Have you tried using the Search feature?

What Mods do you have installed? List them.

[tunerturner]

I used search button...

And havnt installed any... I unistalled all of the ones that were on there

[Zetan]

I just searched for your error and had 3 pages of results returned:

/Themes/default/index.template.php    Test failed

Do none of those search results offer up any solution?

[Zetan]

Ok, generally what you do is procede with the install, and then manually make the edits to the index.template.php file, following the instructions in the Docs section here at TP. Only following the parts that refer to the index.template.php

The documentation for manual install is here:
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=14195

There is more information in the Docs section.

<?php

// Try to handle it with the upper level index.php. (it should know what to do.)
if (file_exists(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php'))
   include (dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/index.php');
else
   exit;

?>


Thats all it says... Where do i go?

tunerturner take another look at the post by Zetan and follow those directions.

That will take you to the correct file and give you the correct code to look for and add.

Do you have a good editing utility?

There are lots of them... I use a free one called Notepad++ and it has a search feature that will help when looking for code in a document.

Here's a 'how-to' that I sometimes post about file editing issues, hope it's helps a little.

Doing a manual install of TinyPortal is easy to do, you just need to follow the directions found in the Manual Install File Modifications Guide.
Take your time and read carefully as you go and it will work well.


Here's how to safely do file edits:
FileZilla
One of the better ftp utilities and it's free.
It's the only one I use.
And you'll need a good editor, here is a nice free one:
Notepad++

Any time you do anything to your forum there is one thing that you should make part of your routine, like:

Backup... Backup... Backup!

When editing a file I generally do this;
Make a temp folder on my desktop...
Open the site with the FileZilla FTP utility...
Download a copy of the file in question and place it in the temp folder...
Then download a fresh copy into my editor and edit away...
Go back to the site and rename the existing online copy of the file to something else, like, old_filename.php...
Then upload the edited version of the file.
When doing several files I wait until all of them have been edited so that they can all be uploaded at the same time.

If everything is OK then I'm finished.
If its all messed up I just delete the bad file that was uploaded, rename the good one to the correct file name and the forum is back to normal.
