Portal XL Home

That procedure is totally right for a fresh installation and approved thousand times. First you need to install the plain portal first before you will be able to install the premod part.

That is the problem DM, the process is producing the error.

I'm having this EXACT same error on a brand new install (installed twice, same error at the exact same point).

Using phpBB 3.0.5 already installed, fresh new copy
Loaded the Portal XL 5.0 Premod and get the error at the exact same point you did. Did you find out if this step is unneccessary on a fresh install or is this an issue?

Just for the sake of clarification:
post3270.html#p3270

Says Plain supports 3.0.5
Says Premod is 3.0.4

1) So the existing Premod will not work with 3.0.5 and could be causing these installation errors during the database update as per instructions? Or Premod does function with a clean install of 3.0.5?

2) DM said above:

First you need to install the plain portal first before you will be able to install the premod part.

I thought this was done during the initial install using the Premod file downloaded, which did work - but this error appears when using the 'Upgrade Premod' tab in the instructions. Just confused here and trying to clarify things in order to find a solution to why this is happening.

I'm having the exatly same problem. Just can't install the premod on a clean installation with phpbb 3.0.5.
Do i have to install it on 3.0.4 phpbb or whats wrong?

Says Premod is 3.0.4

This was a typo in the Plain description, sorry.

Are both of you sure file /config.php is writeable during the installation process?

I've found the culprit.

Open /portal_install/install_upgrade_premod.php

Find:

Code: Select all

            // -- New portal pages
            $sql[] = "INSERT INTO " . PORTAL_CONFIG_TABLE . " (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('portal_pages_page', '1', 0)";
            $sql[] = "INSERT INTO " . PORTAL_CONFIG_TABLE . " (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('portal_pages_page_number', '2', 0)";

Replace With:

Code: Select all

            // -- New portal pages
            //$sql[] = "INSERT INTO " . PORTAL_CONFIG_TABLE . " (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('portal_pages_page', '1', 0)";
            //$sql[] = "INSERT INTO " . PORTAL_CONFIG_TABLE . " (config_name, config_value, is_dynamic) VALUES ('portal_pages_page_number', '2', 0)";

Or just remove those lines entirely. They are duplicated in that file, those config entries are also in the main install script, so when you run the upgrade, it breaks.

Thanks reporting this.
However development on Premod 3.0.5 is closed I decided to update the installation script on this issue.
