404 errors,help
 

Anytime I try to add a mod,that has extra files, I get 404 error file not found.I have no idea whats wrong.I use filezilla to add the files to the server.Where it says remote site ,I type in public_html/forum.The files appear to upload.But when I add the product xml..,and go to the pages the mods create,I always get a 404 error.I know it is because of something I am doing because I paid someone to add some files and they work just fine.Can anyone explain in detail how to upload mod files to my server using filezilla.I am very new to this so please explain it to me as if I am retarded.Thanks for your help.

A screenshot of the location where you are uploading the files and more info on what plugins and what files from them plugins are being upload. On another note use a space bar when making a post it makes for better reading
here is what it should look like

It sounds like you've pretty much got it - you find the files you want to upload on the left, and the place you want to upload them to on the right. Then drag them over and make sre they appear in the window on the right. If it still doesn't work, it could be that they need to be in a sub-folder and not diretcly in /public_html/forum.

Can you tell us which mod you're trying to add?

Ah It seems I posted this in the wrong place.I have vb4.1.12.Didnt mean to post in vb3.Anyway it seems to do it with any mod.I have tried several.I want to add..Tournaments, Ladders & Leagues Manager v4.x. and gXboxLive - Xbox Live Leaderboard.I get the sme results with both..404 error.If they need to be in a sub folder,which one?Do I create a new folder or use an existing folder.Thanks

OK, I looked at the instructions for the Tournaments and Ladders mod. Here's a few lines out of the middle of the list of files to upload:


The parts I highlighted in red are the subfolder each file goes to, relative to your forum folder. So if your forum folder is /public_html/forum, all the files that go to '/' go to that folder. Then you need to change the ftp remote folder to '/public_html/forum/clientscript' and uplaod all the files that go in '\clientscript\'. Then change to '/public_html/forum/includes' and upload all the ones that go to \includes\, and so on. Does that make sense?

There's also some instructions about setting special permissions on some of the files. You should be able to do that in the right window when you see those files on the server, although I'm not sure how it's done in filezilla. If you can't figure it out let us know.
