Here's the full instructions:
Upload - Upload the contents of the /mod_install and /sources directories to your forum's root directory, being sure to keep the directory structure intact. This should put a file called index.html in your forum's /mod_install directory, and a file called umi.php in your forum's /sources/components_acp directory.
Delete - Check and see if you have a file named index.php, or a folder called /images in your forum's /mod_install directory. These could be left over from previous versions of this script. If either of these exist on your site, delete them. In addition, any XML and PHP files in this /mod_install directory from a previous IPB version can be safely deleted as well.
CHMOD - Ensure that the CHMOD on your /mod_install folder is set to 755. Any files contained in this folders can be CHMOD 644.
Install - Log in to your board's Admin CP, and on the Admin tab, click the Components -> Manage Components menu link. At the bottom of this page will be a box labeled 'Import XML Component File'. Use the first option there to browse to the ipd_components.xml file included in this folder and click the Import button.
Settings - Go to the Components tab and look for the Manage Settings link in the (FSY23) Universal Mod Installer section. From here you can adjust a few settings for this mod. You may need to turn some features off from here if features in the installer cause problems.
Install your mods! - These steps have added the script as a new component on your board, and it shows up on the Components tab. Now, for each of your mods that use this installer, you can use this component to install the mods (the individual mods explain this process in more depth).
So I haven't even gotten past step one
Why?
Because I do what they say, I upload the contents (just two files) of the folders, into my Forum's root directory (/), and and it doesn't work (I've tried a ton of other places, directories, to upload them to also, doesn't work), there is not "mod_install" directory anywhere, and the files just stay where I uploaded them. Can anyone tell me what to do? I have to be doing something wrong
I'll give you a step-by-step routine of what I've basically been doing
1. Read step one, make sure I've got it right
2. Upload the two files (because that's all there is) into my root directory (root/) and other directories when that didn't work
3. Nothing works, and I see that there is no "mod_install" directory anywhere
4. I read instructions again, don't see anything wrong with what I'm doing.
HELP
I'm working with IPB 2.3.5 by the way.
