PROBRLEM UPDATED:

I installed SMF on my site but then when I try to install a mod, it shows this:




I tried every thing, i dont understand, I put my FTP username and password but it wont work, maybe its the local path to SMF but I dont know what to write.

Plus I even chmod all the files and folder of the mod but it still ask me FTP info.

Please help me

Ok, Its working.

Now when I try to install a mod (modification) like a shoutbox they ask me the same thing. even when I 777'ed all of the file of the shoutbox it still ask me the same thing? What do I do? I searched that and I didnt find an anwser sad.gif

Luke Spragg
It's the same thing JSeb, you have to manually upload the mod and follow it's instructions. You can't use the automatic mod installer.

It's not that much work tongue.gif
If you are testing to see what mods you like, then either just upload a lot of create a local test server on your computer to test them with. Otherwise, it's pretty much just downloading the mod, uploading it via FTP, then activating and installing it via SMF admin panel. Takes a few seconds.

Well, theres only 3 available shoutbox in SMF, I tried the 3 and it wont work. I tried to install them manualy, I failed blush.gif

Why does Zymic cant conect to SMF?
Luke Spragg
SMF works fine, just some PHP functions are disabled so some features will not work correctly in some scripts.

even doing it that way, I still need to connect to FTP because some files also need to be created and there is no way to make them manually.

No, you just need to set the correct permissions using CHMOD so that the folder where it needs to create the file(s) in are writable.

so many different threads with the same problem. he needs ftp in order for the files to automatically be created though...so please post the ftp information your put in (besides the pass) along with the url to your site smile.gif

No you don't need the ftp information to create any files for SMF. The only time you need FTP is to set permissions of select files and uploading mods, but that has to all be done manually in a client or the file manager.
Daisuke_Aurora
he meant that you can;t create the needed files yourself because you don't know what they are.

You don't need to create any files yourself, the script does that AFTER you set the correct permissions for the folders it asks for.

I tried it with the Admin notepad mod, 4 files. They were all 777, in the right spot, but no matter what it asks for the FTP info. If you can either help figure out the FTP info or give me an exact step by step, that'd be great.
wozzym
ftp lets the script access your site and install the needed files...it cant just poof in files with automated code...

Now please refresh my memory. is smf already installed on your site? or still in the installation process? if its installed, what did you put in as your ftp information for the installation? it required it there too. if you dont know phpmyadmin might help...if you understand it tongue.gif which most people dont.

Daisuke_Aurora
It's installed, and I manually made the files 777 myself because I couldn't get it then.

I'll look at the phpmyadmin i guess... any other advice
J-Seb
Ok, ill sumarise:

Im trying to install a mod in SMF but even when I chmod all the files and folder, they still ask me the ftp info.

If only somebody knew exactly what to do. We need to find someone that was able to install a mod and is using zymic.
