Hi,
I am having the problem of installing TP using the method of mod install. I suppose that if you can supply the list of files to chmod 777, the mod install method should work. Please help me out on this direction.
Thank you in advance.
What problems? I have set up a new test site today and there were no problems at all when following the general guidance given, clean SMF 1.1.1 and then TP 0.9.7.1. Because TP is so complex it needs to be installed as the first mod.
Do you mean that there is no need to chmod? I believe that I have a clean SMF 1.1.1. and I am installing all these on a home server (FEDORA c6). I clearly uploaded the zip file in position. Under normal situation, once I click "Apply," the installation should start and then finish. However, I got ftp check stuff. Will you give some extra info?
Thank you.

How did you upload the file? It has to be uploaded by the Package Manager in the Admin Panel.
I download the zip file and saved it to tmp folder. Uploaded the zip by package manager in admin panel.
Thank you.
I didn't need to chmod any files, I don't recall any mods needing any changes, but I think that can vary with different servers and file 'ownership'.
Just recall installation of SMF. A list of chmod as:
chmod 777 attachments
chmod 777 avatars
chmod 777 Packages
chmod 777 Packages/installed.list
chmod 777 Smileys
chmod 777 Themes
chmod 777 agreement.txt
chmod 777 Settings.php
chmod 777 Settings_bak.php
has to be done to install SMF directly, otherwise ftp stuff appears.
I suspect that there must be a set of files need to chmod 777 for this install as message appear on the install:
"Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager."Please help me.
Thank you.

There does appear to be significant differences between the servers, I haven't had to chmod any folders to install any mods.
TP install will install files into Sources and Themes, so chmod Sources and check the settings on Themes, default and Babylon themes and their sub folders. If this doesn't cure the problem then all that is left is the SMF files that TP needs to modify. G6 has made a package of these, which you can find here.

I was thinking use the menu install and this time I was forced to do it. Great feeling and it is all set. I could not believe how easy it was.
Thank you very very very much.

I still have just a little problem for language. When I change it to Chinese_simplified_utf8, it screws up home page and Backend TinyPortal portion vanishes. I did download the Chinese language support from www.smf.cn.
I attach the language file for your reference.
Thank you for continuing support.
