SMF 1.1.5

TPv1

No Mods Installed

Babylon theme

Error message as above

ps - I had an earlier version of TP installed but when I upgraded SMF TP vanished so I uploaded a later version.

Hope somebody can help.

If you forum is sitting in that state, you have no choice to either restore from a backup, or go through the manual install instructions to see if all the changes to the files and the other files were uploaded etc.

I am not technical enough to do this - can anybody help?

How do I manually install TinyPortal

DonaldDasher it's not that difficult to do and it's something that anyone who is running an SMF/TP forum should know how to do, imho.
Take your time, read carefully and before you know it you'll get it done.

OK, I'll give it a try - but does anybody know what could have gone wrong?

was there a Tiny Portal upgrade I should have run rather than re-installing the latest version from scratch?

There's nothing wrong with the way you did it except for the fact that something didn't install correctly of course. There are a number of different reasons that could have happened but now that is has the important thing is to get your forum back up and running.

The manual install instruction will give you all the detail and direction you'll need, but you can post any questions that may come up along the way.

Here's one other very handy place to read to see if it may be of assistance to you... the article may give more detail than is needed in this case but it will likely help in your understanding of the overall process:

Another thing I should perhaps mention is that I had uploaded TP into the SMF folder - could this be what has caused the problem? Anyway, I've now removed all the TP files.

Should I try to backtrack and get SMF running again before attempting the TP manual install?

It sounds like you have a misunderstanding of how the install process for TP works. 

So just to be sure:
SMF must be up and running correctly first, then TinyPortal is installed into SMF by way of the SMF Package Manager.
... the only reason that you would upload the TP files any other way would be if you were doing a manual install and for that you would need to do as spelled out in the manual install doc.
