Installing TP 1.0 Beta 4 on GoDaddy hosting

[Delmustator]

Being a 20+ year IT veteran. I backed up the site before I did any work on it.

Restored from backup. All is back up now.

I'm starting to dislike GoDaddy.... Their response to this issue..

"Unfortunately, we are very limited in the support we can offer for customer-written/third-party code or scripts such as this. If there is evidence that our system is responsible for the error, please forward it to us, and we would be happy to look into the matter further. But at the moment this does not yet appear to be the case, so we regret we can not currently assist you with this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Interestingly that none of my other clients are having this issue and installing TP with SMF was a snap. Only this server appears to be having an issue.

Not sure if its was mentioned..but after you installed it, when you got the 500 error: did you check that all files from TP were indeed uploaded, using ftp? Sometimes the mod goes through, but the files are not copied properly within the server - or even set to 0 in size.

It would be enough to simply upload fresh TP files then, the SMF files *should* have been modded, but you could also check that.

From what I can tell, some of the install process gets completed before the 500 error occurs. It seems to happen consistently at the 30 second mark. I stopwatch'd it twice to confirm. As with everything, some servers are faster than others. I don't think it's completing the job before some timer fires and stops the process. Being that this server is part of their grid hosting, I think that is causing latency. I checked on the other servers that are not giving me issues and they are what GoDaddy called "legacy" Windows hosting.

I'm thinking of manually installing TP on my server and just uploading it to the GoDaddy host. I'm running IIS6 with no PHP. So it would be tons of work just to clear this issue.

if you have smf / tp should install .. that makes no common sense imo..
