Hi,
I posted the following over in the old Area51 forum but was told to post it here instead. Can anyone help me out?

Hi,
I'm stuck in a loop trying to install easyMOD.
I have uploaded the installation files to my webserver and gone to http://www.etc.../admin/mods/easymod/easymod_install.php as instructed here: http://easymod.sourceforge.net/readme/
As I use FTP to access my server I have selected the first option, I have FTP access to my phpBB files on the server and clicked Submit.
On the next page I have entered the route to my phpBB2 folder, in this case: /httpdocs/hr/phpBB2
I have also entered my FTP username, Password and FTP server as I do when I connect to my server using Dreamweaver or FileZilla.
I have left all other settings alone and clicked Submit.
Next I am asked for a password & confirmation password - am I right in assuming this is a password I am making up to password easyMOD or does it have to be the same password as my phpBB2 admin account, or my FTP password? Either way I have tried all 3 and I get the same result everytime. I just get an internet explorer 'Page cannot be displayed' dialogue.
If I click reload I am taking right back to the start again.
If anyone could help me out with where I am going wrong that would be great because as I'm sure you have probably figured out I'm new to all this. I thought installing easyMOD was supposed to make it easier for me to install other mods but I can't even get this one installed!
Thanks in advance |

Hi! Welcome to RCF. 
I am not the best when it comes to helping with easyMOD problems, but one thing you wrote stuck out at me.

I want to say that you would want to only put /phpBB2 in that spot, and not the /httpdocs/hr/
when you visit your forum, is it www.yoursite.com/phpBB2 ? or www.yoursite.com/hr/phpBB2 ? Whatever is after your .com is what I think you will need in that spot.
Nightrider is the man when it comes to easyMOD, so he will know for sure and I might be totally off, but in the mean time if you are waiting you might want to try changing that setting.
You've come to the right place for easyMOD help!! I hope you enoy yourself here  |

Welcome to RCF fizzfozz!!! 
Looping Login Problem
What is the Cookie path in General Admin Configuration in your ACP? If it isn't set to / you might want to try it. Changing this setting will force all of your members to have to clear the cookies to your board in their browsers...
If that doesn't work, then you can edit your easymod_install.php file and remove the following section, which causes more harm than good:
| Code:
|
//
// Only administrators here, please
//
if( !$userdata['session_logged_in'] )
{
redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=admin/mods/easymod/easymod _install.$phpEx", true));
}
if( $userdata['user_level'] != ADMIN )
{
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $lang['Not_admin']);
}
|
Let me know how it goes...

No sorry that hasn't made any difference...

I'm confused...? The problem is with installing easyMOD - my board is working fine, users can log in there no problems. |

Fizzfozz, the path that you were using to your board was probably correct. Every server layout is different, so the path varies greatly from server to server. So go ahead and try httpdocs/hr/phpBB2 for the path to your board...
The problem with the cookies wouldn't adversely affect your board, but it can adversely affect EM. So the easiest option is to correct the cookie path if it is wrong. The path to the cookie should be / and nothing else. If you have to change it, then you and your members will have to clear the cookies to your forum in their browsers too. You can also use this MOD to correct the cookie path if you want. My instructions will do the same as this MOD though:
[2.0.18] Auto Cookies
If that is not your problem, then simply removing the offending code in the easymod_install.php file will correct the problem once and for all. There really isn't any good reason to check for admin and login status when installing EM. I think it was a mistake when they added that code to the install script since it has needlessly caused a lot problems on sites like your's...
So try fixing the cookie setting first. You might as well have it set correctly anyway. And if that isn't the problem, just remove the code that I mentioned above from the easymod_install.php file...
