Post by: Nathaniel on May 06, 2010, 08:33:58 AM: It looks like SimplePortal didn't install properly, did you get any errors from the SMF package manager when you tried to install it?

Post by: AngelinaBelle on May 06, 2010, 04:51:26 PM: The best and easiest way to install an SMF mod is to use the SMF package manager. In addition to putting files in their places, SMF modification installers also make modifications to other files and add information to your database.

Please read about SMF package installation at http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=49.0;sort=subject (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=49.0;sort=subject)

First you should get the package onto your server (via direct download from SMF or via upload from your desktop) http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=93#post_upload (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=93#post_upload)

Then you should INSTALL that package.

I am not familiar with the "1.1.11x tutorial" you mention. Can you give us a URL for the instructions you followed?

Post by: ranqetwist on May 06, 2010, 05:09:21 PM: Yes sure, no problem.
Well first off go here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1104) then theres a drop down menu. Click 1.1.11

Post by: AngelinaBelle on May 06, 2010, 07:37:53 PM: That is not exactly a tutorial. That is an explanation of all the changes SimplePortal makes to your files -- a set of instructions you can follow yourself, if you have to.

Did you also run install1-1.php? It puts necessary information on the database.

Did you try to install SimplePortal the easy way, using the Package Manager? If so, what happened when you tried that?

Post by: AngelinaBelle on May 07, 2010, 07:37:35 AM: You are installing SimplePortal the easy way?
This will be a problem if you have already edited them by hand.
In some spots, it will lead to certain simpleportal code being inserted twice.
In other spots, the "find" will fail, and so there will be no problem.

Post by: Nathaniel on May 09, 2010, 05:41:16 PM: Any updates on this issue ranqetwist?

You should try to install via the Package Manager if possible, although you will want to make sure that there aren't any remaining bits of SimplePortal code leftover first.

Post by: ranqetwist on May 23, 2010, 04:22:22 PM: Thanks again for the help :) I'm switching over to smf 2.0 so i'll update you as soon as possible.
Title: Re: My errors :(
Post by: AngelinaBelle on May 24, 2010, 10:59:53 AM: Before upgrading to smf 2.0 RC3, please uninstall mods first. Otherwise, your database has the information that the mods are installed. But the brand-new SMF 2.0RC3 files will not have any of the mods' changes in them.

Even if parts of the uninstall fails -- you should be OK to go through with the unistall because the upgrade will remove all traces of the mod from your files.
