Ok so i am using hostgator and i want to install automod onto my forum
When i add the file to my public_html using file manager (only root) it does not appear and when i go to mydomain.com/phpbb3/install
I get a 404 error?

What's the real address of your site?
Is your board in a folder called /phpbb3?
Hello mate,Kevin Clark wrote:That's why mydomain.com/phpbb3/install gives you a 404 message.
Your site is just in the root and not in a folder called phpbb3.
So you need to upload the autoMOD files that are inside the /root folder of the download and put them in to your public_html folder (the same place that the boards config.php file is located).
If you've done it right, your site will go offline as an /install folder is present on the server.
Then go to
http://www.returnofwilderness.com/install and follow the directions.
I'm really confused mate, i've took a look at that how am i ment to empty the contents itself because when i go to do it just opens another file. like i go to upload it but it opens the file in the root.Kevin Clark wrote:You have to open the zip that you downloaded. Then upload the contents of the root folder that's inside the zip.
