Basic Install Guide[old]

[osquitar]

What about this site?

It's RC2

[PhilH]

Yes but the TP version, also shown at the bottom of the page, is v0.8.5

[osquitar]

Can I install v0.75 and smf1.1RC1 with this Basic Install Guide?

[PhilH]

yes, some of the errors and details won't apply but overall the guide is still usable.

I get the following error from the server when I set up the CHMOD to 777:


Internal Server Error


The directory containing /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/perujoomla.com/httpdocs/foro01.perujoomla.com/index.php cannot be world writable.


Tip:  If you are the owner of this site, more info is at the Globat knowledgebase.

Looks like your host won't allow you to do this. If you still can't install TP after this, I would tell them they need to give apache permission to write to the files in your directory if they won't allow you to have it writeable.

This is exactly what I was talking about in another thread with servers not being setup properly for SMF to work.

[PhilH]

Has anyone seen a "test mod" over at SMF? of perhaps one of the test scripts.php has some useful info.

It would be so cool if a benign testing script could be installed that would indicate if TP is going to work or install correctly. Something like spelltest.php...call it modtest.php or packagetest.php or what the heck....tptest.php

The package manager tells you if it will work or not when you do a test install. Unfortunately it can not cover ever server mishap.

I reach "Please restart your forum to see changes". After that, the page becomes blank. My server doesn't show errors because they have php.ini set so. I guess there are one or more php errors, but I can't see them.

Use an FTP program to look at the TPortalxxx.php files in your Themes/default directory, and check their file size. Sometimes, in SMF 1.1 RC1, SMF would upload zero byte files, and that could cause it to act like that.

If they are zero byte sized files, then you will need to upload the files to the proer directory (some to the Themes/default, some to Sources, and some to some of the images folders under Themes/default).

If this is the problem, just uploading the files manually should fix this.
