Tried to install 0.8.6 and got this: "The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF." Is this the wrong version for me?
Mark
PS: This is through the package manager.
not wrong version. just not updated in the xml install file. add the 1.0.7 to the lines where it say 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and the packagemanager will accept it
Explain please.
Mark
How about using the search ;)
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=3860.0
I still don't understand. Someone please tell me step-by-step how to fix this without making me jump all over the place.
Mark
unzip the tinyportal package and open up
packageinfo.xml
FIND
<version>0.86</version>
<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">
REPLACE VVITH
<version>0.86</version>
<install for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">
FIND
<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6">
REPLACE VVITH
<uninstall for="1.0.5, 1.0.6, 1.0.7">
save it and put it back into the tinyportal archive and upload it through the package manager
I think thats all that has to be edited anyway
Thank you AlanS :)
I've made the change. Now, how do I get it back in the .zip file? I've never done this before, as SMF is the only message board that works this way.
Mark
right click on the unziped folder and click add to archive and select .zip
I tried and it didn't work, same result. Can someone correct this in the download please.
Mark
In the thread i provided the link for, you have all the files needed.
There are some other threads with the same matter, and they to have files allready done. So please try do some searching in this forum, and you will have all you need.
Or try the manual install package, In the link i provided you have the index.template.php file that can be hard to find the right strings in allready done to just upload.
Go for the manual install and use that index.template.php file.
No thanks. I'll wait and someone will make that correction in the download.
Mark
Has the problem in the download been fixed?
Mark
If you mean the TP package for 1.0.7 the answer is no, No update in the downloadsection, But in the links provided you have the simple answer to get the package to work by just change a few digits in the install.xml file
It didn't work and I can't understand why the download can't be fixed.
Mark
The download hasn't been fixed because Bloc is the only one who can approve the downloads. No one has taken the time to do it because the temp fix has worked for everyone except you....
I'll check in and ask every few days. It's not a major issue. Right now, I'm using XMB and am thinking of switching, but there are other issues besides this one.
Mark
Try this one.
Ok that worked, but I'm supposed to CHMOD some files and can't figure out which ones and what the permissions are. Am I also supposed to run an install file?
Mark
If you use the package it should install for you. The chmod is something you do via FTP. To chmod a file right click on it in your FTP and select chmod. Change the files to 777 during the installation. Then change them back if you want.
I don't have a problem setting permissions, if I know which files to set. That is my question.
Mark
Why not just set them all to 777 until the install is over? Then change them back to 755 afterwards, except the Settings.php should be 666 I think.
Are you supposed to run the tp install file? If so, what would the url be? http://www.americandragracing.com/forum/?
Mark
PS: Please provide exact instructions as to the setting of the permissions, bearing in mind that I already know the basic stuff.
http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/manual_tp_install.php
But that is just going to make the database install, you still have to manually upload the TP files into your forum, and then copy and paste some code strings in a few files
Will someone please list the files that need the permissions set and what they need to be set at.
Mark
There's too many to list. I'm not going to go through and look to see all the files and directories that need to be changed just because you won't do what I asked. You'd probably find it alot easier if you'd just do a manual install.
I've never had this kind of difficulty before. If someone would post clear-cut, exact, step-by-step instructions as opposed to giving general answers, I can probably solve this problem.
Mark
I gave you a clear cut resolution. Chmod ALL files 777. Then after installing the mod chmod them back if you want. It's that simple Sunday. Sorry if I'm coming across a little grumpy here, having fun at work these last couple days..... :-\
If you really don't want to chmod all files, have a look at the modifications file in the manual install post. This will show you all the files that get modified. I think for the most part it's index.php in forum root, Sources directory/files, and the default theme.
I will update v0.8.6 in the download section here. Was on my to-do list, but got neglected. ::) :)

Will I still need to CHMOD the as yet unspecified files? I have used TP before and never remember having a problem.
Mark
The installer will ask you to change the permissions if the files needed to be changed are set to not writable.
But why dont you use the adminpanel in SMF to let the SMF set the files needed to do it for you?
This is the error I get: 2: copy(/home/sunday/public_html/forum/Themes/default/images/divider.gif): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /home/sunday/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 961
Mark
When you were using TP before and not having problems were you on a different host? This seems to be a server issue and not really a TP issue I think.
Same host.
Mark
Trying to overwrite an earlier file most likely - some hosts have that security. Maybe you could erase the TP files..they are mostly name "tp...." so that the package can get on with copying stuff? db tables are not touched so you will not lose any previous stuff.
I'll start from scratch and re-do the whole thing and see what happens.
