If you're running into that smf problem on install, here's the fix: the smf files have to be dumped in the joomla database not set-up in their own database.

So, on install simply give path to existing Joomla database so the smf install can place its tables there.

This means no new database in sysADmin, only one -- the joom or joomla database that contains both the joomla tables and the smf tables.

I think I'm with you, but before I go uninstalling and reinstalling, can you walk me through that in broad details?

I'm dumping during the SMF installation? Does this mean I should install SMF to the root directory where Joomla is installed?

I do NOT want to blow this one, because I have several days of man hours involved in this site install.

Thanks in advance.

Joey, all you need to make sure you do is install SMF on the SAME database as Joomla. The directory can and SHOULD be different. If your Joomla is on www.mysite.com, then SMF should be in subdirectory, www.mysite.com/smf, or something to that effect.

All this is talking about is making sure you install the SMF on the same database. So, if your Joomla database is ABC with the standard jos_ prefix, then SMF would be in that same ABC database with a different prefix, probably smf_ by default. After that everything should fall right into place. Ricland's reference to a dump was primarily for cases in which you've already installed and are still having issues.

Okay, that's good news and bad news, Gary. Smiley

Good because that's the way I did it. Bad, because that's the way I did it. Yet the Joomla bridge config doesn't recognize an installation. Does this mean I need to move some things around?

If I need to dump on install, I can uninstall SMF and I can uninstall the JoomlaSMF component if I really need to. But I need to know what I should do differently.

I installed SMF from Fantastico, then updated it manually with my FTP client and SMF's upgrade.php component. JoomlaSMF was installed in the usual Joomla fashion.

I need to know where I need to do things differently. Let me know if you need more information.

Wait a minute,if you install smf with Fantastico it gets its own database.

No.

Install Joomla with fantastico, than manually install SMF making sure the SMF tables are intalled in the Joomla database and nowhere else.

The SMF_ prefix thingie will work fine.

That's what I was afraid of.

I'll reinstall SMF and go from there.
