It works, I have installed hundreds and hundreds of vB5 forums using exactly those instructions.
If you are still struggling it may be worth raising a support ticket and asking for it to be assigned to me. I'll obviously need all your server ftp credentials. Pretty sure we can get it working.
I don't doubt you at all and thanks for the offer; I may have to take you up on that.
Interesting development today:
The first problem was
'Warning backend already exists.'
Now, after changing the
3. You need to rename this file:
/config.php.bkp
To:
/config.php
I get this. . .
'Warning frontend already exists.'
All this is a direct result of a fresh upload, changing the
3. You need to rename this file:
/config.php.bkp
To:
/config.php
Then navigating to the install folder, opening the first page where it asks for customer number and enter install.
So all in all, we have gone from the backend existing to now front end existing but site still not existing....
It certainly makes for a more interesting experience.
Could you send me a link for ticket support please?
