Problem reinstalling EasyMod

[shaanpk]

Hi,

Ive just moved my forum to a new host and have restored the old database. But now Im having problems reinstalling EasyMod. I get this error "Critical Error: This version of EM has already been installed. Terminating to prevent reinstallation."

Ive also deleted the two easyMod tables from my database. What else do I need to do?

Thank you!

Thanks! I've figured it out myself.

Hi

I am facing the same problem today. How do you do it? Can you advise me?

I've also got the same problem after completely reinstalling my forum. I even deleted the easymod files in the database . Now when I try to install a clean version of EasyMod I keep getting the Critical Error: 'This version of EM has already been installed. Terminating to prevent reinstallation.'

As there aren’t any previous EasyMod files on my web sites server, how do I get a solution to this problem?

By the way, I did check all the folder and file permissions and they are set as Folder-755 and Files-644.

Thanks for your help.

EM Version Change

Before you can reinstall EM, you need to decrease the EM version number stored in your phpbb_config table...

• EM Version Change Option 1
  
  I created this DB Update file that you can run from your browser. Download and unzip the following file, then upload it to your phpBB root and run it from your browser:
  
  em_db_decrease_version.zip
  
  The path to the unzipped file might look something like this in your browser:
  

  Code: Select all

  http://yourdomain.com/forum/em_db_decrease_version.php

• EM Version Change Option 2
  
  If you already had EM 0.3.0 installed, then you will need to change the EM Version back so that the install will think that this is an Upgrade. You can use this tool to change your EM Version so that you can reinstall EM on your board:
  
  EM_Version_Changer
  
  Once the EM Version Changer is installed, set the EM version to 0.1.13 or 0.2.0...
• EM Version Change (Manual Option 3)
  
  If you want to manually change the EM version, you can do so in your phpbb_config table. Just look for the record beginning with EM_version. Then you can change the related field to 0.1.13. You could also delete all the records in the phpbb_config table that begin with EM_ and delete the phpbb_easymod table too to have the new install recreate everything...

HELLO

I installed the easymod change version tool but it dint work i think all i need to do is to fix this

General Error
Could not obtain EasyMod information

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1146 Table 'x.x.phpbb_easymod_processed_files' doesn't exist

SELECT DISTINCT mod_processed_file FROM phpbb_easymod_processed_files

Line : 1083
File : admin_easymod.php

can someone please give me the tables.

It sounds like you didn't complete the EM install. The easiest way to do this is to go ahead and "reinstall" EM. If you want to manually create the EM tables, you can use these SQL queries:

Code: Select all
