Created brand new directory.
Created brand new database.
Installed brand new SMF118
Installed brand new TP
No safe mode.
No mods, no UTF, nothing: Brand fresh and clean. Can not be more clean than that!
Both installs with no problem.
TP is well in the installed mods list, but... no trace of TP in the admin panel. :uglystupid2:
What could possibly go wrong?
Blank Admin Panel or Text missing? (http://docs.tinyportal.co.uk/index.php?topic=34) <-- Click here
I checked that one already: No UTF or so: Well in English.
Additionally: Impossible to uninstall:
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
Greetings superlalynx ,
Welcome to TinyPortal.
We're going to need more information than what you've given us --> Please Read and Reply to the Posting Guidelines (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,581) including a link to your site and as much other info as you can give us.

Link to my site: http://www.de-rocker.net/BRGC4/
SMF version: 118 the latest
TP version: TP1B3 the latest
Theme name and version: Default original
Mods installed: No mods
Related Error messages:None: just no show.
Looking at your forum it appears that TP did not install correctly, you are going to need to do a manual install.
Follow these instructions: How do I manually install TinyPortal (http://docs.tinyportal.co.uk/index.php?topic=29)
Is this a confirmation that TinyyPortal does not install itself on a absolutely clean SMF118?
No, its confirmation that you're host does not have a properly configured server.
Any data on how a server should configured to host TinyPortal so that I can have a word with my host?
What they need to change is the permissions, so you always will be the owner of the files and folders, even if apache handles the files during an install
As you have it now ( I assume ) is that if you do things manually, you can also change everything with the files and inside the files, but if you use the package manager, and let the apache do the install, the server itself gets to be the owner and after that, you cant change or edit anything as you are not the owner.
if you look at the files and folders through FTP, you probably see something like
yourservernameinuse/99 where the 99 ( or any other number ) would be the server and not you.
It needs to say the same on both sides of the /
Change the permissions?
What exactly should I ask.
So far I can change all permissions for all directories & files, via ftp or CP.
Is it another kind of permissions, not related with safe mode?
FYR, PortaMx and SimplePortal are working fine on the same server!
What makes yours different?
superlalynx,
I have installed TP on "lots" of sites and others here have too. Your comments about TP does not install on a fresh SMF install was a bit uncalled for since we know it installs just fine. In your particular situation it appears to not have done so. Comparing TP to other portals does not help the situation at all. We are trying to help you in your situation but if we are not there to do the install we have no idea what happened during the install. I say TP did not install because I see no evidence of it on the main page of your forums.
I can suggest you uninstall TP.
Make sure you have used the options in the package manager and set the permissions on your site to the defaults. if you have used any of the other portals they may have changed the permissions on some of SMF's files.
Also when you installed TP the first time did it pass all of it's pre-test install test?
Then try installing again.
In your last post you ask whats make ours different is "it is the best".
From the outside, it is obvious that TP is not installed because I could never get to its admin panel: It does not show at all.
But, again, on the "browse packages" panel; it's shown as installed (https://www.tinyportal.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.de-rocker.net%2FSnap23.gif&hash=dda7e32a59fa25ef7938d70172ad02aa8d50aba9)
, as well as in the "installed packages".
(https://www.tinyportal.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.de-rocker.net%2FSnap24.gif&hash=cdc18e766be56536b71974060374dd64b47991e9)
Absolutely everything went right at install, no error message, nothing.
Install was done on a new directory, made in a different domain but on the same server, new SMF, no mods, no languages, nothing. So no interference from any other mod or portal...
And I did the install with the package manager, whole procedure without any problem.
Because I could not uninstall TP from within SMF, I erased the whole directory and cleared the whole database.
Installed again SMF, ftp'd to 777 all files, and installed TP, without any problem, install confirmed like above... but no trace of TP in admin!
Quite frustrating, isn't it?
Yes very frustrating... You should see a Tinyportal block on the left to do admin from. Is that missing?
Yeap! See:

Then you need to do a manual install. Although the install from your point of view thru the package manager went fine it is obvious it did not.

And let us know what you get after the manual install.
