Hi
I have attempted to run the last piece of the manual installation.
As I try to run the tp_install.php for the databse update and table update, the page loads just saying Hacking Attempt...
How do I now update the tables & database?
Welcome to TP Third...
This has been looked into before:
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,29861.0.html
When CHMod'ing the files... Do you mean all the files & directories under my forum directory. Or just the TP files?
Try the TP files and go from there since this has to do with TP.
I attempted it with all the TP files... Didn't work... then attempted it with all the forum files... Still didn't work...
so now what?
Third,
Please read the Posting Guidelines.html (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php/topic,581) and provide the requested data so that we will have a better understanding of what is installed on your site.
Never mind!
It done it automatically according to a friend. therefore as it has been run already it wont allow it to be ran again?
I'll let you confirm that...?
I am not sure on that. Does your forum function as expected? if so then that may be true. Also if you happened to install it thru the package manager and then go thru the manual install to fix any 'errors' you had in the package manager prior to installation then yes the database update has already been updated.
It all seems to function as i expected.
I installed it all manually... edited the files then I got the the bit about database & tables and didn't do it but it seems as if it is done...
Ok, I will mark this as solved. let us know if you need more help on anything. Please start a new topic if the need arrises for more help.
One thing I did notice when I had this problem, was the hacking attempt message doesn't get displayed until near the end of the tp_install.php file.
By the time the hacking attempt message gets displayed, most of the database updates have been done. I put echo statements into the file to see where the error was being generated, and I think it was when SSI.php got called that the error occurred.
There is no direct code in tp_install.php to display the hacking attempt message, so it has to be generated by an external file.
