SMF 1.1.8 + TP 0.983 + Default Theme = No TP Admin...

Best course of action is to restore the SMF files by uploading all the files from the SMF "large upgrade" package. This will restore your forum as if no mods have been installed.

From there, I would chmod everything to 777 except the Settings.php file which can stay at 666. Then try to do the tinyportal install. If it doesn't work through the package manager at this point, you will have to do a manual install of this mod because of the way your host permissions work.

Everything is okay now, but I get the following error currently in two places only:

Trying to upload a document in the Downloads Manager and for blocks of type html/bbc:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_main() (previously declared in /home/lexurldo/domains/motleypixel.com/public_html/pack562/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code: in /home/lexurldo/domains/motleypixel.com/public_html/pack562/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 733

I really don't know what error is trying to say...any ideas?

Thanks,
Roy

A "redeclare" error means that you have duplicate code somewhere...possibly in Load.php. However, it could be in another file and is being called by the Load.php file.

You usually get duplicate code by uninstalled and reinstalling the same mod. The mod did not remove all of the code and a reinstall added it again.

I blame all of this on the permissions thing...weird things are happening.  It seems anytime smf from a server-side invokes a script to make changes it halts.  Arrrrrrgggg.  Wife's pissed now since I've wasted so much time on this...so when she's pissed...it's all down-hill from here.

So, lets say I'm the host owner, how would I change the server-side behavior to allow user xyz files to always maintain ownership?

Thanks for the help!

Most likely would have to recompile apache and php if its not already working that way.  PHPsuexec is the module I think you have to compile in it. Google it, I'm sure you'll find lots of info on it.
