Hi there! Wonderfull stuff this, only i cant get it to work. I tried it 2 times but still no succes. Maybe you know what im doing wrong over here.

I succesfully installed the Arcade but when i try to install the Gallery i get the following error:
Language file gallery_install.php couldn't be opened.
I CHMODDED it to 755 and 777 but both without any succes.
Then i reuploaded my backup and did another try, same error.

I hope you now how to help me out with it.

Thanks in regard!

Have you uploaded the whole gallery install folder. The whole install needs uploading not just the file.

If you are converting over and all the fils are there complete on the server, there's a chance your browser/forum is still running as old. Make sure you purge cache in ACP and/or open /cache folder via ftp and delete everything but the htaccess.

Have you still got the original config file from your forum in place? I know it's a silly question but you said you uploaded everything but config?

Just to note, these are instructions from the older 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 versions.

These won't work with the new 1.0.5.

I have a forum that was running Version 3.0.0 Stock Version. I currently downloaded the latest beta of your modphpbb3 project and installed it over my old stock version. When I did so everything was deleted such as posts, users, etc. I was lucky enough to have made a backup before hand. I am wanting to keep all my posts, users and stuff but upgrade to your modded version 3.0.4, I tried just adding the users by sql queries but I kept getting an error. I was going to do the same thing for the posts and forums. I now have like 4 or 5 database backups. For some reason my controlpanel isnt wanting to load the sql files because they are so big or something. I also have an auction "phpprobid" running that integrates with the forums so I cant lose that info either. I was going to try the upgrade but I didnt get it working. Im gonna try again later today as its 1:33am and im sleepy. Would their be a way to install the modded version and just import my users, posts, and forums? I can set the rest back up myself.
