I started the installation of a second folder of test site using the license key with TESTINTALL in the end . All went find till the database that i received the following message alhough all the input were right

Access denied for user 'xxxx'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Ι mean after all go well with test site if i could do the same for live site . That mean i could use license key for new folder installation .

Many thanks

You would use only one test key, and should indeed use a separate folder. Thats the intention of the test license key.

and if i would like to do the same for the live ? create a separate folder and rename it as existance .

Pleas ensure you are doing a full backup of both files and database before you do this process. As mentioned a few times above, it may be advisable to get someone to assist you in doing this

I wont do anything to live site but to test first . Now in test site i created a second folder with invision files but when i changed the folder name show that need to make installation first again .... and ask  also for a license key that is already be used with the other folder in first place installation . Can use test key for second time for the same domain but for a test folder ? 

I am testing if can create a second folder and just change the name ( rename existing to something else and new with the existing name ) in order to minimize the risk .

Many thanks

You're welcome.

Unless you know exactly what files or folders are missing, I would upload the whole package again and overwrite any existing files and folders.

I can do this though ftp to replace all files but the question is if there is any risk in that process ? 

Many thanks @Gary Ok understand . Is enough to upload the missing applications folders or need to upload whole package ?

Yes, they will be missing as you havent yet uploaded them. 

seem all files are in but doesnt been shown in site . 

I checked the files of the live forum and i noticed that the application missing are in . 

Thanks . I am thinking to do it firstly in test site and then process with the real one .

Go to System>Site Features>Applications and see if converters are listed thee. 

You need to be uploading all files and folders. You should be merging with what you already have. If you are unsure on this, you should really get someone to assist you

yes is there so with converters .... 

the process seems simple . just from manual upload each folder and file . Nothing more . right ? 

in new words need from there 

to upload each folder and file 

Right ?

Many thanks for support .

It depends if you have the converters installed on your site. If you have never done a conversion, then no

As we changed ownership i dont know what did before . How could find out ?

Also I suppose after folders need to upload also single php files . Right ?

Yes. Unzip and then upload the contents of that unzipped folder.

• admin
• api
• applications
• datastore

And so on. Let us know once you're successful. 🙂

great !! Need the pckage to be with converters or not ?

Hi @amd21, you need to download the entire software package as mentioned above.

Client Area -> Manage this purchase -> Download Invision Community

From the screenshot you posted, it looks to be correct, but you need to make sure the other files and folders are also uploaded. When running the installation/update script, you will be able to select which applications you would like to install. If you have installed them all, you can still disable or uninstall them entirely in your AdminCP.

Thanks for reply .

I tryed to upload the whole package as zip file in manual upload from applications ? This is the way or need to do something else ? 

Unzip file?  ( ask for tar file ) Or from different adress? 

I tryed to upload through manual upload the whole package as dowloaded from client area and show me error ( see file ) . What id did wrong and is possible to upload only the missing apps . See the files in zip . 

And where can i find alone and download the missing application for inatall them?

You need to download a full set of the IPB files and upload them to your site. Go back to you were with the applications listen and you’ll see at the bottom a button to install the ones you are missing. 

Thanks for reply . I am sorry i didnt understand . Need to install a full set or IPB or can insall just the missing applications?
