Instalation Problem

Having problems installing EM? Let's fix that
Forum rules
DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

Instalation Problem

Post by Javier830 »

I am sorry to post instalation errors here. But the forum did not let me post in the instalation topic. Anyways while installing it gave me the following error.

[code]Error :: Table 'test.forums_easymod' doesn't exist

SQL :: INSERT INTO forums_easymod ( mod_title, mod_file, mod_version, mod_author_handle, mod_author_email, mod_author_name, mod_author_url, mod_description, mod_process_date, mod_phpBB_version, mod_processed_themes, mod_processed_langs, mod_files_edited, mod_tables_added, mod_tables_altered, mod_rows_inserted) VALUES ( 'EasyMOD', 'easymod/easymod_install.php', '0.0.10a', 'Nuttzy', '[email protected]', 'n/a', 'http://www.blizzhackers.com', 'EasyMOD automatically perfoms in seconds which previously required the tedious task of manually editing files.', 1090378447, '2.0.10', 'subSilver', 'english', 0, 1, 0, 1)[/code]

Then this at the debug

I think you might be trying to install an old version.... The latest is 0.0.11a2, and a new one is on the way!

Also make sure that your forum works (i.e. that your database information is correct) before trying to install EasyMOD. 8)

aaah nevermind... found my problem.

The install instructions say to go 744 for the chmod permissions... when 766 is what you need to make it all work properly.

Step 2 (of 5): EasyMOD is now confirming your file access settings.

Testing selected write method
Testing FTP access...
Trying to connect to ftp.members.lycos.co.uk:21 ...
Error : Cannot connect to remote host "ftp.members.lycos.co.uk:21"
Error : fsockopen() ()

FTP ERROR: connection to ftp.members.lycos.co.uk failed.
The FTP Server you have specified could not be connected to. The following is recommended:

Have you tried the default setting of localhost? This should be tried first.
Did you correctly enter the hostname? Try reentering.
Are you sure you have FTP access to the phpBB2 files? Obviously this is a requirement.
Some servers have issues with the fsockopen method that EasyMOD attempts to use by default. If you have the PHP FTP extension loaded, then enable that option in step 1.



This is the problem I am getting, and I can't seem to find a way to solve it. I can connect to the FTP server easily using WS_FTP, but when trying to install it using the easymod_install.php it can't connect. Can anyone help me?

Well, did you try "localhost" for the FTP server name?
