i am also going to try do like this, to upload the xoop from here and then install it without using the Fantastico and see if this still gimme problems..
This is your best bet. Very early in the game, I found that Fantasico is not the best solution for installing Xoops. Mainly because I found out through trial and error, that some permissions are given to the root of the server, and not the site user. I was unable to upload certain files, because they were marked as not being allowed to be over written, despite me putting all the permissions to me.
The only solution was to delete any files that were being replaced for an XOOPS upgrade before uploading the files. As you can see, this is purely hellish from an administration standpoint because you have to check every single file you are replacing. At least this was the case for me)
In the end, I did exactly as you suggested, uploaded and ran the installation script myself, and have never run into a single problem again in terms of permissions with Fantasico. I can't say the same for file sizes, I just never gave it enough time to notice.
My current host uses Scripta for XOOPS install and various others. I still went the manual route never to trust any 3rd party script to install my files again.
Good luck and let us know how things turn out!
