Can't install

Post by Conditor »

Your Portal Version: 1.0.0RC3
Your phpBB Type: Standard phpBB3
MODs installed: Yes
Your knowledge: Beginner
Boardlink: http://forum.conditor.be

What have you done before the problem was there?
Installed the baord using the instal file included in the zip file

What have you already tryed to solve the problem?
delete everything :-)

Description and Message
Ok, i tried to isntall this board.

I followed the .xml file included and nothing worked, my forum stayed the same, even after a purche cache

When i tried to delete it i noticed some folders are protected and i couldn't delete those..

Is there somewhere a easy step by step guide on how to install this??

I couldn't acces this btw:
Browse to install_portal/install.php and run the installer, after successfull installation delete the installer.

Thanks in advance

Then you probably didn't upload the files as instructed.
Open an FTP client like Filezilla and connect to your website. After that browse to the part where your phpBB3 forum is located. In the left window, open the root folder of the board3 Portal package.
That's the way it should look now:

Mark everything in the left window and upload it:

Now, you'll just have to do the edits as instructed in the install.xml. As mentioned in the KB, always make backups before editing your files.

I too am having similar problems. I've uploaded the files through Filezilla for the portal.
I've also added the updates to files mentioned in the install.xml file.
Yet when I go to http://www.mydomain/phpbb/install_portal/install.php I get this error.

"PInUp Error
You must be logged in as an admin."

Even if I am logged in as admin, I continue to receive this error.

Any help would be great!

EDIT:

Problem solved, needed new install.php file.
Dowload File: download/file.php?id=103

Hi Marc,

Your explanation with attachments is very helpful.

Am I correct that it could/should also read:
If you follow the above uploading instructions then disregard the "Installation Instructions for 'board3 Portal' Version 1.0.2" having to do with manually FTPing each folder and file listed in File Copy.
  • File Copy

    Copy: root/portal.php
    To: portal.php
    Copy: root/adm/mods/board3_portal_check_version.php
    To: adm/mods/board3_portal_check_version.php
    Copy: root/includes/acp/acp_portal.php
    To: includes/acp/acp_portal.php
If not, then this could be my problem as described here:

I now have Aero Blue 1.2.9 and Board3 portal 1.0.2 installed on our working phpBB 3.0.4 forum. I refreshed the Template, Themes, and Imageset and cleared the caches, everything looks good except that I'm missing the borders aound the Menu and Clock, etc. http://www.comcom121.org/phpBB/portal.php. So close.

I was successful in getting the same configuration to work on a test forum.

Suggestion,

Thanks,

Kerry

Download this: http://www.board3-styles.de/downloads.p ... l&df_id=35

Just follow the instructions stated in the AeroBlue.xml in that zip-package.

After the edits, refresh your theme and template again.

Hi Mark,

That's where I got the last one I tried. It doesn't say on the page what version it is, only when it was last modified 01.02.09. I downloaded it and when I dbl click/right click the xml file I get
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Access is denied. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Users/Kerry/AppData/Local/Temp/Temp1_AeroBlueVunklastmodified01.02....
Other xml files open fine as web pages.

One thing I didn't mention is that from the portal view when I select either Subsilver2 or Prosilver Board Style they both have the borders.

Thanks,

Kerry
