A friend had a problem installing SP 2.3.1 on a PC test site that should have required no chmoding at all.

His solution was to change the package-info.xml, after doing this the installation went smoothly.

I'm not suggesting anyone try this here!!! I'm sharing this so it can be reviewed as a possible solution for some install problems. I hope this can help in some fashion.

The edits to the the package-info.xml were as follows.

This

Code Select Expand

   <require-dir name="sp" destination="$imagesdir" />
      <require-dir name="admin" destination="$imagesdir" />

To this

Code Select Expand

<require-dir name="sp" destination="$themedir/images" />
      <require-dir name="admin" destination="$themedir/images" />

I hope this is in some way useful.

$imagedir should exist in both SMF 1.1 and SMF 2.0

$imagedir should exist in both SMF 1.1 and SMF 2.0

I'm reasonably sure the SMF version was 2.0 RC2.

I'm no coder!!! I'm just passing along some info that was given to me by another who is much more technically adept than myself in hopes it may help in some fashion.

This being an open source community type project I feel a sense of social obligation not just to take and take but to share whatever I learn as well.

Anyhow, this may or may not help but at least I gave it a shot

$imagedir does exist in SMF 1.1 and SMF 2, there is no reason why SimplePortal shouldn't work with $imagedir.

Marking this as solved.
