I have an issue I have installed version 1.2.5.4 and it works fine , but in

Config>Easypopulate

I have only Uploads Directory and none of the other values, but I go into PhpAdmin and all the values are in the database and I can change them in there ok, and import files using the new config that I set in Myphpadmin import ok with the new values, I have removed the records in the database and reinstalled the sql file but I still have the same problem
, could it be a problem with one of my PHP files?

grayceworks :- I have a similar issue that from time to time when import or downloading files the browse resets its self to the logon page, I would question what browse or you using IE, Mozilla, SeaMonkey,Firefox? as I have found it may be your browse try other browsers and see if that makes a difference, it did to me!
Re - your other issue try and give us some examples, as Easypopulate should be connecting to your database as it is only doing sql queries on your database, not someones which I think you are suggesting.
