Hello guys!,

Everytime i try to install mods like dreamportal or SMFStaff etc, I need to login again and when i login no mod is installed and it keeps on going like that.

PLEASE HELP!!! :(


Sorry for bad english :(

Suki

Welcome to SMF.

There is no need for a poll.

SMF ask you to enter your password as a security measure, you just need to enter your password every once in a while, after you entered it, you  still need to actually install the mod: Package Manager

hmm... actually, Suki, a few people have been complaining about this.   Their SMF is not behaving normally...   it keeps asking for the login in the admin and never completes the action.

Fenz0,

poll removed.
What smf version?
what is your setting for:
local cookies?
subdomain independent cookies?
database driven sessions?

What is your forum URL in the server settings?
What URL are you using to access your forum (specifically, does one of those answers have a www. and the other not have the www?)

Can only recall the FTP login when installing mods when the permissions on folders and files are not set properly !!

chmod 750 your root folder /public_html or /httpdocs depends on your hosting panel (Cpanel / Plesk / DA )
chmod 755 all files and folders underneath

try again afterwards

Hi Fenz0, just so you know, there's a rule here not to bump posts within less than 24 hours.  This is because everybody here is a volunteer and provides support in their own time in between work, family, real life, etc.  The people who can help you may well be either at work or asleep right now, so please be patient and somebody will be along to help you when they are available.

Also, please try to help us to help you by providing as much detail as possible.  Replying "didnt work" doesn't help anybody.

You also can make an screen-shot of the page showing the error you get, if you can not describe it well

Can you upload the image as an attachment here?  Lots of us are wary of following unfamiliar links.

right...


So this is what I explained in my first response.

It's not an error message.
Basically, the session is not being preserved and thus is requiring a new login for every action, even without resolving the previous action.

Cookie settings and session setting are the two main causes for this

it is not an FTP thing
it is not a chmod thing.

I know


And i really need help fast!

Edit:

Kindred

well, that explains it...

you either need local cookies OR subdomain independent cookies.
having BOTH unchecked is causing your problem.
I'd suggest using subdomain independent cookies, unless your server is using zeus.
