Install Problem - Old database?

[dcr]

Hi all,

I recently upgraded from SMF 1.08 to 1.1 RC3, and installed TP 0.9.6 though the Package Manager while set to the default template. I only get two blocks on the left side, when all blocks are turned on (L,C,R) and the "Forum" button does nothing when I click it.

I installed TP on a test directory awhile back, and when I install the new TP 0.9.6, I still see the old RSS feeds and things that I had set up on the test directory. The test directory has been removed, so is it possible that it is grabbing the SQL database that was created for the test directory or something?

I just want to flush out all old TP stuff and get this new release working on my RC3 update, so any ideas on how to clear this all out?

Replace the old file wit this one
In your source dir

Thanks, CG.

I tried that, but I have the same issue with the new file uploaded. I am going to delete that second database for fun and see what happens, though that may not be it.

..and the second database is gone, but that old TP info is still popping up in my settings. I am not sure what to do next...maybe now that I have the entire directory cleaned up I should reinstall the  1.1 RC3 upgrade and try again.

It sounds like your Settings.php file is pointing to the wrong place.

Hmm...

Doesn't that get overwritten in the upgrade normally?

How can I fix that if not?

[JPDeni]

It should be overwritten, but you never know. Take a look at it. Download it and open it in a text file to see if it's pointing to the place it should be pointing. If you have deleted the TP tables and you're still getting data from TP tables, then it's getting the tables from somewhere else.

I only deleted folders and such, and a second old database. Do I have to enter my original SQL database and remove TP tables maybe?

[JPDeni]

I don't know. Take a look at your Settings.php file and see what it says.

I think it is pointing at the correct spot...at least that is the right database.
