You can use this Awardspace version that I created. It works for Lycos sites too...

Awardspace Instructions w/Download

You can download this EM version that I have modified to work on Awardspace sites. The file can be found in the downloads/phpBB/EasyMod section at the top of the page. Make sure that all uploaded file permissions are set to 755:

easymod_awardspace.zip

Here are the instructions for modifying your EM installation files if you choose to do it yourself rather than use the modified EM version that I supplied above:

Awardspace Modifications

Your board requires script file permissions to be set to 755 instead of 644 like most other boards. So even if EM installs correctly, the EM file permissions would be set to 644...

Unfortunately for sites like your's, EM sets the file permissions to 644 when it modifies them. So go into the following files to set all matches of 0644 to 0755 before you install EM:

1. easymod/em_includes/em_modio.php
   
2. easymod/em_includes/em_ftp.php

Also, modify the check_file_scope function in your easymod/includes/admin_easymod.php.txt file by copying and pasting the code:

OPEN
easymod/includes/admin_easymod.php.txt

FIND

Code: Select all

if( !@file_exists(phpbb_realpath($filename)) || !strstr(phpbb_realpath($filename), phpbb_realpath($expected_scope)) )

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

//if( !@file_exists(phpbb_realpath($filename)) || !strstr(phpbb_realpath($filename), phpbb_realpath($expected_scope)) )
   if( !@file_exists(phpbb_realpath($filename)) )

The check_file_scope function should now look like this:

Code: Select all

function check_file_scope($filename, $expected_scope, $simply_die = false)
{
   global $db, $lang;

   // make sure a file is located somewhere inside the specified directory
   //if( !@file_exists(phpbb_realpath($filename)) || !strstr(phpbb_realpath($filename), phpbb_realpath($expected_scope)) )
   if( !@file_exists(phpbb_realpath($filename)) )
   {
      $message = sprintf($lang['EM_modio_open_read'], $filename);
      if( $simply_die )
      {
         $db->sql_close();
         die($message);
      }
      message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, $message);
   }
}


Save all the modified files and upload them to their proper sub-folders in the admin/mods/easymod folder. Then go ahead and try the EM install again...

Do you have a link to the MOD topic and download???

I imagine that the MOD author included a DB Update file that needs to be uploaded to your phpBB folder and run from your browser. They typically include the instructions in the Author's Notes, a DIY INSTRUCTIONS section, or in a Readme.txt file. So review the MOD script and try to see what the MOD author suggests. If you need help figuring it out, I will need to see a copy of the MOD...

there is the download , tomorrow i will look at the files

[Nightrider]

Ok, it looks like you ignored the SQL Processing error caused by the AFTER post_time command in the ALTER TABLE query. So EM probably successfully ran the first two INSERT INTO queries but not the last two SQL queries...

The MOD author did include a DB Update file that you can upload to your phpBB folder root and run from your browser. Here is what the MOD author stated in the Author's notes section:

Author Notes:

Put "advanced_posts_merging_db_ins.php" into your phpBB root directory and run it after mod installation, then delete it. Don't forget to configure mod after installation, feature is disabled by default.

The path for the db update file in your browser could look something like this:

Code: Select all

http://yourdomain.com/phpBB2/advanced_posts_merging_db_ins.php

You should get in the habit of reading the Author's notes before installing all future MODs. That could prevent problems like this...
