Hello everyone,
Before I begin let me say I am VERY leery of asking questions on a forum due to the knee jerk "use the search feature lazy..." replies I usually get. So before we begin I have used it and read every thread with this issue and still unable to get it to work.
I purchased XF about 3 hours ago and have been unable to get passed this issue: Unable to install a single addon.
Setup:
Fresh install of Xenforo
Only thing installed is a Style which I have disabled at this time (thinking it might be the problem)
Site functions perfectly
I have uploaded the files from the upload directory to the right directory (example library)
Dropped the xml file in the root of the site (my forum is not in a sub directory)
In admin section I go to HOME --> ADD-ONS
Installed Add-ons:
No addons installed yet
+ Install new addon
Install from uploaded file: Choose file -> I select the xml file that was in the zip file OR
Install file from server: I put the path to the xml file here.
Every time it says: The files associated with this add-on could not be found. Please upload them and try again.
I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
I have tried uploading the zip file
creating an uploads directory and putting everything in there. Then pointing the installer to the xml file in that directory.
I know its something simple but I cannot figure this 1 thing out and its almost 4 hours of hell trying to get it to work.
Any tips?
