I have install EasyMOD with no trouble, in fact it ran very smoothly. The problem is that when i log into the admin panel and click on install mod it goes to error 500, it says the following "[forum.pegasus-outpost.com] [Tue Apr 24 08:20:44 2007] [error] [client [Details Removed For Safety Reasons] Premature end of script headers: admin_easymod.php, referer: http://forum.pegasus-outpost.com/admin/ ... 383d"

Please Help
Dan

Welcome to RCF, danrider!!! Applause

This happens on Awardspace and Lycos sites to name a few. These hosts have different file permission settings than most other hosts. EM by default sets file permissions to 644. But Awardspace and Lycos sites require that the file permissions be set to 755. So I modified the EM to work properly on sites like your's. You will have to decrease the EM Version number in EM Settings in your ACP MOD Center before you can reinstall the following version. Just set the EM Version number at the bottom of the EM Settings page to 0.2.0. Then go ahead and reinstall the following version. If you prefer to manually modify the code, I have included the necessary changes that need to be made for EM to work on your site too...

Awardspace Instructions w/Download

You can download this EM version that I have modified to work on Awardspace sites. The file can be found in the downloads/phpBB/EasyMod section at the top of the page. Make sure that all uploaded file permissions are set to 755:

easymod_awardspace.zip

Here are the instructions for modifying your EM installation files if you choose to do it yourself rather than use the modified EM version that I supplied above:

Awardspace Modifications

Your board requires script file permissions to be set to 755 instead of 644 like most other boards. So even if EM installs correctly, the EM file permissions would be set to 644...

Unfortunately for sites like your's, EM sets the file permissions to 644 when it modifies them. So go into the following files to set all matches of 0644 to 0755 before you install EM:

easymod/em_includes/em_modio.php
easymod/em_includes/em_ftp.php

Also, modify the check_file_scope function in your easymod/includes/admin_easymod.php.txt file by copying and pasting the code:

OPEN
easymod/includes/admin_easymod.php.txt

Ok, you can use one of these three options to decrease the EM Version number in your phpbb_config table. The first option is the easiest and fastest...

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...

This is the first time, and thanks, call me Dan Razz

I have just received this notice:

Nightrider · Sep 25, 2004

That's ironic that they decided to do this just as we were getting ready to fix your problem. Hopefully the maintenance won't take too long...

Nightrider · Sep 25, 2004

It would have been nice if they could have given you an ETA in the email. I guess you were lucky just to get the email...
