The first part of the .xml instructions was executed properly.

$vbulletin->db->hide_errors();
$vbulletin->db->query_write("
	ALTER TABLE`" . TABLE_PREFIX . "ranks`
		ADD rankorder SMALLINT
");

The ranks database was altered to add rankorder.


But the remaining code isn't being executed, or is failing, as the two files: ranks.php and functions_ranks.php; are not being backed up or modified. This leaves me to believe that the (php ?) commands aren't correct (for us), or the permissions on the folders and/or .php files are wrong.

The folders containing ranks.php and functions_ranks.php are set with permissions 755 (rwxr-xr-x) and the .php files are set with permissions 644. I'm 99.999% confident that these are correct.

I understand that you are quite busy at the moment, so I am more than willing to try and debug this installation issue on my own.

When the .xml file is executed, is it PHP that is running the code?
