Smilies Mod Error (Modsettings.php)

[BloodThirsty229]

When I tried to install the smilies mod I got this error:

Code Select Expand

2: fopen("Sources/ModSettings.php", "w") - Permission denied
(/home/dimensio/public_html/yabbse/Sources/Packages.php ln 339)
I changed somethings around like I had the problem where the custom mod prefrences wouldn't save so I just removed the command that was prevented me. Yet I still get that problem. I also installed the new Subs.php but I doubt that could be a problem.    I've tried what I could and looked on this forum to see if anyone has the same problem but didn't see it. If no one has an answer I'll just back-up MySQL and re-stall YaBB SE

Smily mod had some bugs in it, was never really fixed. Install with caution.

Suggestions on installing mod, Before installing mod backup all source files. This way if you need to fix a problem fast>>> just re-upload the backup file to restore everything back to normal.

I kept a orginal untouched backup that I can upload if I run into a problem, or if I get crazy modding and need to look back at what I changed.

I call my YaBB SE backup, my emegancy YaBB SE first-aid kit! Never no when you need it, but when you do it there to take care of the problem.

Mmmm... if I get this right you just need to chmod your ModSettings.php to 666 and that should fix it. All the .php files in your YaBB directory should be chmoded to 666 and the directories to 777.
