SMF 107 TP install Problems.........

[agridoc]

If you started from a fresh install of SMF 1.07, the patch SMF 1.0.7 / 1.1 RC2 Update must not be applied. It is for upgrading 1.06 to 1.07.

Try first removing it.

I tried doing the same thing and when I upload the Tiny Portal 0.86 and then try applying it I get the following error:

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Im using SMF1.07 and Tiny Portal 0.86

Hello insane, can you do a package install in your host?

Some hosts run PHP in safe mode not permitting package install. In this case you will get this message with ANY package you are trying to install.

Try to remember, when you installed SMF, did you see a message to change some dirs and files attributes? Do you remember if you had to do this by FTP?

Hey agro I actually found a link that had you do the files only followed by the manual install of the DB tables and Im all good!! Working like a charm Thanks for offering the help to me though. Much appreciated.

It is from a fantastico install version 105, then online upgrade in admin.

If you applied sussecfully this patch from a package TP install should go without problems.

I have seen some problems reported in the past for SMF installed by Fantastico, that was sometime ago. Do a search there. If your forum is just for testing try a new fresh install of 1.07 or 1.1 RC2.

agridoc,
It is going to be a live setup which needs to be pretty secure, I think I need to use another program until TP is a little further along.
Was just trying SMF when I saw what TP could add to it and it was basically what I was looking for.
I have been running Postnuke, phpbb, Gallery and some others for around 5 years.
I just seem to be missing something here.
Thanks for the Help.

cntry you are familiar with your system and you have developed your site gradually all these years.

Changing from a system that goes well is a difficult and not always wise decision. I believe that you will start considering it seriously only if you see another site, similar to yours to work equally well or better than yours.

If you want it for a new site I think SMF+TP worths trying a little harder.

agridoc,
I'm not done yet.

My main website is for Motorcycles in Arizona and right now I have a couple of runs to cover, so I will put this on hold for a couple weeks.

I really like the SMF/TP set up.

I will be back for more!

I too nwould love to install TP in my SMF 1.7 forum, but I can't seem to get it into the package manager to run. I have tried many ways, but nothing seems to work. It's been a little bit since I first set everything up, but I never had problems setting up other ad ons before.

If someone here thinks they can set it up, I would be really interested and give them admin rights so they could try it. I want Tiny Portal real bad, but it's not showing me any love so far.
