Error when running install.php

[hewitt]

Hi,

I just want to upgrade my portal from 1.22 to the 1.0rc1. Although I can get to the install page, however when I select Yes to update to 1.0rc1, it give me this message:

PInUp Error
You must be logged in as an admin.
Go to login

Even tried to enter my id in the end of the link (&sid=12345.....) it just loop back and giving the same error. Please help?

Do you have any idea? is this a bug?

Please try this:

• If you receive a error while trying to install the portal, that you have to be logged in as founder / Admin, please search in root/install_portal/install.php for:

  Code: Select all

  	 if( $user->data['is_registered'] && $auth->acl_get('a_board') )
   	  	 {

  and

  Code: Select all

  } else {
   	  	         include($phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/style/layout_header.'.$phpEx);
   	  	         echo '<h1>' . $user->lang['INSTALLER_ERROR'] . '</h1>';
   	  	         echo '<p>' . $user->lang['INSTALLER_NEEDS_ADMIN'] . '</p>';
   	  	         include($phpbb_root_path . 'install_portal/style/layout_footer.'.$phpEx);
   	  	 }

  and delete the code

Please let me know if it helped.

Thanks Kevin,

Yes, it worked! I can run the update successfully.

However, now I get another error. I cannot get the portal display. it give me this message:

General Error
Language file portal.php couldn't be opened.

Any idea?

Thanks

If you are using a non-english language and there is not a portal language file for you yet you have to place the language/en/mods/portal_* files into language/<your language>/mods/portal_*. And if you're feeling really nice, translate the portal.

I copied those files as you said, but it doesn't work. still the same error.

Although I've other languages folder there, but I am not use it at the moment. And yes, when I can get this one running and when I have time. I will translate and give you those files.

I think the problem is it still request the portal.php files from language/en/ and language/en/acp/ folders, which are from the old MOD. When I replace these files, there is no error but the portal did not look right. So, it must be somewhere still using/requesting the old files. Do you have any idea?

[Kevin]

Have you done the changes from the instructions in the contrib/update_phpbb3portal_122.xml file?
You can see in this instruction what have to be removed from the old portal.

[hewitt]

Yes, I followed the instructions in the contrib/update_phpbb3portal_122.xml file.

[hewitt]

Oh silly me, my apologies, I followed all the instruction and copied all the files but forgot to copy the portal.php to the root. it is still using the old portal.php file. so once I copied and overwrote it .it now run correctly. Sorry to mess thing up and thank you all for your support.

cheers.
