Failed install into vb3.6.3.

[ProRauder]

I followed the directions up to and including running http://www.cvmusclecars.com/admincp/...ry_install.php

The browser is blank and IE7 just shows "Done" in the lower left corner and the whole web page is blank. I don't see a starting upgrade or nothing.

I go back to the admincp and now see an entry in the left column that says:

*[vba_gallery]*

Opening this shows a bunch of entries that are mostly in *[something]* with three that look like valid menu choices; Mass Move, Custom Fields and Maintenance.

Clickin on anything in here rewards me with a database error email:

Ok, I've searched your site and see that you left out one critical step in your install instructions. Just where in them was the text that says to use the plugin manager to import the .xml file? I read them again and that is nowhere to be seen.

Now that the [*vba_gallery]* entry is in my admincp, I cannot run the plugin manager!!
Clicking Plugins & Products -> Manage Products just leaves me with a blank form to the right of the menus. Nothing, nada, zip.

How do I import this .xml with a hosed admincp?

At what step in the install instructions -should- this have happened?

More on my problem...

Seems I downloaded the 3.5 version and tried to install it on my VB3.6.3 system.

I just downloaded the new vBGallery for 3.6x and followed all of these instructions and the /admincp/vbgallery_install.php script still does nothing. I have a white screen with nothing in it. I also cannot access the Plugin Manager still.

What do I need to do to remove whatever the older install script did so I can run the new one?

Thanks in advance.

Make sure that the file edit to forums/includes/init.php is last.

This would stop the install and cause errors in the forums as it calls data that is not there. (until after the install).

Edit: You can uninstall the older version by running the installer file and selecting uninstall - if there is a mess in your forums from the old install. The installer takes care of install (including XML file) and uninstall.

If you need more help give a yell or shoot me some access (ftp, AdminCP account) via PM.
