After uploading all files manually - just because the manager in the smf-backend does not work - I got to the tp_install.php ... and here we are with the following error:
Table 'usr_webxxx_x.smf_tp_settings' doesn't exist
Datei: /.../forum/Sources/TPortal.php
Zeile: 103
of course it doesn't I've not installed it yet ... so please, can you helb me with this for my forum doesn't work till this error isn't worked out.
Have you uploaded all the files in the manual install package?
And have you uploaded the database file and run it from your browser?
Yep ... I did all this ... and after several tries it finally worked. Or seemed to, because now I have a new error, and it seems to be a database-thing. All my admin backend doesn't work anymore. Thers no text and no links and the frontend ... maybe you would like to have a look yourself:

(the forum does work, you can post and everything, but all the data is missing: statistics, user info, copyright)
So I trashed all files and database tables again to come to the original state where I startet, but it doesn't work out. I would like to try a database update, but phpMyAdmin is telling me that 1. a table does exist when I try to overwrite and 2. that tables are missing if I'm trying a new database. So first i have to find a howto for getting the backup into the database.
It appears some of the template files were corrupted in the file transfer.
Try uploading the themes folder again.
As for your database issue, you backed up the DB and now you want to restore it?
the problem began with uploading the theme files again ... in my enthusiasm of everything going so well with my own theme I deleted the babylon, the default and the classic (yep, I kow know I shouldn't have done this) ... then I read in this forum that for the installation of TP it would be necessary to change to the default theme and so I uploaded them again and here we are ... nothings wright anymore.
going back to my old database seemed yesterday evening the only idea of getting back to normal
edit:
so I've tried and uploaded all theme files again ... but nothing's changed ... and I'm still in my own theme for I cannot change anything.
No matter what, you shouldn't remove the default theme - it contains many files that other themes rely on.
If you have CPanel or Plesk (or many other site admin control panels), you can restore your DB in there.
For the board files, you should be able to grab the 'upgrade' version of SMF and simply reload the files.
You may need to remove/reinstall some mods and themes.
I'm sorry, I didn't describe it right. I didn't delete all files from the server, I simply deactivated the themes, that should describe it better. But I reloaded and it doesn't help. Can there be any other reason for the problem with the user info and so on?
So I installed a second and new 1.1RC2 SMF and tried again to install TP ... but after thanking me for trying out thers nothing to see but the clean forum.
for the database: it's not my own webspace and database ... so I only have phpmyadmin
You have to deactivate all the themes you have installed, then reinstall the default theme, and then reinstall all the other themes you have. otherwise the other themes wont get the files used from the default theme.
Exactly - you can hide the default from users selecting it - but you don't want to deactivate it.
I never realized you could deactivate it.... :uglystupid2:
I can't deactivate or activate anything ... there are no links that I con do anything in my AdminCP ... no text ... just the pictures! But nothing I could work with!
And I'm sorry I didn't describe it right ... i didn't do anything with the default theme - otherwise there would have been problems long bevor trying to install TP ... I had a fully functional forum until this installation went wrong! And again: I cannot do anything in my AdminCP!
Oh my - this is something I've not seen before.
Now you said you have only PhpMyAdmin - do you have upload/delete access?
I tried to answer on your PM but I got an error telling me that this User doesn't exist :idiot2:
So to answer your question here: yep I have upload/delete access.
I got the database backup running on a new installation, but I really would like to know what went wrong with the first one. But I don't know how to create an account in phpmyadmin for I can't access the acp of the forum. I tried, but the password doesn't work out and I cannot log in with the (in phpmyadmin) created admin.
Thanks for trying :-) I'm really glad that I'm getting so much support.
