Big problem after wrong upgrade to TP-skin!

[FataMorgana]

Last night I decided to upgrade my forum from 1.0.7 to 1.1RC3.
So far so good, no problems with that.
But then I made a big stupid mistake.
I always used Helios_Multi and wanted to make now TP_Helios_multi.
But after the succesful upgrade of SMF I forgot FIRST to install TP and after that the skin.
I installed the TP_Helios_Multi skin directly...
So now I think my database is corrupt...

I tried to copy again the SMF-files and upgrade again bu failed.
For a moment I tried to reach the forum with:
http://www.fatamorganaforum.nl/forum/index.php?theme=2
and succeeded to see the forum again (default skin) but after that I logged out and cannot reach it again...
(I must say the short time I was logged in I removed the skin TP_Helios in the admin section. Then I logged out...)

Do I need to install everything all over again including database?
I have a backup from the data, not from the structure.
Or does anyone know a trick to activate the basic forum?

Thx!

Your database is fine so you can relax about that part.

What you can do now is to manually through FTP upload all the files from the manuall install package from the download section.

Then download the premade manuall install files from the sticky post in the installation board, extract the zip, and upload them to and overwrite your old ones.
Then point your browser to the manual_tp_install.php and refresh your forum, that should bring it back.
Then remove the other themes exept the SMF default ones from the theme folder and then install the TP helios for 1.1rc3 and TP

The SMF 1.1RC3 install file (so not the update)?

Then download the premade manuall install files from the sticky post in the installation board, extract the zip, and upload them to and overwrite your old ones.

What do you mean with this? 'premade' install files?
Tiny Portal?

The rest I think I understand...
Thx for quick response!

manual install and TP files only can be both found here http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=cat5

When you do a manuall install of TP, there are some of the SMF files that needs to be changed with adding code in to them.
It can be tricky to do, and especially if you havent done it before.
The files i talked about have all the code added, so they are done and just have to be uploaded and replace the old files you have there already.


The files you find here http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=8247.0, they are attached in the post, so just download the zip, extract the files, and upload them to your forum AFTER you have uploaded all the files from the manuall install package that akulion gave you the link to. Then point your browser to the manual_tp_install.php in order to update your with the tables needed for TP to work.

Ok ok, I understand you're talking about TP, manual...
Naturally because this is a TP-forum.
But I'm not so far yet, my first step has gone wrong again:
restore SMF in it's original state...

I thought I had to transfer manual the SMF-files from the original install-zip-file so I did. Now I get again new mistakes using the install:

No problem for me install from scratch again but it seems even this is impossible?

What to do now?
Maybe just remove/delete all SMF-files, copy them again and try to install again?
Please this is the first I need to know, after that I will try again TP!

For SMF issues you have to ask on simplemachines. When you have passed the install of SMF and the forum is working you can come here for the portal support if you get in troubble

Seems you didn't get all your files replaced if its still looking for TP code.

Yes this stays problem, also after a reinstall of SMF!
Maybe again copy all files or should I just delete them?

@Mrs G6:
Here I expect BOTH knowledge of TP and SMF!
I want install TP + TPskin and this went wrong!
This answer is somehow little smallminded...

[G6Cad]

Im sorry if you feel that way, but this IS actually TinyPortal, and we provide TinyPortal Support.
Simplemachines is the base of TinyPortal yes, but that doesent mean we provide the support for SMF related issues. As i said, when you have sorted the SMF issues out and have the forum working with out errors, Im happy to give all the support i can to help you get TP to work in your forum.
So please, keep the diffrent support issues a part, SMF is SMF, and TP is TP.
