...upload the tinyportal to ypur package manager and shoose to install the mod from there...

Argh!!! This is driving me nuts!!! Where/what is the "package manager"? I'm sure SMF and TinyPortal are great, but it looks kinda like a maze when you're used to work with phpBB for years.

How come there aren't any installation instructions with the TinyPortal distribution? Do I need to upload the TinyPortal zipfile anywhere? Where? Of do I need to unzip it first?

Please, I'm not new to forums, php, installations or anything, but I'm totally new to SMF and this portal thing and it doesn't look like anything I'm used to.

I've already replied to your post Tinysucker. And FYI the package manager link is in your admin panel.

Take a round first on SMF' s Online Manual.

Hi, I'm new on here. A little help would be highly appreciated. I get the same error message when installing tinyportal:

"2: copy(/home/getfitr/public_html/forum/Themes/default/languages/TPortalAdmin.english.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /home/getfitr/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 961

I have tried changing the mod to 755 with ftp but still doesn't work. I unzipped it on my local computer but the "subs-package.php" file is not there. I am very confused.

I read in an earlier post that the themes dir had to be erased. Could this be the problem? Do you want me to delete everything (files and subdirectories) in the themes dir?

Hope someone can help me fix this.

I read in an earlier post that the themes dir had to be erased.

DON' T ERASE THE THEMES DIR. Make it and it's directories 777 or 755 if your server doesn' t accept 777.

The following is for installing SMF applies also to upgrading and installing mods.

The following files need to be CHMOD'ed to 777.

avatars
Packages
Packages/installed.list
Packages/server.list
Smileys
Themes
agreement.txt
Settings.php
