Need someone to install Automod on my phpBB3 will pay

[naijaping omopoly]

Download that automod mod from phpBB and extract the files to your hard drive.
Use ftp to upload the install/ directory to your phpBB3 root directory and navigate to it.

Does cPanel have a file manager to upload that directory?

[naijaping omopoly]

yes there is a file manager there

[Sniper_E]

Do it!

Some file managers have a java upload for uploading directories and their files.

to be honest, am been oh it for about two week now, that why am asking for help. i never even reach the stage honor reached

Three questions:

Did you download the automod from phpBB and extract all of the files?

Did you get that install/ directory uploaded to your site with File Manager?

Did you navigate to that directory?

How far did you get? Did it have a java upload in your file manager? OK, OK, that's five questions.

I have no clue what cPanel he is using. It is no cPanel i have ever seen, but it acts like it. The file manager is very primative. I couldn't install a folder, only files. So I had to create the directories and then populate them (until I got my CyberDuck FTP working - works on my forum).

My first step was to get both the AutoMod and UMIL packages from .com. Then the first time I went through it, I uploaded each file into the file manager through cPanel. When the script wouldn't work I went and deleted all the directories, got my FTP to work, then tried again with the same result (except that the install file wouldn't actually upload - again, had to create the file and then populate it after).

As I told Na, I've never failed an automod install... this one got me lol

BTW, my FTP access only last 24 hours unless he goes ahead and locks it. I didn't save any passwords here either lol.

That's my side of the story. Not sure if it helps any. But Na, try what he says. Besides - learning to install the automod is the first step to learning to install other things! ((I myself don't use it anymore - I do everything manually))

Edit: Oh btw I was on the outside of the wireless connection at work - my FTP problem could have easily been the connection hiccuping. I just realized that

Honor, you are probably doing everything right.
I have tested some free sites out there and found you can not even get your uploaded files readable to the site.
Some sites have strict permissions and I've run into trouble with those.

I wounder if naijaping has been able to update/upload files with his ftp in the past and everything worked fine.
Have you ever updated anything on your site naijaping? OK, OK, that's six questions now.

[naijaping omopoly]

To be honest, i dont really know whats going on. as its a new board, have not done much on it before apart from uploading logos etc. have not tried mod before. but have uploaded files to the same cpanel before but through wordpress though.
