After installing smf (on mambo 4.5.2) I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: db_error() in /home/doulos/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 234

any ideas?

Ok standalone is working now - when I installed in the same database I named the table prefix the same, both mos_ for mambo and smf, and it messed up. When I named the smf prefix as smf_ the install finished correctly.

I do have some errors on the login but I'll try a new install later today and see if that clears those up. The new errors are in the smf-login and are as follows:

Thanks for the response - I'll keep ya posted.

Ok... started with a fresh install of mambo and SMF. SMF, as a standalone, works fine. Setup SMF-Mambo Integration according to instructions and waalaa... I got this error:

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/SSI.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/doulos:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/doulos/public_html/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/index.php on line 49

Warning: main(/SSI.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/doulos/public_html/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/index.php on line 49

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/SSI.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/doulos/public_html/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/index.php on line 49

Seems like I'm missing this SSI.php file... , but it is in the directory where smf is installed.

I added the code before the /head tag already... I cut and pasted it so there shouldn't be any typos. 

?>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />
<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<?php
global $sc, $context;
if (!defined('SMF')) {
    if (file_exists($mosConfig_absolute_path."/administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php")) {
        require ("administrator/components/com_smf/config.smf.php");
        require ($smf_path."/SSI.php");
    }
}
$sc = &$context['session_id'];
$_SESSION['USER_AGENT'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
?>
</head>

It's probably not writable. Unless there's really something wrong with the code where it's not editing the config. Can you please verify.

I got a lot of time in my hands this week. I don't know about next week though. =D. That's why I wanna fix major issues at least.

1. You need to publish the component as "public"
2. You need to get a better SMF template that suits your website. Go to SMF forums about templates.

try to look more on your settings. how about the module?

I will release a template soon that make use of it. Then maybe you can just base your template from it.
