Make sure you follow the installation instructions at
https://mods-for-hesk.mkochcs.com/download.php. If you continue to have issues, turn on debug mode in HESK so error text should hopefully appear on screen.

Wait, did you install HESK first before copying over the Mods for HESK files? You must install HESK first before installing Mods for HESK.

1. Install HESK, delete /install folder
2. Download Mods for HESK, copy and paste contents into your helpdesk folder. You should be prompted to overwrite many files and directories.
3. Navigate to http://<path to helpdesk>/install/mods-for-hesk/modsForHesk.php
Hopefully that will help a bit more

ok, getting error
modsForHesk_settings.inc.php CHMOD to 0666, yours is 0
You cannot install/upgrade Mods for HESK until the requirements on the left have been met.

Whoops. I forgot to mention that the modsForHesk_settings.inc.php file is missing from the latest release. You can download the file at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mkoch ... gs.inc.php (right-click and select "Save Link As...") and save it as "modsForHesk_settings.inc.php". Place that file in the same directory as "hesk_settings.inc.php".

The error message is correct. CHMOD your modsForHesk_settings.inc.php file to 666, since yours is 640. Mods for HESK needs to be able to write to that file during install.

What doesn't work? Does the CHMOD operation not work? Does something else not work? Please clarify.

Turn on debug mode by going to hesk_settings.inc.php and setting $hesk_settings['debug_mode'] to 1. Post the SQL in error here.
