I'm taking off for a few hours, but we can continue this when I return home. I'm sure we can find the cause and correct it. It's a shame that's it's going to make us work for it first...

EasyMod3.0 is meant to be easy to install lol... not sure why you’re having so much trouble with it dontknow

I'm sure Nightrider will help you get this sorted though 8)

Yes, for most, EM installs easily. But there are factors out of EM's control where host settings stand in the way. No matter how many people I've helped, I'm still amazed that I keep seeing new EM install problems...

I don't think you've tried this yet. Change localhost to your FTP address and change the PHP FTP Extensions to No and see what happens...

I got a feeling that that's going to work Wink

Nightrider · Sep 25, 2004

I hope so, but if not, we'll try something else. I've got my fingers crossed...

Errr No.

LOL, sorry boys but that don't work either.

Back to the drawing board!

Ok, let's bypass the EM installer and install it manually then...

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),

);

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...
