[solved] FTP local host problem?

[msmith7735]

I looked through all the messages in the old board, but I didn't find anything.

Can someone help with the localhost error problem?

Thanks!

"Could not connect to localhost"

Is that the error you get?

Yes, that's correct.

1) edit the admin_easymod_functions.php file in the admin/mods/easymod directory.
2) search for all the occurances of localhost (there are 3) and replace them with your actual FTP hostname
3) try the EM installation again (if you installed EM a different way then you can reinstall it by looking at the instuctions under step 1 in the Mini FAQ)

Thank you for the above....now for something completely different!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Oh yeah.. cursed edit time-limits! I'm sure Nuttzy will come along and straighten things out.

You guys don't have edit available to you? Some settings definitely need tweaking around here.

And thanks for finding that info GP, I'll add it to the FAQ right now
