SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC2
Default Theme Error After Install - First Time User
After installing SMF 1.1 RC2 in a private, protected directory, the forum opens up in text only mode with the following error (#1) at the top of the page:
The default theme's directory is wrong, please correct it by clicking this text.
After following the link, I then get the following error (#2):
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '%', expecting ')' in /homepages/27/d160833369/htdocs/private/forum/Sources/Themes.php on line 1851
I have no idea what to do. I had tried previously to install the forum at the root (not in a protected private directory). The theme looked fine and I did not get error #1. Whenever I tried to click on the links to modify the theme, however, I did still get error #2. I am puzzled.
Have you installed any mod's? You can use this tool below to check for any potential problems with your paths:
What is repair_settings.php? (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=663)
The second error usually occurs when a file hasn't been uploaded properly. Re-upload that file and make sure it's being uploaded in Binary mode.
