404 on easymod_install.php

[francoisch]

hello

I downloaded easymod_0.3.0.zip, extracted it into admin/mods/ and uploaded the whole thing onto my PhpBB Forum Web site.

To set up a clean picture, let say that I go to [url]http://my_site/admin/mods/easymod/[/url]: I there see a short list showing easymod_install.php.

Clicking on it, to get it executed, I get a 404 error page.

Needless to say, I tried at first with the straight path, trying to execute the install the usual way.

At the opposite, when I execute easymod.gif on this same path, I get the Easymod logo nicely displayed.

I re-uploaded the install.php file with no result.

Would anyone have an advice to help me out of this nasty situation?

Should I go with another Easymod download?

Thank you in advance for your help.

don't know exactly what you did,

however, this is what you are supposed to do;

unzip the easymod zip file to your computer.

on the server create a folder named mods in your admin folder

yourdomain.com/yourphpbb/admin/mods

upload the complete easymod folder from your computer to the mods folder

yourdomain.com/yourphpbb/admin/mods/easymod

go to the install file;
yourdomain.com/yourphpbb/admin/mods/easymod/easymod_install.php

fill in the blanks.

hello Robert and thank you for your answer.

I did exactly what you describe and I re did it after reading your message since I understand that my question looks like a dumb question, with no result.

As an example, going with http://www.lesaidesauxpersonnes.fr/admi ... asymod.gif displays, as you can test it yourself, the EM logo.

As opposed to http://www.lesaidesauxpersonnes.fr/admi ... nstall.php which triggers a 404 error page.

I am stuck with this nasty problem which I don't understand a thing.

Thank you in advance for your help.

when I click on this:
http://www.lesaidesauxpersonnes.fr/admi ... nstall.php

I get redircted to here:

with the 404 message.

seems like you have some settings issues in your phpbb. let's get that fixed first:

If you still have a problem after following the instructions in the article, please post back with your new cookie settings. (You can copy it from the box in the MOD).

I'm getting the exact same problem...

I can see where the problem is, or what I think might be the problem. When I copy over the install.php file, the file size is different. (the file size on my computer is 65,099 but on the server after being copied is only 63,077) I think it's not getting copied over correctly but I don't know how to fix it. the easymod_display_function file is doing the same thing....

Weird thing. I just joined here because I was going to say that I had the same exact problem. I was going to see if I could load the .gif like the OP when I decided to try easymod_install.php one more time. This time it worked!

I have Wordpress installed in the root of the site, which I thought may be contributing to the problem.

This time around the only difference was that I didn't visit the forum and login to admin first. I went directly to the link which redirected me to the forum login screen. I clicked "Log In" with my Username and Password and it took me straight to the install screen.

I think it may have something to do with cookies and being logged in. Try clearing all cookies and temp files and then try accessing it directly.

Good luck!
