to rewrite my site at this rate... I thought they were, and I've never seen anything that said they weren't.
i think fopen and fclose were disallowed after the server 2 crashed.. im not sure though. but the error logs also suggest the same.
WHy dont u ask bondings directly, maybe he could offer you a better alternative. Well, if u have patience that he might roll over ur thread, then its ur luck,
Warm Regards,
Which error do you get. And normally fopen/fclose should still be working, just not outside your own directories.
hey, thanks bondings for responding..
regarding the error, this is what i get in the forum error log

this happens with all the mods that i tried. ive checked the file permissions, paths, even uploaded evey single file in the package manually. but still the problem exists. i guess there is some problem with regard to permission as the errors suggest, so it would really be nice if you can help me out.. bump..... guys any help is appreciated... even if you suggest any other way to install mods.. PLEASE HELP!! im getting freaked out cause im not able to install anything | Quote: |

I'm a bit confused when I see this. I'm not completely sure, but it seems like it's trying to open the "/Themes/default/Display.template.php" file. This file isn't in your own directory (no permission) and doesn't even exist on the server. You should rather try to open it relative to your files, it is without the first "/" or with the complete path: "/home/username/domains/domain/public_html/.../Themes/default/Display.template.php".First off, make sure the file is there .
I recommend starting with
fopen("./whatever/whatever/whatever.php");
The "./" is important sometimes 
. hey sorry guys, in a hurry i got only a part of the error message 
.. the complete message is like this :

i guess the complete path is there now.. or should it be something different? I tested the fopen function and it seems to work. I really have no idea why it doesn't on your website, to be honest.
hmm ok.. anyway, thanks for the trouble bondings!! really appreciate it
ive posted this in the SMF forums, so hopefully ill get a reply
