OK, so here's how I got the chmod thing to work.

I found out how to use the shell access available in my cpanel and used the commands as listed on the following link. (God, where were these commands a year ago when I needed them for work?!)

Very simple way to chmod entire directory tree for just directories and just files...

Click here --> Recursively chmod directories only



Oh, and the 'content' module works now!!! Yay!!!

Just one more side question for you guys, slightly unrelated.

How do I modify the "Home" page of XOOPS? Do I need another module?

Trying my host's tech support first.

Small annoyance I need to resolve, if possible. My host does not allow me to use chmod on anything but a single filename or folder at a time. No wildcards. (insert explitive here).

I'll get them to reset all the perms for me and if the 'content' module does not work then, I'll try clearing the cache, delete, reinstall as suggested.

Hrmm... reminds me of a song :P (to the tune of "Camptown races")

*singing* Fdisk, Format, Reinstall - doo dah, doo dah

Thank you - that does help and it did show up onscreen.

Now that I've got it installed though - it doesn't work, even though it says it was installed successfully.

I believe the problem lies with the permissions applied upon install. chmod of 600 on "EVERYTHING"

So I'm thinking to myself "WTF"? And there are a ton of files here to change so it will read properly.

The only button I have visible below the listing for the "system" module is 'submit'. There is no install or delete button, or anything else. I can still rename the system module and successfully updated from ver. 1 to ver. 1.02 - but I've hit a brick wall here now.

So I have successfully installed XOOPS 2.0.16 on a shared hosting webserver using a LAMP style setup.

No errors were given during install process.

When I go to the admin menu and select modules, it shows me the "system" module and nothing else. I have uploaded "XOOPS2_mod_content-0.5.zip" to the modules directory.

There is no button or option to install a new module anywhere that I can see.

If I am simply being stupid or blind, please correct me and show me what I must do to get this going.

Also - am I correct in understanding that I can not add content until I have something like this module installed? I did not see anything in the basic install that allows me to add any kind of content.

Need help ASAP.
