Zip File is empty?

[Ohiosweetheart]

I upgraded to vb 3.5.4 and now get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/exquisi/public_html/forums/portal.php on line 35


help??

I just downloaded the zip file but when I opened it to extract... it was empty. Any suggestions??The two biggest reasons that issue occurs is either when (a) the person is using a Mac or (b) the ZIP client the person is using doesn't like the file.

If you're on a Mac or a Linux PC, try the "tar" format instead of the "zip" format in the drop down menu. If you're on a Windows PC try either a different ZIP client (like WinZip on WinRAR) or the built-in ZIP client that comes with Windows XP.

help??Make sure that your plugins are turned on and if they are then check the cmps_index.php to make sure you updated the $forumpath variable.

ooooook, they are and I didn't.... how would I go about doing that? Based upon what you've posted above edit your cmps_index.php and replace this line...$forumpath = '';... with this instead:$forumpath = '/home/exquisi/public_html/forums';

I use Windows XP, a pc and Winzip, lol. so I'll try to find window's zip client and use it

thank you for the help Kevin... but guess what? I can't even FIND the cmps_index.php file. Incredible... I was USING the portal up to the day I upgraded to 3.5.4! Could it have been deleted somewhere in the upgrade process? I only have the portal.php file

[Ohiosweetheart]

grrrrrrrr... I tried to use the windows xp zip feature but when I click on download, winzip automatically comes up, I don't have a choice.

[KW802]

You may have renamed cmps_index.php to just index.php or similar name in your root folder.

[Ohiosweetheart]

um, no, I didn't. I looked in there and that is as it should be. There's only a portal.php file.
Well now I'm really screwed, lol. I guess I need to delete all the files and start all over again?

[KW802]

Let's slow down.... :p

The file that is giving you the error is called "portal.php"? If so, take a look inside of it to see if that is really "cmps_index.php" but renamed. If it is find the line with $forumpath on it and make sure it's correct.

We'll start there.

[Ohiosweetheart]

lol... ok.... this is what's inside my portal.php file:

if this is wrong, how'd it work before?? LOL.... leave it to me....

[Ozzie]

That's the original cmps_index.php file. Just rename it from portal.php to that.

Also, remove the / from the end of your path statement. Should be chdir('/home/exquisi/public_html/forums');

[Ohiosweetheart]

ahhh... it's been portal.php all along, but I'll rename it to cmps_index.php........ right?
and remove the /......... check...


reuploaded it and............ still nothing

if I point the browser to http://exquisitelyerotic.net/forums/portal.php I get a page cannot be found error
if I point it to http://exquisitelyerotic.net/forums/cmps_index.php I get the same long error above

Call to undefined function: print_portal_output() in /home/exquisi/public_html/forums/cmps_index.php on line 35

OK, now that we know you have it out there... try running {yoursite}/forums/admincp/vbacmps_install.php and if that loads anything choose the "upgrade" option and then try the loading the "portal.php" page again.

[Ohiosweetheart]

tried... no that didn't load a thing. got a 404 not found error

[Ohiosweetheart]

thanks for your help everyone! I never did get it fixed, and never could get d/l the zip file, so someone sent it to me. It's now up and running great with the exception of a problem module, which I've posted about in a new thread ;)
