    SMF Mod install.

    Every single time I try to install a modification on my forum
    I get this message.
    "The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable.
    Please try again later."
    But this message pops up when I try to install any mod.
    I really need to install mods. If not the forum will be useless or "cool".
    More info:
    Server: boru

    Re: SMF Mod install.

    Hi,
    I checked your forum.
    The frontend is working fine.Registration etc are fine too.
    Boru server is working normally.So try once again and if you are still facing the problem, then it is not because of the server but the size of the mod is large and uploading and unzipping through SMF back-end might be causing the problem
    A workaround is that in SMF once you hit install, first the file uploads to a directory,it unzips and then installs,
    I suggest that you manually upload the zip file through cPanel to a folder in the site and then unzip and then ask SMF to install from the location.
    Also try with 2 or 3 modules/extensions which are differently sized.
    May be that particular extension was a erroneous one??

    even if you face problems, PM me with the administrator credentials..This is the last case.Try all the above and it should solve the problem.

    Yes.Try it out ..it could work.This happens with most CMSs and Forum scripts not just SMF as the Mods are a bit big and the free hosting has the High Resource usage restrictions.

    You arent able to point at the unzipped folder with the files, in smf. Ugh.
    So what else should I do?
