This may be a beaten horse, but make sure you uploaded all files correctly, as usually its a file upload / old vs. new file problem with these things.

 

[JadedHeart]

I have gone over and over the files and compared the file sizes, that is how I got to where I am. The earlier errors I encountered went away after I found some files that hadn't uploaded properly, but this one I can't seem to make go away. I will look again in the morning after getting some sleep, sometimes walking away for a while helps me see things that I didn't see before.

That error would indicate that the file doesn't contain the expected contents or doesn't exist. I'm not sure what else it could be.

 

[JadedHeart]

When I was comparing files from the "upload" folder to those on my site, I noticed that some of them were not the same size, so I ran a file compare and they are identical files. How can they be different sizes if they are identical, and is this what may be causing my problem?


EDIT: Okay, I decided to try again and got this:

Error

You have already completed installation. If you wish to reinstall, please delete the file internal_data/install-lock.php.

so I tried to go to the forum and got this:

Fatal error: Class 'XenForo_Route_Prefix' not found in /home/content/61/6404261/html/forum/library/XenForo/Dependencies/Public.php on line 91


Also, what should the permissions be on the php files, on my server they are 0604.

Probably just differences in line break styles (Windows vs Unix).

I don't know your server setup, so that could be an issue. Try 0644.

The system is managing to load some of the classes without a problem (XenForo_Dependencies_Public), so the initial setup is working. I'm really not sure why other files aren't working though.

We haven't actually started using the forum yet, ours is a new company with a new product that we have only released locally so far, so I think I may just start over from scratch. But I would like to hear from you Mike, would it be better just to delete the whole forum directory, delete the database and start from scratch? If so, should I run the setup from beta 2, or should I wait for the next version? I would like to have the forum operational within a month or so, as we will be starting a video contest on YouTube soon to introduce our product, but we still need to make some introductory videos so we have a little time. What do you suggest I do?

And if I do start over, do I just need to delete the database and forum directory or is there more that I need to do?

 

[Mike]

It really just looks like a file issue. If you can give FTP access, I can look into it. Otherwise, you could do a fresh upload into another directory -- however, make sure you bring your data/ and internal_data/ directories across (for avatars and attachments at least).

If you really just want to do a fresh install, you can just delete the directory and go through the install process. It can remove the existing data.

Should I pm you with the ftp info?


EDIT: Okay, I got it to give me the upgrade login page. I logged in and it just takes me to a blank page. Any suggestions? I tried twice and I refreshed the page.

 

[Mike]

Yes please.

 

[JadedHeart]

Did you see the edit I just made to my last post?

 

[Mike]

Heh no. PM me with FTP (and login details for the upgrade script) please.

 

[JadedHeart]

done

 

[JadedHeart]

Thank you Mike, the forum appears to be there now. I guess you figured out what the problem was.

 

[Vladislav Rastrusny]

I wonder what was it?

 

[Mike]

Various files had been uploaded, but they were 0 bytes for some reason. Reuploading them fixed it.

I have the same problem when using Filezilla.
Randomly, when FTPing from PC to server, files are created which are 0 bytes and then Filezilla asks to overwrite them with the actual file.

Very strange.

Filezilla is what I used. Mystery solved.
