What made you think I refused to reply? Your oldest topic I can see was a few hours ago. Please don’t forget that I’m a human too, I can’t continuously refresh the forum every minute of the day.

I have forwarded the issue to the server admins to they can check what happened.

Till now the softaculous is not still working for me… Is unpack to a new account preferable?

It turned out the Softaculous issue was caused by a password synchronization issue. I’ve synched your password and Softaculous seems to be working again for your account.

For other experiencing the same issue, simply find the account in your client area and then click EDIT next to the password field to synchronize the password and fix Softaculous.

I nearly lost all my files… By thank God infinitefree had design their site beyond what we can imagine. pls if you experience this same problem out there pls don’t try to rewrite the file above or delete them cause you will lose a lot of files if you already have files in your file manager… What I did is this ,

  1. I login to infinityfree client area
  2. I select an account
  3. I clicked on file manager
  4. select my site account name from the root dir of my account
  5. I renaimed the htdoc to htdoc_old
  6. I went back to softaculous installer. Then installed the new wp file now…
  7. go back to the file manager > now change the new htdoc file now to htdoc_new > change back the old htdoc_old to htdoc > click on save or edit
  8. now open the htdoc you just renamed > look for the file name “Index.php” now rename it to something like index.php_old then > copy the file index.php from the htdoc_new to the htdoc now… Visit your site now every content of your site will still be as it was and all your users and their rule will still be the same…

Thank admin for creating this portal and not me
