That is the most likely cause for your current issue.

Could you please attach those files where install errors occured?

Post by: Nathaniel on September 12, 2009, 11:57:51 PM: Okay, for future reference, uninstall all old versions, before installing the new version. ;)

Upload the attached file, hopefully it will get rid of those errors. You should be able to access the package manager, uninstall both versions of SimplePortal, so that none of the old code remains, then reinstall SimplePortal 2.3

Post by: Nathaniel on September 13, 2009, 01:20:11 AM: Hmm, you still seem to be having some issues on your site. At the bottom of the page there is an error message.

Looks like some parts of the older SimplePortal version might still be there, if you can attach your Subs.php file, then I should be able to fix that. :)
