Problems with SMF 1.1.1. and TP 0.97

You're right about the manual install files.. It's so easy, you just download > unzip > upload. But then you need to modify several php files!  Don't stop reading now, all hope is not lost: If you have no mods or anything you can just download > unzip > upload and overwrite all files with this handy zip: http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=11547.0 (after you already upload the initial manual file-set and ran the sql script)  - Thus avoiding having to mod any php files yourself.  Almost makes it like an auto install, with just a few extra steps

Are you running on linux?  you may not be chowned properly.  I had this problem with joomla, smf, and subdreamer where installations would put the owner as httpd instead of me thus causing problems when I needed to make changes via ftp.  That's something worth checking, but you may need to contact your host and ask them to re-chown your entire website to you.

Not sure what my host is running on, I was thinking of downloading the full version and reinstalling, the database should be safe, but its the hassle of setting it up again. Sometimes I wondered why I upgraded or how it would be nice to have a support person who can access my forum FTP to assist - as this is doing my head in! So you suggest, download the manual install, install that, then download this zip and upload that bit?

Yeah that's my recommendation, that's how I got it working  

1. Download the Manual Install zip, then unzip > upload & overwrite all files in forum folder.

2. Download the "Database Install" file then upload, then run the php script on your site by going www.yoursite.com/whateverthescriptiscalled.php

3. Download the Premade Manual Install Files for SMF 1.1.1 packet from here: http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=11547.0 and do the same thing you did with step 1 (unzip > upload & overwrite)

Where is the manual install script ? is that in the first zip package (step 1?)

Manual install script: http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item484

Er, It's called the "database install" - sorry. ALso, its not zipped..

Actually, there is a databse install and manual install options. Try looking a bit closer.

To end this thread for good:

If you have applied the 1.1.1 patch, and cannot install 0.97, simply uninstall the patch, install 0.97, then reinstall the patch. It's not exactly rocket science, and it works.

Ok..
what if i install the full new smf 1.1.1.zip and then TP_0.9.7 will it install?

Thats where I am at. Brand new install of 1.1.1 and tp .9.7. It doesnt work. I have no patches to uninstall, apply tp, then reinstall the patch. I have a brand new install of 1.1.1

I did get it to work by the three step process described in various places in these threads however
