Can not install tp...

[yosemite]

Forum version: SMF 1.0.7

1st off when i follow the install directions and go to
"Go to Package Manager > Installation Options > Cleanup Permissions > Select  All are files writable and click on "Go""

i do not have the option "Cleanup Permissions > Select" ,it is not there

so i upload the package and click on install and get this,

"Install Actions for archive Tinyportal0_86.zip:
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."

any clues?

Read this post last page.

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3860.90

And download that TP install package, and you should be ok

[yosemite]

thank you for the quick reply. i found that after i posted and now i get this far,

2: mkdir(public_html/tmsmf/Packages/temp/Themes/babylon/): No such file or directory
File: /public_html/tmsmf/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 413

i was reading the thread about this and deleted the files in the temp but still only get this far.

You have to go with the manual install package for Tinyportal.
It sounds bad, but it is really not that bad or hard if you follow the description.

Here are the manual install files.
Here are the database files.
And the textfile on the step by step manual on how to install here

Read the textfile before you start installing the files and make the changes to the files, The text show all versions so make sure you follow the one for your version of SMF.

Good luck

[yosemite]

thanks i will give it a try

[yosemite]

are there directions for the manual install?
i see you edit the index.php and others and then do i download the files such as all the ones included in tp/Sources to the smf/Sources ?

and then run the database update?

[G6Cad]

I uploaded the files from the package first, then i added in thecodestrings from the textfiles as described.
Then i did the database install. 

[yosemite]

again thank you for all the help and 1 more question.

does it seem that folks are having problems installing sine smf went to 1.0.7?

should i try it on the 1.0.6?

thanks

[G6Cad]

You can go that way, but they havent got the 1.0.6 at SMF forums anymore,

Then again, i did the install from that link i gave you, and it workt from the manual install.

[yosemite]

thanks, i have the 1.0.6 and i am in the process of installing 1.1 rc2 to see if that will let tp install. i will post the results

[yosemite]

well i installed 1.0.6 and i still got the same error 
"2: mkdir(/home/?/public_html/tmsmf/Packages/temp/Themes/babylon/): No such file or directory"

and it took me awhile to figure out how to restore the data base from my original board to this new one using myphp. i could not get it to work until i saw a thread about changing the database setting in Settings.php so i changed it to the the same prefix as the old table and it worked.

after all that tp would still not install so i put on 1.1 rc2 and tp went in with no problem!!!!!

also this from the install directions
"Go to Package Manager > Installation Options > Cleanup Permissions > Select  All are files writable and click on "Go""
is only found in 1.1 rc2

You can go that way, but they havent got the 1.0.6 at SMF forums anymore,

Actually 1.06 is available in the Archives

@yosemite...What type of server are you on?

[yosemite]

hi philH,

i did have a copy of 1.06 and installed that and tp would not install on that either. i will have to find the server info for you as i am with lunar pages which seems like a great host for other php apps i have running.

i installed the smf 1.1 rc2 and tp went right on it but now i can not apply the sql backup i made from the smf 1.0.7 onto this new 1.1 rc2. i get this error after i use myphpadmin to import the backup..
Unknown column 'a.attachmentType' in 'field list'

i can get the smf 1.1 rc2 back to the fresh install state by importing the sql backup i made when i installed it. right now i ma at a standstill and may just try the manual install onto the 1.0.7

[yosemite]

  i figured it out. i just had to upgrade the smf 1.0.7 to 1.1 rc2 and tp went on with no problem!!

i had been in contact with the smf support trying to figure out why the sql backup from the 1.0.7 would not install onto a new smf 1.1 rc2 and after much run around they said that it is not possible as the 1.1 rc2 is way different from the 1.0.7.

this is handy information for anybody moving to a new server, putting on 1.1 rc2 and trying to apply a sql backup from a 1.0.7.

Yeppers..I for one when 1.1 is final and we can stop messing with 1.0x

Glad you got things straightened out.
