Forum rules
DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

It is looking for this file:
config_db.inc.php

that file is not part of phpbb or of easymod, so I am not sure why it is looking for it.

there is nothing in easymod that tells it to look for it.
you are doing something very strange here.

what do you mean manually install it? that is the only way to install it.

you create a mods folder inside your phpbb/admin folder,

you upload the easymod folder to that folder;

yourphpbb/admin/mods/easymod

then, in your browser, you go to;
yourdomain.com/yourphpbb/admin/mods/easymod/easymod_install.php

then you will get the install page and you start.

you really should update your version of phpbb.

you are 5 versions out of date and open to any exploits that are out there for that old of a version.
