Did the so called upgrade from smf to 1.1.2 and it jacked my site into nothingness. FInaly got the the smf part working and tried to upload the new package Ich posted but I get errors inside the package manager.
Tried a manual instal and things are only getting worse for me.
I know people have been talking about this in other threads and I have tried the suggestions there and in the process have totaly trashed my entire site.
I am going to have to delete and reinstall everything. My main concern is if I am going to be able to connect to exsisting database so I dont loose all my forums and posts and how tp stores it's atricles and how to reconnect to those. I have countless hours of php articles and what not, I would like to not have to write again as I am obviously a total looser at coding.
PLease any help reconnecting to the exsisting db and hopefully salvaging all my tp articles etc.
If you keep your Settings.php file that stores all of your database info such as posts/members/TP articles etc.
All you need to do is upload a fresh set of files from the upgrade package at SMF for your version. If you try to install TP after that and you get failures, this is more than likely because your files did not overwrite the old ones. Upload them until they do or try another FTP program.
Thanx so much for the quick responce.
K ended up doing a complete reinstall back to sms 1.1.1 trying to upload the package for tp and still getting an error.
An Error Has Occurred!
Could not upload package, please check directory permissions!
All permissions are set to 777 so I cant see what is wrong.
I have a backup of my old database so I was going to restore it once I get things back up and running.
Any ideas as to why this keeps happening? Everything went smooth as butter the first time I installed.
Create a temp directory inside your packages dir. Chmod it to 777 and then try the install again. See if that helps.
k made a folder inside of packages called temp mmade the permissions 777 and tried again. Still getting that same error.
If your packages and temp folder is 777 then you may have a corrupt Settings.php file. Make a backup of your Settings.php and Settings_bak.php file. After doing so remove your Settings.php file and rename the Settings_bak.php to Settings.php. After this is done and you verify that your forum is still running properly try to install your mod. If this doesn't work, I can only suggest that you install mods manually from now on.
