Fehlerbeschreibung und Nachricht
I did all the board3 modifications (also for german support and subsilver2). After that I called .../forum/install and got this:

Allgemeiner Fehler
Language file ./../language/de/mods/install_portal.php couldn't be opened.

After double checking and making some corrections to the modified files I'm getting the following when I run .../forum/install:

Fatal error: SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]
Table 'db_reksoft2.phpbb_portal_config' doesn't exist [1146]

is there any configuration file which was created by the first faulty install? Can anybody help or advise me what to do? I checked the mod files several times. I guess they are ok...

if a previous install failed,
make sure you delete all DataBase parts again,
since he is not writing it over. (it looks like that is happening)

thats what I thought as well, but there are no additional database tables like phpbb_portal...

or do you want me to delete ALL phpbb_ entries in the database?

[Dr Nick^]

nah that should not do the trick,since thats all phpbb then,
not from portal. but it should create a db, called phpbb_portal_config
since that is what error is saying. so guessing something went wrong before install?

sure connection etc is good with right tables/passes you name it ?

(if you manual create it, i think it still doesnt work, since there needs to be data in it)

[mweiss71]

the phpbb itself worked well before the mod. and when I "unmod" it it worked again well...
in other words: the sql tables where created by phpBB but no additional tables where created by the board.

whats' next?
