[pentium4]

hi
i want to uninstall em in my forum..
how can i do it..
i dropped all easy mod tables in my database..
and i deleted all easymod files..

because i want to install new phpbb206 ..
but it says

Code: Select all

Critical Error: This version of EM has already been installed. Terminating to prevent reinstallation.

how can i do it?

For a complete unsintallation..

In the DB...
#1 Delete the "phpbb_easymod" table
#2 In the "phpbb_config" table, delete all the "EM_*" entries

In your phpBB directory...
#3 Delete the "admin/mods" & "admin/em_includes" directories
#4 In the "language/lang_english/" directory, delete the "lang_easymod.php" file
#5 In the "templates/subSilver/admin/" directory, delete all the "mod_*.tpl" files
#6 In the "templates/subSilver/images/" directory, delete "emc.gif"

I hope I don't forget anything

In the next version I think I'll have something right on the settings page so people can more easily fix this.

By ET: #5 In the "templates/subSilver/admin/" directory, delete all the "mod_*.tpl" files

Umm would that not remove all other mod files in addtion to EasyMod?

But I've just seen I've forget...
#6 In the "templates/subSilver/images/" directory, delete "emc.gif" & "easymod.gif"

LMAO Hey ET hehe I was just about to post that I was wrong on the mod_ files and that you missed the easymod.gif file

Hey Six,
Could you be more specific about your problem? What is happening when you try to reinstall? It's a good idea to copy and paste any error messages you get.
