Install path under "Action" is wrong...why?

[DenverMike]

For SMF, I downloaded the current 1.1.4 package.

For TP, I downloaded http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item745

@G6 - As I said before, SMF is installed and working just fine. The paths are right. I've been working with SMF for over 2.5 years across a dozen or so boards so this is not foreign to me. I've used TP plenty in the past but I never updated it. These three servers I'm installing it on have NO OTHER web sites on them. They are brand spanking shiny new servers.

For giggles and grins I uploaded some static pages and they're all working fine. The plain install of SMF 1.1.4 is working just fine. Adding some random mods for SMF also appear to be working fine. But when I install TP 0.983, the file edits are made but the SMF files (wysiwyg, tp-downloads, etc) all get installed in the /home/<user> directory instead of the /home/<user>/domains/familyhost.org/public_html/immo directory where SMF is installed and running.

The webroot itself is /home/<user>/domains/familyhost.org/public_html
SMF is installed in /home/<user>/domains/familyhost.org/public_html/immo
again, TP, after I hit the install button, makes the appropriate file edits (I'm assuming the file edits are made) but copies the files in the package to the FTP root, not the web root. Big difference.

if it's any help, I get the following errors in the forum log when I go to install TP:

2: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
2: fopen(/home/<user>/domains/familyhost.org/public_html/immo/SSI.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied    (I set ssi.php to 777 to be safe however so it shouldn't be a file permission issue).

and there are 4 pages of those. As for my PHP, safe_mode is off, open_basedir is on, register_globals is off (you all don't care about that) and I do not have any blocked commands however, I do have the following:

perhaps the TP install is being borked/mangled by suhosin? I was just thinking about that.

It does seem to be a server configuration issue, but I'm no guru on servers.
I know you are reluctant to use the manual install, and with 3 sites, I can understand that.. but you wouldn't be the first that has had to.

One of the Admin may have other advice as they have more experience with servers than I do.

[DenverMike]

actually, for fun, I removed the site and dropped all the tables in the database, I commented out Suhosin from my php.ini and tried again. It works fine now. That's bad actually. Suhosin stops known bad PHP scripting (not any particular scripts, but scripts that perform sub-optimal operations or possible security issues). Once I re-enable it, the site still works fine so there's a workaround.

Hmm.. well, I'm pleased you are getting somewhere with it  :up:

I'm talking in relative paths on the file system. I'm using us english (everything is UTF-8) and i'm not sure what you mean by how did I install SMF. I installed SMF like I would a default install.

I see you got the installation going, and know you will enjoy the many benefits of TP. Not a support member here, but can't sleep tonight... but I digress.

I thought there was a known issue with UTF-8 English, as described here. I don't know if you're installing via Fantastico/CPanel, but may be something related- just for future reference.

I've had TP running before, older versions, so it's not that it was new to me and GOD NO, I refuse to touch cPanel and the rootkit-made-easy tool known as Fantastico.

I'm assuming this topic is now solved? I have marked it solved. Feel free to change it if not.
