Not testing FTP since it is not being used.

OKay, but um, this is a fresh phpbb it is, old but w/ no tables but the regular tables.. and no edits to phpbb's files.
It is a totaly restored forum but w/o other tables and w/o edited files...
So, I have no clue what has made EM to say it's been installed already... -.-

[green tick]

Also, there is no EM version changer the link is too old..

Go into the config database table.

There are about 5 table entries prefixed with EM. You need to remove those.

I have the exact same situation. I just moved my phpBB forum to a new web host, and restored the database from a backup. EasyMod doesn't show up in my Admin page, but when I try to install it, I get the same error message as the O.P., saying, EasyMod is already installed.

I just used phpMyAdmin to Browse the table phpbb_config. Here's what I see:

I don't see any entries prefixed EM yet. Am I looking in the right place?

[Kevin Clark]

The config table has 3 or 4 pages. That looks like page 1.

[Vik_R]

Thanks, Kevin!

[green tick]

OK, got it ty

[sirflex10]

Sorry for the repost on this topic above I just found this sorry. This is exactly what I am getting too. What do I have to remove to get my Easy Mod back?

[scrapbethy]

Removed those database files and reinstallation of EM worked. Thanks guyz!
