Stupid mod screwing over my forum...

[Darthmaul]

So I tried installing this mod: http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/subjectprefix/
Anyways, it didn't work, got an error on install. I removed all the files and edits, but now whenever I try and go to the mods tab I get an error saying that file isn't there(for the mod I removed), plus, when it was there, it gave me an error! What can I do to get rid of this without actually resetting my phpbb install?

Have you tried clearing the cache?

 

[Darthmaul]

Multiple times, yep.

I think the issue is you have to run the install again to un-install it if you managed to install it that is.

Cause maybe in your sql database phpbb still thinks the mod is present while the code edits in the files are not anymore.

Okay, give me a few minutes to do that<br /><br />-- June 27th, 2012, 12:31 pm --<br /><br />I don't have an option to uninstall unfortunately

I just tried your mod its install and I got before it was really injecting any sql command:

Index name 'phpbb_topics_topic_first_post_id' on table 'phpbb_topics' is too long. The maximum is 30 characters.

I'm assuming that is what you got to?

Do you get that error to when going to the .mods page in your ACP?

Maybe increasing the minimum characters required in a post could do the fix.

Look for what tables the mod inserted into your database and drop them in phpmyadmin.

Let me try that...

Can you access System ----> Administration Control Panel? If so then click .MODs and delete any modules created by this mod. This might fix it.
