Problem Having trouble enabling Biomesoplenty

[DaBog]

Im trying to enable a mod in my FTB direwolf20 1.5 server. The mod is biomes o plenty. In the mods folder it reads as a disabled file. I have added BIOMESOP as level type in server properties and in the config [B:"Add Biomes To Default World"=true] is already true. Am i supposed to do something else as well? I dont know how else to enable it?
running on windows 7 64 bit.
Server is of my comp.

The zip file is a .disabled file (BoP.zip.disabled) all you need to do is rename it do BoP.zip now from the looks your on windows without full names on so I would suggest just googling "changing file type windows" and following the steps.

I could have sworn i did this and it didnt work, but it did this time. Thanks for your help.
Much appreciated!

Well windows is stupid in that it removes the '.' file type from the end of known file types so a simple renaming it does nothing as it still has the .disabled at the end of it so you have to edit that part off of it which is why I just suggested google as its from editing a few settings which I don't remember off the top of my head.

I'm having trouble with this. I changed the level type in the server properties, but how do I change the config to have BOP?

Go into the mods folder and find biomes o plenty and make sure it doesn't say disabled. If you are not sure, look at my fist pic. That is what it looks like when disabled. If it does say disabled then follow the steps in this article http://www.mediacollege.com/microsoft/windows/extension-change.html . Once you do, go back to the mods folder and click rename the biomes o plenty file and erase the disabled from its name. now it should work.
My config had biomes o plenty enabled by default, the only issue was the mod was disabled. If you think its also disabled in the configs then go into the "Config" folder and find biomes o plenty. Open it with notepad(i prefer notepad++) and scroll down until you see the same text as my 3rd pic. Make sure it is set to true like in my 3rd pic.

All the pics i am referring to are at the top, in my original post.

Hmm, I did every thing you said (a little easier to change file extensions on a Mac though). I'm still getting an error when starting up the server. It runs fine if I don't enable any disabled mods, but it does it even if I disable BOP but enable other disabled mods. Perhaps I'm missing something I need to do to allow enabled mods?

This sounds different than what my issue was. I never got errors when starting the modpack, i just couldnt get biomesoplenty biomes to generate. I dont have a mac, so i cant really help you on mac issues. Direwolf20 pack only has 1 mod that is disabled, so im not really sure what pack you are trying to run. It could be that they are disabled on your pack because they dont work together. I suggest you post a new topic. Include the modpack name and paste the error code you get. Apart from that your only choice is to keep searching for solutions or use a different pack.
