rename install.data to install.zip

unzip it and upload the files manually.

Then run newinstall.php

I've been doing it that way the entire time because my host max file size limit is 2MB. Thats still an 'automatic' install. I mean manual as in I upload the database files myself (in phpmyadmin), then edit config.php to choose what database to connect to.

---

Absolutely.

1- Extract install.data

2- Just make a copy of config-dist.php to config.php and replace the various values found in "{...}"

3- Import safedump.sql in your database.

4- You will also need to create a new user. After creating that user, in the database, look for the table [prefix]_user and change their mgroup to '2'

5- Come back for more help if it's not working properly after that

I finally got around to trying this, but didnt work. In phpmyadmin when i try to import the sql file it gets to about halfway and the progress bar stops.

So I tried the newinstall.php again. I get to the 'Check Filesystem Setting' and get the following

Create subdirectory of servers/1/templates/ Pass
Change mode of subdirectory Fail
Create subdirectory of servers/1/ Pass
Change mode of subdirectory Fail
Create a file at the install's root level (.) Pass
Change mode of file Fail

So I changed something in the newinstall.php file so i could continue the install, when I finished the install and go to the main page I get another error.(below)

Error type: E_WARNING

Let's hang on to Harmor, it's not everyday that you find people who walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

Interesting. This is the code that tries to read the current server load and your install of PHP is very restrictive -for security reasons obviously- and therefore doesn't like it.

Try this:

In common.php:
Find:

php Code:

if ( file_exists('/proc/loadavg') )

Replace with:

php Code:

if ( @file_exists('/proc/loadavg') )

Let me know if this doesn't help.
-C.

I get this error now.

Error type: E_USER_WARNING
Message: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "main.tpl"
Location: /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/l/o/lomarb/public_html/forums/nbbs/smarty/Smarty.class.php (line: 1083)



Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /hosted/subs/ulmb.com/l/o/lomarb/public_html/forums/nbbs/user.php on line 710

And yes the server is very restrictive, it is a new host that is making everything from scratch.

Cool I like a challenge

Well, are you seeing this error when running the installer?

---

No the only problem i have with the installer is the "change mode of subdirectory" sections failing.

---

I see.
Please try reinstalling using the install script. But prior to this, using your online files manager, change the mode of servers/1/templates/, servers/1/ and . to 777.

---

ok all files are set to 777 and i still get this error when I'm on any page

Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /home/fodbase/public_html/fourms/user.php on line 719

---

OK so the two of you are now seeing this issue.
Siman, I am going to ask you to give me access to your account again; I need to figure out how much stuff this version of php breaks in nbbs' code.

---

I have them set to 777 and i dont get the error now. I get a blank page. So we are getting somewhere :-D

---

ok i let him in he looked at it we chated and the problem is php 5.5.0 brakes compatibility.
