TP 0.8

[ICE]

OK guys, I wont thank you again, that would be boring I guess. From the Netherlands my best wishes!

No problem, Glad we were able to help this time. Make sure it's a TP compatable Amber theme you install.

[ICE]

I got it from this site, under Themes, SMF1.1RC2.

Make sure it's the " tp_amber11rc2.zip" that you have.

Phew, close call, almost installed the wrong one. I asumed that the link on the left (Themes, SMF1.1RC2) already was TP-installed.

You saved me again!!! LOL.

[ICE]

Okey everybody. I had to begin all over again because I done something wrong.....or maybe the server did. Anyway, I have deleted everything from the server, the database included.

After that:
- I uploaded the files from the archive SMF1.1RC2. (Dutch translation included).
- I opened the install.php file on the internet.
- I installed it properly and everything turned out ok.
- I downloaded the last version of TP from this site.
- I opened the Package Manager in my forum.
- I clicked on Download package.
- I inserted the file and in the new screen I clicked on UPLOAD.
- The package is Downloaded, and then I have to click on (translated) USE MOD. There is no other way.

So far I can tell you: Everything by the book.
But when I click on USE MOD (probably to install everything), I got nothing else than a white screen with the text (translated from Dutch, so I hope you understand whitch page I mean) Page cannot be openend. (due to technical problems).

This is the part where everything goes wrong because after this, the TP will never be installed the correct way. This is why I had so many difficulties bringing it back up. (Thanx to you guys I managed it!)

I have tried this for 3 times now, and it all stops at the same point.
And off course I've got the link it's searching for. Maybe you know what to do about it.

This is the point that I informed you guys. (Go back to begin of this topic) And I must say, I think that the problem with the calender and all the permissions (mentioned in one of my other topics on this Forum), is due to this error in installing TP.

I certainly hope I made the problem clear to you guys. I don't see how I've could done this different.

It sounds like a server permision problem. You have to grant SMF permission to change/overwrite the files from the mod package. If chmod'ing the index.template.php; load.php, Subs.php; ManagePermissions.php, The Themes and Sources folders, to 777 before the install package in package manager does not work.
Then do a manual install. Directions should be in links in my signature, and within the TP.zip you got from this site.

I don't understand it very much, but if I read it correct, the server is the problem. Okey. So, how do I change it? I've tried to change it with the menu Options in the Package Manager, but everytime I try to fill out the formquestions, he returns to that same form without changing anything.

With formquestions I mean: FTP-server, Port, username, etc etc.

I guess I'm not very good with this. Should I continue?

[ICE]

YES! NO!
That is what I say here all the time, behind my desk.
I managed to fill in the correct terms (Package Manager / Options),
like FTP, username, etc etc. SMF seems to accept the values I gave him.

But after a little time: http://formule1.justice4u.nl/index.php?action=cleanperms

Check the permissions again. Check that the directory SMF is in is 777, the root for that site if you can (change it back after the install), and all files. Check things like the default theme buttons, especially. I knwo it desnt say to set them to 777, but this has stopped an install for me before (some buttons are overwritten by TP).
