Error when installing TP_983

[Jacobryan]

Download the big upgrade package from SMF, extract the package on your local machine and then take out the upgrade.php and the 2 sql update files.
Upload them to your forum root and point the browser to the upgrade.php file.
Let it update the database, then try and install TP again.

I have already done that the first time I had trouble and it did not fix the problem. Should I try it again??

[Jacobryan]

What are the names of the 2 sql update files?

[G6Cad]

Uppgrade 1-1.sql
Uppgrade 1-0.sql

What SQL version do you have ?

[Jacobryan]

4 I believe

[Jacobryan]

upload those 3 file and run the upgrade correct?

[G6Cad]

Yes

[Jacobryan]

Did it and it still gave me the same error!

You may want to check to see what tp_install.php is trying to do on line 169. May give you/us a clue as to what it's trying to do.

EDIT: Never mind. Listen to G6. She knows a lot more about this than I do. I just hack code. 

Then I suggest get your facts straight first. Its not helpful when you don't know what you are talking about. "mysql_num_rows" is a php function and it fails if the sql table it tries to read doesn't exist or doesn't have any entries.


Jacobryan,

..From the error it seems to not be able to read the tp_settings table and be able to update a few items there. But I am bit uncertain how you did the upgrade for TP. Did you import the entire zip package and just pressed "apply mod"?

[Jacobryan]

Mr. Bloc I have done so much in the past couple of days I'm not sure what I did!! 

When I installed TP 983 I got an error I was then told to run smf Big Update.  After that I was told to try the upload the TP 983 and it should work but it still gave me the same error.   No matter what I do now I keep getting the same error mess.  I've got to run to work but I will check back when I get off.  I might have missed a simple step but I have totally confused myself now!

If you can make other mods install and work, then its something with TP. If you can't, then its the server setup somehow.
