Hi talknaija! Welcome to RCF.

Nightrider, our resident expert on EasyMod, is off line right now and won't be back for several hours. However, soon as he reads your message I'm sure he can and will help you.

In the meantime maybe one of the other members, who are rather good with phpBB also, might jump in and give you some help so check back later.

Again welcome, make yourself at home and feel free to look around and see what all we have. The IMO forum is where all the talking goes on, feel free to read and post as you please.

Hi talknaija! Welcome to RCF. wave

I am not that great with diagnosing easymod installation problems and I am not sure what you mean by the roll back version thing so I don't know that I can help much at this stage but I can try!

What kind of problems are you having? Were you able to complete the install of easymod and now you have errors on your forum? If you have any errors or can explain more what kind of problems you are having or what stage of the install you are at I might be able to get you started until nightrider or someone gets here. sunny

Welcome to RCF talknaija!!! Applause

Whenever you have to reinstall the same version of EM, you have to decrease the EM Version number which is stored in your phpbb_config table. Deleting the two EM tables does not help as you have discovered. So here are 3 different ways to decrease the EM Version number in your phpgg_config table...

EM Version Change

If you have had EM installed before, you need to decrease the EM version number before you can reinstall it. The EM Version number is stored in your phpbb_config table. Here are 3 different ways to decrease EM's Version number...

EM Version Change

Before you can reinstall EM, you need to decrease the EM version number in your phpbb_config table...

EM Version Change Option 1

I created this DB Update file that you can run from your browser. Download and unzip the following file, then upload it to your phpBB root and run it from your browser:

em_db_decrease_version.zip

The path to the unzipped file might look something like this in your browser:

http://yourdomain.com/forum/em_db_decrease_version.php
EM Version Change Option 2

If you already had EM 0.3.0 installed, then you will need to change the EM Version back so that the install will think that this is an Upgrade. You can use this tool to change your EM Version so that you can reinstall EM on your board:

EM_Version_Changer

Once the EM Version Changer is installed, set the EM version to 0.1.13 or 0.2.0...

EM Version Change (Manual Option 3)

If you want to manually change the EM version, you can do so in your phpbb_config table. Just look for the record beginning with EM_version. Then you can change the related field to 0.1.13. You could also delete all the records in the phpbb_config table that begin with EM_ and delete the phpbb_easymod table too to have the new install recreate everything...

phpMyAdmin - Manually Changing the EM Version Number

The following is how you manually modify your EM password using phpMyAdmin. You can get into your database through your CPanel by clicking on phpMyAdmin. Follow the following instructions:

I'm sure that every host is different. I will tell you how I run my queries manually and hopefully it will be close to what you have available to you. The following may or may not be similar to what you have...

Log into your domain Control Panel and find the database icons. You should be able to find the phpMyAdmin icon. Click on it...

Hopefully that will log you into your phpAdmin panel. You may need to provide a username and password...

In the phpMyAdmin panel, click on the Databases hyperlink...

Hopefully that should take you where you can select your database. You may only have one. Select your database hyperlink...

That should open up the display of all the tables in your database. Ignore them. Somewhere on the page, you should see something similar to this:

Click on the phpbb_config table in the Left column navigation bar:

Then on the top left of the right window, click on the Browse button:

Then to display all the records, change the row settings to 500 starting with record 0, then press the Show button:

Scroll down to the EM version field, then click on the little pencil icon next to the record to edit it:

Enter the following into the config_value Value editbox. Any version less than your current version will work...

Code:

0.1.13

Then press the Go button. You should now be able to reinstall EM...

If you are still unclear on how to do this, send me a PM and I can probably reset your EM version for you...

I have rolled back the version of the easymod and wheni go to do the install, it goes up to the point of setting up the password and the i get an error http 404 page

That sounds like one or more of your EM install files are missing. You might try re-uploading EM to your admin/mods folder and try again...

Have done that but now i get the following error

FTP ERROR: connection to localhost:21 failed.

Nightrider · Sep 25, 2004

That sounds like progress...

Rescan Option

Ok, do you see a rescan option at the bottom of this page? If so, click on it. Hopefully on the next page, you will be given the Automcatic Detection option. If so, go with it...
