Newbee- Need help with manual installation PLEASE!

[edsistrunk]

I uploaded SMF 1.1.2 and the manual version of Tiny Portal because the package wouldn't load through SMF. I have tried this three times now. Erasing the domain and starting over each time. I really need someone's help! I have no problem loading the SMF site and getting it to run. Soon as I load TP I get a blank page. I followed the directions very carefully. Any help, advice would be greatly appreciated.

My site is http://hottopicsforum.com

I can also be reached at ed.sistrunk@sistrunk.net or via phone at 615-302-0938 hm, cell 615-400-2690

Thanks Ed Sistrunk

Did you follow the instructions here  http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=14230  Also after you uploaded everything did you point your browser to the manual install.php

[edsistrunk]

Tick, Thanks for the reply.

Yes I followed those directions very carefully. After the TP upload I went to my browser and type in
http://www.hottopicsforum.com/forum/manual_tp_098install.php and hit enter. Then I deleted the manual file and hit refresh. I got a blank white page. I also tried it with http://www.hottopicsforum.com/forum/manual_tp_0983install.php and that didn't work either.

the path that you entered in your browser.  Is that the path to your manual install file.  It seems like I remember having a problem with that one time and I was typing in the wrong path to the manual install .php

How do I find out what that path is.

I am using Plesk and the ftp files are located in /httpdocs

If I remember correctly my manual install.php was located in the same folder as my forum  so mine read like http://mysitehere/manual_install.php/

[tick]

excuse me it was http://my site here/manual_tp_install.php/

[edsistrunk]

I found it:

hottopicsforum.com / httpdocs / manual_tp_install.php

So do I need to put httpdocs infront of the this

If it is in that folder I would think so.  Try it and see.  And if you havent already be sure you have made backups.  Unless this is a brand new forum.

I tried this versions and none worked.

http://www.hottopicsforum.com/httpdocs/manual_tp_098install.php
http://www.hottopicsforum.com/httpdocs/manual_tp_0983install.php
http://www.hottopicsforum.com/httpdocs/manual_tp_install.php

The website say use this:
http://www.yoursitehere.com/forum/manual_tp_(the version number here)install.php
