Why do I not have my index.template.php file? I have downloaded the install and manual install 3 times tonight and tried installing the package into my SMF site. I did it this afternoon while I was at work, working on another site using SMF/TP and had NO problems whatsoever. When I try to Apply Mod, I am getting a index.template.php test failed error.
wha' happen?!
That does not mean that the file is not there. It means that it couldn't be written to. make sure that the file is writable(give the file a 777 permission). You might even have to modify the file by hand if it still won't work.
Well, after unzipping all the attempts to download, the actual file itself is not there. I'd love to change permissions, but the file does not exist. Can someone post one for me?
I have even searched through the files on the server and the file is not there either. I can't believe I'm having these problems after the effortless install this afternoon.
Where are you looking? its not in the default theme directory?
Also you need to make sure that your are using the default theme when installing mods(not the forum default, THE default theme)
I have looked through the entire contents of the zip files, uploaded them to the server via FTP and searched there, used SMF to perform it's own installation and then checked the entire site for the file after rcvg the error. I'm gonna go back and look some more. I've got to be diong something wrong and I'm simply overlooking something (I hope).
Installing this package will perform the following actions: Type Action Description
1. Extract Tree ./Themes
2. Extract Tree ./Sources
3. Extract Tree ./tp-downloads
4. Extract Tree ./tp-images
5. Extract Tree ./FCKeditor
6. Extract Tree ./wysiwyg
7. Execute Code tp_install.php
8. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful
9. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php Test successful
10. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/index.template.php Test failed
11. Execute Modification ./Themes/babylon/index.template.php Test successful
12. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Test successful
13. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php Test successful
14. Execute Modification ./Sources/Security.php Test successful

18. Execute Modification ./Sources/Profile.php Test successful
19. Execute Modification ./SSI.php Test successful
The error means that the install failed on the file that is located in /Themes/default/index.template.php
Its more than likely because you have install another mod or modified that file in a way that TP can no longer find the code it needs to change/add. You'll either have to put a new index.template.php file from the SMF package download, or add the code changes by hand.
Roger, Roger. I tried reinstalling umpteen times with no luck. I have also been searching for the actual index.template.php to place in the directory. The SMF is provided by godaddy.com, so I may just try starting another SMF from scratch and reload the TP package first.
The index.template.php arent in the TP package, the XML file in the install package of TP just make changes to the index.template.php thats allready there from the SMF install package.
If you look in your FORUM root/themes/Default/ folder (where your forum is installd) through ftp, you will find the index.template.php right there, and if you need a new one, you need to download the SMF 1.1.1 package from simplemachines.org and extract the file, then look in the tree structure and open the folder called /themes/Default/ here you will find the index.template.php
I'm having the same problem (I know the file's not missing), and I pulled the file from the original install, but I'm still getting an error. I have done the update to 1.1.2, and am using the updated 1.1.2 TP file give in this forum.
I've uninstalled all mods except the update to 1.1.2, and I'm using the default theme. I also tried changing the permission on that file, but that did not help either.
If I were to do changes by hand, how do I go about that?
