Ok I have found out my issue and resolved it. For others here is what I was doing:

I was originally doing this all at work where I'm on Ubuntu on my work computer and I guess FileZilla was not uploading the files correctly; IE:

ASCII vs BINARY

I also updated sourcemod to 1.4.1 as when uploading it before (and even Metamod when setting up a test server) it would crash and I'm sure it was this setting in FileZilla that was messing me up. Make sure your upload method via FTP is set to AUTO.

As for the rest I was receiving spam in my apache log stating the following:

fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource
Filename: Xmpphp/XMLStream.php 
Line Number: 403

This was because it was trying to have it connect to google-talk servers which apparently have a known bug with this plugin. Some people have fixed it by recoding some of XMPPHP's XMLStream and Roster.php files but no one left an actual "How to fix it" guide.

I configured it to use jabber.org's jabber servers via XMPPHP and it worked fine without any issues. I've even added a mail function to send emails to admins who wish to not get an extra IM client.

Let me know if I missed anything on fixing this or if you may need help.

I was doing some testing of my installation of a Team Fortress 2 server under FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE using its Linux compatibility layer. Under FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE amd64, the server crashes when I try to load Kigen Anti-Cheat which requires the Socket extensions. Under FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE amd64, it fires up just fine. And if I remove Kigen from my plugin load under FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE, it also fires up fine, so I suspect the Socket extension as being the culprit here. Not so much the extension itself, but the extension is tickling a system call emulation bug.

What's a good way to get a crash dump so I can do a backtrace so I can inform the FreeBSD developers of what might be going wrong?

Thanks.

So where can I get socket.inc? I have looked but can't seem to find it.

socket_3.0.1.zip\addons\sourcemod\scripting\i nclude\socket.inc

Thanks. Somehow, the first zip file I downloaded did not have that folder in it. I downloaded it again and "voila", there it was.

I'm using the latest linux release of this (with updated sourcemod and metamod) and the provided example.sp creates the file "dl.htm", however it has 0 bytes. No entries in the logs or server console either.
Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I can download files perfectly, but not if I add ?q='blah' at the end. Is this even possible with Socket?

Is there a trick to getting this extension to load? no matter what I try nothing works...

EDIT:

I just tried to force it to load (sm exts load socket & sm exts load socket.ext) in both server.cfg and sourcemod.cfg and it simply wont load

its so sad!

Most extensions only load when there is a plugin that requires them. Socket is one of them.

You can force it to load by creating an empty file named socket.autoload in the extensions directory.
