Error description and message
Hi,

I previously had version 1.0.5 on this particular forum, but it was not recognising mod/admin permissions and so I removed all traces of it from the server by reversing everything done on the original install and overwriting modified files with backups of the originals.

I then started a fresh install using gallery version 1.1.4 and now I can't get past the install section!
I can load up the "introduction" page in {forum-root}/install/index.php - but on clicking "proceed to next step", system requirements, I am met with

Fatal error: Call to undefined function phpbb_is_writable() in /home/fhlinux134/u/ukastle.co.uk/user/htdocs/discussion/includes/gallery/url.php on line 214

and cannot continue with the install.

I have tried overwriting {forum-root}/includes/gallery/url.php with a version of the file from gallery version 1.1.3 in case the file was wrong, but am still getting the same error.

It's taken me 3 hours to get to this stage, so now it's quite annoying that this has been thrown up in the last stages of installation.

Seems like you do not have phpBB 3.0.9

[mazeteam]

Ah yes... 3.0.5 actually.
I couldn't see the 'requirements' page for the gallery installation, because it was that page which threw up the error!

Which version of the gallery is suitable for phpbb 3.0.5?
thanks.

You chould just update phpBB insteadof installing a old gallery

[mazeteam]

That won't be possible at the moment, as it'll cause too much inconvenience to take the forum out just when it is becoming quite popular. I am also waiting for phpbb to release either version 3.2 or version 4 of the phpbb before updating... if I'm going to take the forum out to update, I'm only going to do it if it brings proper benefits noticeable to every member, not just to change a number fro 3.0.5 to 3.0.9! This is the same reason I have not updated the gallery software until now.

[mazeteam]

Soooo... what version of the Gallery software is suitable for phpbb 3.0.5??

[nickvergessen]

Updating a forum takes 1 night or something like that. phpBB 3.2 and 4 are years away.

I don't know which version works with 3.0.5 You will need to try it yourself.
