Install? How? February 12, 2013, 03:39:13 pm K, so install.php is in the /install folder. So path to installer should be blahblah/install/install.php yes? Doesn't work. Why not?
Re: Install? How? Reply #1 – February 12, 2013, 03:41:40 pm I'm not sure what the plan is or anything. I would think it's going to be changed to either work with the install dir, or upon packaging a release they will be moved to the forum root folder. But just copy install* to the forum root to install for now should work. Same with Settings.php*
Re: Install? How? Reply #2 – February 12, 2013, 03:43:13 pm Yeah I know that after reading the error message, but is still bug. Also needs the deleting script to deal with upgrade.php too (since presumably all the scripts will be in the root folder).The elk is kinda cool though. Sure to drive Basques bonkers.
Re: Install? How? Reply #3 – February 12, 2013, 03:50:26 pm We didn't change the behavior: the package will contain install or upgrade in the root folder, as Brad said.Quote from: Antechinus – February 12, 2013, 03:43:13 pmAlso needs the deleting script to deal with upgrade.php too (since presumably all the scripts will be in the root folder).No, the install package has install scripts, the upgrade package has upgrade scripts.Nothing changed on these, I believe. Should be as expected from SMF.
Re: Install? How? Reply #4 – February 12, 2013, 03:52:25 pm Hey how about deleting the SQL files too?* They may not be all that dangerous, but they're just extra clutter after you've done the installation.*By script, I mean, like upgrade.php.
Re: Install? How? Reply #5 – February 12, 2013, 04:13:15 pm Sure thing, they should have been. Bug, if they don't behave themselves.(well actually it depends on your system, i.e. if they're not writable)
Re: Install? How? Reply #6 – February 12, 2013, 04:22:06 pm Well just tried it on local, and they seemed to be hanging around. Mind you that's Apache on Doze, so may be a bit funny. Should all be writeable though.
