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

[G6Cad]

If you do a little bit of search you will have all the info needed to make it all by your self.

i suggest you read through in the install forum and see what you have to do to make it

Well I have done a lot of reading, not only here but at SMFhacks and others. Regardless, I don't seem able to get it into my package folder in the correct way so I can install it. I guess I will just keep looking for another portal.

Thanks anyways

The easy way to install this mod is through the package manager. So lucky for you, there's a way to install this without the package manager. Manually! All that is required is that you upload the "files only" (unzipped of course) package to your forum folder. Then run the manual_install.php file. Then take the modification text file and apply the changes to your SMF files where necessary. And viola! You have a new portal on your forum.

Can you please tell me how I go about running the tp_install.php? I have a folder with the TP program inside, including the tp_install.php on the server. However, I don't know how I actually run it from there.

Thanks

Point your browser to where you have the file located
EG: http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/tp_install.php

make sure you have uploaded all the TP files to the proper folders and pasted the code needed in to the files as instructed from the manual install text

Thanks G6
That is the way I thought I was supposed to do it, but I wind up with an error that continues like this, (below) for a full page:

Warning: mysql_query(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /home/content/r/d/w/rdwco/html/smf/Tinyportal0_86_rev2/tp_install.php on line 16

Warning: mysql_query(): A link to the server could not be established in /home/content/r/d/w/rdwco/html/smf/Tinyportal0_86_rev2/tp_install.php on line 16

Any idea why?

Go to TinyPortal v.0.8.6 - manual install (database only)

Download the file, upload by FTP in your SMF/TP dir and run it. Delete after use.

See how it goes.

As Agridoc pointed out, you are running the wrong install file. The manual install.php file is the right one. Just wanted to make sure you were clear on what you were doing.
