Error with TP+RC3

[G6Cad]

I sure will keep my fingers crossed for you to make this work this time, i know in my heart that you CAN DO THIS!!

1. Deleted everything that has anything to do with PoseRoom (the site in question) on my webserver. Used SmartFTP to do this.

2. Deleted all PoseRoom entries in the database, using phpMyAdmin.

3. Created a new folder on my web, called TPtest.

4. Installed SMF 1.1 RC3 under the TPtest folder.

5. Having a cig and some food while that installs.

6. Made sure the SMF forum works fine.

7. Re-downloaded the TP_095beta.zip

8. Used Package Manager to upload the TP package. "The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes."

9. Another cig.

I am still not able to see any TP stuff on the page, so I figure I will continue tomorrow.

If you'd like you can upload the files that are already edited for TP from the installation forum. Then run the manual_tp_install.php file to update your database.

[Tussa]

Should I do a fresh SMF install first, then TP from the package manager, and then the edited files? Or...?

[G6Cad]

Yes

The best way to go is always from default and fresh files, and then add TP first, then the smaller mods

[Tussa]

Ok, I'm trying again. This has become a crusade now

Tussa, one area which I think may have contributed to my errors.  When installing TP, make sure you are on the SMF DEFAULT theme, not just the "DEFAULT" theme...  They are 2 very different themes (even though they appear identical).

I still contend that I had failures on the SMF Default theme multiple times, but this is a point that can easily be overlooked.

[Tussa]

Yes, it is on that. Thanks, though. The fresh install only comes with SMF Default Theme Core, Babylon and Classic YaBB, so there's little I can do to make wrong . Installing TP from the package manager now.

The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes.

The pre-edited TP files have also been transferred through ftp.

Before I do anything else...this manual_tp_install.php file...where is it supposed to be? Cause when I've installed TP through the package manager, I honestly can't see it in the root.

[G6Cad]

You wont see it in you install TP through the package manager. All files will have a temp folder in the packages folder in your forum where it holds the install file and all the other files that will be extracted and placed to the correct folders during the install.
If you do the install through the package manager, there is no reason for you to upload any file manually, the manager will do all the work for you.
