I searched on forums and found this same question but with no answer. I tried installing it with EM and I get this error:

Code: Select all

Function Trace: open_files[5]->modio_open[1]

Could not open [\admin\admin_forums.php] for reading.
MOD script line #187

I have no idea how to get past that lol.

can anyone help?! plz,

make sure that that file has the correct permissions set: chmod 644

make sure that the file is where it is supposed to be and is named correctly.

make sure that your easymod settings are correct for path to the board and for ftp username/password , etc.

Nope didnt work. 644 ruins EasyMod btw. Has to be 777

the only thing that should be set to 777 is your avatars folder and then only if you are going to allow members to upload avatars to your server.

you should never, ever set any of the php files to 777

I am not sure what you are doing, but you are doing something wrong in the way you are installing easymod or something.

EasyMOD files are supposed to be set to 644, or -rw-r--r--
If you have them set to 777, then that poses as a major security threat.

I know I channged them. I still cant install this mod though

The problem is with the MOD install file and not with EasyMOD. The MOD was written and meant to be installed by hand, not with EasyMOD.

FIND (line 187)

Code: Select all

\admin\admin_forums.php

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

admin\admin_forums.php

The backward slash at the beginning should not be there. There are a couple more OPEN statements like that that you will have to fix also.

Still doesnt work, same error. If I were to do this by hand I would scrue somthing up bigtime and its really hard in notepad and dreamweave to find and paste to the right place.

notepad is just about useless, and whatever you do , DO NOT open any of the phpbb files in dreamweaver. If you have , then chances are that you have corrupted them and need to start with clean new files.

as for the errror, it means just what it says, it can not find that file where it is looking for it.

either put it where the MOD is looking for it, or change where the MOD is looking.

it is just as simple as that.
