Man, guys goes for a cup of coffee and the whole place turns upside down aranoid:


The error message that was in your screen shot that people are getting on the install unfortunately is extremely generic. There are some simple manual steps to get thru the control panel install though.

1. execute '
select * from settinggroup;
'

2. look at the output to make sure there is a 'viPortfolio Settings'. If there is, remember the displayorder and the settinggroupid. If there is not than execute the following:
insert into setting ( title ) values ( 'viPortfolio Settings' );
then start again from step one.

3. execute
select settinggroupid, title from setting order by settinggroupid, title;

You will see over 500 rows scroll by, you are only concerned with the last 10. If the settinggroupid is = 65354 then do the following update
update setting
set settinggroupid = {the settinggroupid from above}
where settinggroupid = 65354;
4. If your last 10 records do not say either 65354 or the settinggroupid you remebered from before than your settings have not been installed. You have to execute the SQL from within the file viPortfolio/database/install_settings.sql. Only run this once as it will add multiple entries. If you had to run install_settings.sql than return to step 3 otherwise go to step 5

5. Once you are sure that you have 10 settings, the first one should be 'Allowed Image Mime Types' than move on to the final steps

6. execute "select max(displayorder) from settinggroup" and remember the results.

7 execute "update settinggroup set displayorder={above displayorder plus one} where title like 'viPortfolio%'


You have completed the control panel options section.
I hope these instructions aren't too bad. Any helpfull critisizm on my manual direction giving would be helpfull also. As we have noticed, the instructions were half of the bugs.
