i get the following

This is the worst case scenario. EasyMOD does not have permission to either create new files or to replace the old files with the new ones. There are several things you can do:

If you have FTP access, then use the FTP option.
Your server has "safe mode" enabled which means EasyMOD cannot automaticly replace your phpBB files. You might consider using chmod or chown to allow access.
You might consider using chmod to allow access. However, this is not advised in a shared server environment.
Otherwise you will have to download the files and then manually move them into place.

Select One:

I'll try using the FTP option. (requires FTP access)
I have now modified my file permissions, try rescanning to see if EasyMOD has access.
I will have to download the files and manually move them into place
I'd like to select something else. (Advanced Mode)

i also have this in the side menu

read access :: OK
write access :: No
root path write :: No
chmod access :: unattempted
unlink access :: unattempted
mkdir access :: unattempted
tmp path write :: OK
FTP extension :: OK
Safe Mode :: OFF
copy access :: No

EM's Debug Information

Could you post the Debug Info that EM creates for you? Click on the Display Debug Info link:

Then copy and paste the Debug Info page here in your message. Do not embed it between code bbcode tags. The Debug Info page is already formatted to display correctly in your message...

Ok, I don't see anything blatantly wrong here but I only took a quick look. I am leaving for the evening and won't return until very early in the morning. I will try to take a closer look at it when I return...

In the mean time, you might try the following and see if it helps. On the EM FTP Login details page, change localhost to your FTP server address and change the PHP FTP Extensions setting to No. Then try the EM install again...

Hopefully that will make a difference. If not, let me know what happened and I will dig deeper into it the next chance I get...

Ok, let's try this. This is what I usually do on sites when I can't successfully complete the EM install with the installer. It's a last ditch attempt when nothing else seemed to work and luckily, this has succeeded more often than not. So it is definitely worth a try...

The following are the instructions for manually moving the EM files to the appropriate destinations in your phpBB folders and added the EM tables and records to your database. After you successfully complete the following steps, you will need to adjust the EM Settings in the ACP MOD Center. I can help you with that if need be once you get to that step...

So do this first...

Manually Installing EM

#
#-----[ COPY ]------------------------------------------------
#
copy easymod/em_includes/*.* to admin/em_includes/*.*
copy easymod/includes/admin_easymod.php.txt to admin/admin_easymod.php
copy easymod/includes/sql/*.* to includes/sql/*.*
copy easymod/languages/lang_easymod_english.php to languages/lang_english/lang_easymod.php
copy easymod/includes/*.tpl to templates/subSilver/admin/*.tpl
copy easymod/includes/emc.gif to templates/subSilver/images/emc.gif
copy easymod/easymod.gif to templates/subSilver/images/easymod.gif

*.* means to move ALL files in the designated folder to the destination folder. *.tpl means to move ONLY files with the tpl extension from the source to the destination folders...

You will want to be careful to rename the lang_easymod_english.php file lang_easymod.php and the admin_easymod.php.txt to admin_easymod.php...

Once you have all the files in the correct destination folders, you would want to update your database. You can download the following file, extract the db_update_easymod.php, then upload ti to your phpBB forum folder and run it from your browser:

db_update_easymod.zip

The path could look something like this in your browser:

Code:

http://yourdomian.com/phpBB2/db_update_easymod.php

Once your database is successfully updated, you can delete the db_update_easymod.zip file from your phpBB forum folder...

If you prefer to manually apply the SQL queries to your database, you can use the following:

Code:

#
#-----[ SQL ]-------------------------------------------------
#
CREATE TABLE phpbb_easymod(
mod_id mediumint(8) NOT NULL auto_increment,
mod_title varchar(255),
mod_file varchar(255),
mod_version varchar(15),
mod_author_handle varchar(25),
mod_author_email varchar(100),
mod_author_name varchar(100),
mod_author_url varchar(100),
mod_description text,
mod_process_date int(11),
mod_phpBB_version varchar(15),
mod_processed_themes varchar(200),
mod_processed_langs varchar(200),
mod_files_edited mediumint(8),
mod_tables_added mediumint(8),
mod_tables_altered mediumint(8),
mod_rows_inserted mediumint(8),
PRIMARY KEY (mod_id)
);

CREATE TABLE phpbb_easymod_processed_files (
  mod_processed_file varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  mod_id mediumint(8) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY mod_processed_file (mod_processed_file),
  KEY mod_id (mod_id)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

INSERT INTO phpbb_easymod (mod_id, mod_title, mod_file, mod_version, mod_author_handle, mod_author_email, mod_author_name, mod_author_url, mod_description, mod_process_date, mod_phpBB_version, mod_processed_themes, mod_processed_langs, mod_files_edited, mod_tables_added, mod_tables_altered, mod_rows_inserted) VALUES (1, 'EasyMOD', 'easymod/easymod_install.php', '0.3.0', 'Nuttzy', 'pktoolkit@blizzhackers.com', 'n/a', 'http://www.blizzhackers.com', 'EasyMOD automatically perfoms in seconds which previously required the tedious task of manually editing files.', 1096879226, '2.0.21', 'subSilver', 'english', 0, 1, 0, 1);

INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_cache', '0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_dir', '');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_host', 'localhost');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_pass', '');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_port', '21');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_type', 'ext');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_ftp_user', '');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_move', 'ftpa');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_password', 'd41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_read', 'server');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_version', '0.3.0');
INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('EM_write', 'ftpb');

Then you would need to go into EM Settings in your ACP MOD Center and adjust the settings to work on your board. We can deal with that when you get to that point...

Good, so all of the settings should already be there. Go into EM Settings and see if all the information is correct...

it seems correct
