XF 1.1 Add-On ERROR valid callback method

[SDB33]

HELP PLEASE!
I am trying to install an add-on....(I have tried this with MULTIPLE add-ons and get the same result).

I followed the directions:
downloaded the files
unzipped it
uploaded it via FTP to the Public_html
returned to the admin area and clicked "ADD-ONS" > Install Add-On
I selected the .xml from the downloaded folder
hit Install Add-On (screen shot 1)

1.

after hitting the install Add-on...I get this ERROR MESSAGE



What do I put in the "Install from file on Server" field?

presuming it's this add-on you are trying to install: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/amazon-bbcode-media-site.1845/

When you downloaded the .zip and extracted it, have you uploaded the contents of the zip to the correct location?

They should be uploaded into the library folder, so the finished structure should be:

FORUMROOT/library/MediaSites/

I believe so...here is a screen shot.

OK, so you've gone wrong by uploading the whole UPLOAD folder into your public_html

From your signature, your forum is inside the /forum directory. You need to upload the contents of the UPLOAD folder (not that folder itself), to the forum folder.

You should have uploaded it before installing the add-on (that's what is inside the MediaSites folder that is now in the library folder).
