well first i want to say that i'm really impressed by the nice installer and i'm really looking forward to see the results of the mod..

but when i'm at this point (see topictitle) it gives an error (max execution time exceeded) and the solution is below it but i don't really understand that...

where do i get this install_ips.php? it isn't in the rar file... and how to use it, just go to host.com/forum/install_ips.php?

and if that doesnt work the installer sais i should make smaller files and do it by hand, how does that work?

thanks in advance

Master Card, they have addressed this before in the release. SA says he doenst even have the file any more, what it means to make it into a smaller file, is to open the ip-to-country.csv, and take it down to smaller bits, and then save them. then login to you phpmyadmin if you have it, and upload them individually. Make sure you remember to put in the sql command first ;)

Any chance you can give that SQL command away?
Really stuck with this problem, and seems noone has a real answer on how it can be fixed.

Thanks.

play a bit with this line and you might figure it out ;)

$sql="INSERT INTO iptocountry ( `ip_from` , `ip_to` , `country_code2` , `country_code3` , `country_name` ) VALUES ('" . addslashes($data[0]) . "', '" . addslashes($data[1]) . "', '" . addslashes($data[2]) . "', '" . addslashes($data[3]) . "', '" . addslashes($data[4]) . "');";
$DB_site->query($sql);

Thanks for responding. Gonna see if i can figure it out, SQL is not my bright side

I read another thread about the same issue, in that post the starter mention he has something in his tables. But to quote SA:
"The table either contains data or it doesnt it doesnt hold anything else."

What does he mean here? I got a table named "iptocountry". It contains:
ip_from
ip_to
country_code2
country_code3
country_name

And i had it before i tried your line Ike013. Could be the reason i getting errors
Cause your line states: $sql="INSERT INTO iptocountry ( `ip_from` , `ip_to` , `country_code2` , `country_code3` , `country_name` )

Quite useless to insert something i already have :p

Well, the real question i got for this post is no more then:
Is it best to delete the "iptocountry" table before i do anything else?

Thanks.

there is a free class @ phpclasses.org for importing csv files try there ;)

Everything worked out just fine.
Thanks for all the help guys.
