Hi,

I have never installed a mod before. But I'm guessin' it work's like this...

Upload the File (SimpleAwards) using FTP to your directory...
forumname/forumtemplate/mod
change the CHMOD Value to 755.
Please tell me if this didn't or did work.

most likely a host configuration problem.

try creating a directory called "temp" inside the Packages folder and chmod it to 777.
