Otherwise is all sets to 755 or 777.

Any hint below does not have success.

Have someone some hint for me, how to install easymod with FTP access. Installing easymod with download and copy files is not prefered.

Rescan Option

Ok, do you see a rescan option at the bottom of this page? If so, click on it. Hopefully on the next page, you will be given the Automcatic Detection option. If so, go with it...



If you don't get the Rescan and Automatic Detection option, we need to figure out why EM is struggling with Write access to your directories...

[Culprit]

thnx for quick reply, I will try it witin one hour, and give feedback.

I forgot to write it into first post, offcourse that I have tried "RESCAN" button
but I I become this error:

Any another hint?

Why are all of your file and folder permissions set to 777? That is an extremely dangerous setting that invites hackers to your site. Most of your folder permissions should be set to 755...

If you are unsure what the file permissions were before you modified them, upload a file to your server and check it's permissions. That is what all the rest of your file permissions should be set to. On most servers, the file permissions should be set to 644. If that is not the case on your server, you will need to install a modified version of EM to work on your site...

CHMOD Permissions

Do you have the permissions of the folders set to 755 and the files set to 644? On most boards, the folder permissions must be set to 755 and the file permissions to 644. However on some, such as Awardspace and Lycos, the folder and file permissions MUST BE set to 755. Check some of your other non-EM file and folder permissions to determine what works on your site...

You can probably find instructions on how to do that at the site that provides your FTP application. I'm sure it varies from application to application...

I use SmartFTP. All you need to do is click on a folder or file in the right hand viewer and choose Properties/CHMOD or Alt+Enter



Then you can either enter the value, like 755 or 644, or you can click on the read, write, execute options, which do the same thing...

[Culprit]

Offcourse, on first are allthere 755 and 644. I have tried to change only to allow to install.
Just now I have reverted all permission back to start values.

EM is using only pasiv mode? is any way to use active connection?

[Culprit]

After revert into original permisions

There is no setting to change the mode that EM uses. Passive mode works on most servers, so it should do the same on your's too...

So have you re-attempted the EM install after changing all the permissions back? If so, are you seeing the same error message or something new???

[Culprit]

same error

[Culprit]

I have tried to instal EM from my local machine to FTP access to remote machine.

Debug mode give me no error.
So than I go to install EM from local (XP) to FTP (UNIX). (I know that is incorrect install, but I would like to know where the problem is.)
Everything is OK, only 30s execution timeout.

So there should be some configuration problem on remote machine.

I hope so.

I will do these steps.

1. Install phpbb2 on windows server
2. Install EM - could I install 0.4.0?
3. Prepare all mods on windows server and than copy it into FTP
