Importing Product, Please Wait...

And just sits there.. my host says the servers not timing out and there's only a limit on the memory usage of scripts.. I don't see why it won't go. I can't install ANY version of this mod now, was working up until 2.6.0 for me.. =\

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but where do i set how many teams a person can create?

Im looking in vBulletin Options > Tournament Options but cant see a setting to control that....or is a person only allowed to create one team by default?

Thanks in advance

It is set by Usergroup.




What do i do with this..? (what does "CHMOD 777" mean.?)

Directory teamlogos should be CHMOD 777

I uploaded everything & it looks fine now, but what does that term mean.?
Thanks


Also, I got a simple question..
What is the difference between the 2 Tournament Modes:
Last Man Standing and Single Elimination.. They sound the same to me..!?

That makes that directory writable so the mod can upload team logos (images) to it.

You can set that folders permissions via ftp programs like Mozillas FTP Client. You select the folder when you have connected via ftp, and set the permissions by entering 777.
