I've read all the mod install stuff. It leaves out one important (very basic item). I download the IPGate_V24 mod, unpacked it, and copied files and directory to my forum directory as the "New Install" in the Read me said. Now the second line in the install doc says:
"Use MOD Setup dbs_ipgate.asp IPGate 2.3.1 Database Setup New Install on the forum admin page to setup the database."
So I went to the forum admin, went to MOD Setup and--there is nothing in the pulldown menue that says:
"Database Setup....Select the Mod from the list below, and press Update! A script will execute to perform the database upgrade."
There's nothing there! So now what? And what's the name of the script? Pretty incomplete instructions. An example in the IPGate install would be nice. Any help for this out there?
Okay, I figured it out. In this mod the db script is in db_IPgate.asp--should have said this in the install doc. When you copy the new files to the forum directory, all the db files are in a separte directory, so of course the MOD can't find the db script. You must copy the db script to the forum directory, then the MOD can find it and the db updates correctly. The install doc does not mention this. If the developer tested this install doc on a new install of the forum, it would not have worked.<
