UPDATED feedback

Just now i have removed all previous uploaded individual files and now uploaded entire "UPLOAD" folder using ZIP format and later Extracted as you told u upload entire folder of "upload" . I named my Upload folder as "rbs upload"....unzipped that and deleted zip format file and now have all files and folder with in "rbs upload"

Now the directory path is public_html/rbs upload

Check screen shot...BUT still i cannot see RBS in my VB CP...where i went wrong now, as i uploaded entire folder this time.....

Next ..Manage product=> Add/Import and then Browsed for the product's XML file (product-rbs.xml), and clicked import but i got a message like this "Please upload the files that came with the product before installing or upgrading!

Missing files:

The missing files do not show anything....

Kindly check screen shot and let me know what to do...i uploaded all folders this time...but no use:confused:

Next what about addons folder with in 2.4.2...i ignored it as i was instructed only on "upload" folder and "product's XML file (product-rbs.xml)"

check my screenshot for better understanding and pls guide me experts or coder...thanks:up:

I don't think you'll be able to run your forum using cpanel or any other file manager; you're going to have to learn FTP.

At any rate it looks like you're still uploading to the wrong place. Usually you can just rename the "upload" folder to "forum" (or whatever your forum folder is) and drag and drop it on public_html.

A good beginner guide is at:
DJ's "How To Install Modifications (Mods/Hacks)" for Beginners - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201864

Thanks for your suggestion...yes i need to learn FTP but before that i will try renaming and read your link on How To Install Modifications (Mods/Hacks)" for Beginners

Thanks videx

But i cannot see FORUM folder in public_html?

Then where did you install your forum? Note this mod is for VB4 which by default will install in public_html/forum (I think).

It was installed by VB expert professional install/upgrade not by me ...i can see only public_html/forum.php and that forum.php is file not folder

I installed "upload" folder to public_html so it became like this public_html/upload

In your instance the forum is installed in your root folder, which is "public_html/"

You should be uploading everything to "public_html/" not to "public_html/upload/".

For instance the file and folder structure after uploading should look like:
public_html/admincp
public_html/includes
public_html/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs_wrapper.swf


P.S. This will be how you install all mods in the future also. The "upload" directory for mods is just reference to your default forum directory which for you is the root folder "public_html".

yes i have uploaded everything to public_html/ only but NOT to public_html/upload/

But as seen in screenshots above i uploaded "upload folder" ( renamed as rbs upload) entire thing to public_html/ so finally it looks public_html/rbs upload after uploading "upload folder"

so next i will try like you mentioned like this

public_html/admincp
public_html/includes
public_html/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs_wrapper.swf

BUT after my upload it looked like this

public_html/rbs upload/admincp
public_html/rbs upload/includes
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_banner.php
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_stats.php
public_html/rbs upload/rbs_wrapper.swf

i will again reupload again my upload folder (rbs upload)

Thanks..let u know soon

Just make sure you are selecting to upload the contents within the "upload" directory and not selecting to upload the "upload" directory itself and it should give you the results you need.

Coder replied like this in post # 2460 "You just copied the files without the folders. It is intended to copy the contents of the upload folder to your forum home ... including the folders."

Are you both telling same thing? I will now try to upload the contents within the "upload" directory as you said and check the status...I will update my feedback soon...thx
