Hello,
I downloaded the Poll mod v2.0.5 by Davio and attempted to install it. I didn't manually copy-and-paste the mod code into my forum files because my files haven't been edited at all.. they should be exactly like the originals. So, I just extracted the Poll mod files and overwrote my existing files.
I uploaded everything to my web server, opened the Mod Installation option and installed the mod. I deleted the dbs_*.asp files after that.
Then I made sure I ran config.asp (clicked on Check Installation) as the Readme file says. After that I went to the Admin Options again and tried to find any link to configure the poll options. It wasn't there!  I could manually type in admin_poll.asp in the address bar and access the options, but if I changed any and hit Submit, they changed back to default.
It's probably something simple, but I just can't figure it out. Help!
Thanks,
CO |

It might be your site is caching your pages. Meaning you might be accessing an old copy of your forum files, even though you uploaded a newer version.
One way I have found that works around this is, delete the file from your folder, then try accessing it using your browser. You should get a 404 File Not Found error. Then upload the file to your folder and try accessing it.
This method tells the server to delete the cached version of the file, because you deleted the original. When you upload it and access it again, the server should retrieve the latest version.
It's worth a try. Try it with your admin_home.asp file first, before trying it with your config.asp file. Although getting the server to delete the cached version of the config.asp file is a bit trickier. |
