Hi
I tried installing jforum using the installer option. The wizard declares the jforum directory to be unwritable if the file __index.redirect does not exist
So i copied the file from 2.1.6 and then i get the below error
INSTALLER OPTION :
-----------------------------
The Installer fails with an exception in the freemarker component.
Expression dateTimeFormat is undefined on line 2, column 29 in default/header.htm. The problematic instruction:
---------- ==> setting datetime_format set to "dateTimeFormat" [on line 2, column 1 in default/header.htm] [on line 2, column 1 in default/header.htm] in include "header.htm" [on line 1, column 1 in default/message.htm] in include "${templateName}/message.htm" [on line 5, column 1 in exception.html] ----------
Java backtrace for programmers: ----------
