Step 6) Install/Upgrade CMS -- Install CMS default data - question

[kennethj]

thanks much

was going to ticket support in the am, thought of adding it as a BUG, think read someplace they are looked at more than forum posts, and being code - still will if needed .. .


- same thing happening here, even a new install will not add it, the demo / test site from a bit back was no problems .. .

i think do need the data - if noting else for a quick reference on how it works -
sooner or later may have a hard time finding it here ?.

thought - was going to just skip it and have a demo but then 2 sites to maintain
- did try to add blocks grids and all manually but would not display correctly -
and hell if i could figure out what did what when and how - no reference into the templates vers the grids .. .
- would have been weeks to get it working as answers are slow right now.


thanks again, may get this worked out soon, 2 days off line now - tomorrow is 3.

I was told that they would try to install the default data in. I'm just waiting now. It's weird that only a handful of people are having this issue.

I can tell you, for me, having the default data installed helps speed up the learning curve.

[kennethj]

thanks -- will go do the ticket thing

again thanks .. .

I'm getting an error on a clean install when I try to populate CMS with mock data

Install CMS default data
This will populate your CMS with mock data so that you may have view the CMS in a fully functional state.

After clicking "install," I got this:

Rebuild Style Information

•Default Style ... (Templates) Done.

Done

Now what?

[beishe8]

Now what?

Change /tmp to 777 ?

[roller]

Change /tmp to 777 ?

OK, where? I can't find a tmp folder anywhere. What am I missing?

[davidmoon]

Still no response back ... hmmmm ... Although I'm sure that they are busy catching up from the holidays.

Perhaps you have to create it?

"not allowed to access /tmp/vbupload3ZwFbQ"

[davidmoon]

OK, on my umpteenth time installing from scratch, I'm getting really, really frustrated.

[kennethj]

is not the right way to do this but - worked for me

-> managed to upgrade from 3.8.4pl1 to 4.0pl1 with the default data installed BY : ( from the members area are the upgrades themselves )

first upgrade using vbulletinsuite_4-0-0_Beta_5 -> this installed the data, presents the block for a username

then upgraded vbulletinsuite_4-0-0_Beta_5 to vbulletinsuite_4-0-0_Patch_Level_1


no ideas how or why this worked .. .

thanks again for the assistance .
- should have the site back on line late today, tomorrow
