Title: portal problem
Post by: bbb on February 23, 2005, 07:35:46 PM
I have trouble installing the tiny portal.  I installed mercury.zip and it worked fine.  When I replaced that with mercury_tp.zip, it didn't work.  It says "500 Internal Server Error."  I noticed that mercury_tp.zip doesn't have Themes.template.php.

Can anyone help?  I don't know what I'm doing..... ???

Did you install the mod through the package manager?

I installed MSF thru my hosting server.  It's version 1.0.2.  Then I uploaded mercury_tp files into themes folder.  Finally I selected mercury_tp layout from the admin panel of MSF.

Is that how I should do it?  What's the package manager?

You have just installed a theme with supports TinyPortal, but not the mod itself. :)

The package manager is where you install mods - automatically. Look in the admin section of your forum.

if the portal is workin fine, the just install the mercury_tp theme as  a normal theme. then when choosing it, it will show the portal correctly.

I installed  themis_tp through theme manager - it told me it was installed correctly. I then change the forum to the themis_tp and now get internal 500 error and cannot access the forum?

How to install a real portal? On the first site? With comments and latest news and so on?
Is is a code, or do I need a hole HMTL site to do one portal?

You need the SMF forum installed. Then you apply it as a MOD to that.
