I have in the past installed modules, but am having a problem with two right now.

xt_conteudo Content Module
IMenu

I downloaded xt_conteudo from XOOPS.
I unzipped the contents to a temp directory. This created the structure c:\temp\xt_conteudo\xt_conteudo , where the xoops_version.php was in the second directory. Following the instructures in the doc's, I ftp'd the second directory to my site.

The site structure is:
/xoops/modules/xt_conteudo/ whereby the xoops_version.php is in the xt_conteudo directory.

However, after loggin in as administrator, I don't see xt_conteudo in the module adminstration page. I have logged out several time and hit the refresh screen several times.

the xt_conteudo folder does have atleast Read and Execute permissions.

I am having the same problem with another modules as well.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

after turning on debugging I get the following:

With respect to iMenu...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpdefine() in /home/munyakc/public_html/xoops/modules/iMenu/language/english/modinfo.php on line 1

the php file has this code

<?phpdefine("_IM_IMENU_NAME","iMenu");define("_IM_IMENU_DESC","a nice 'postnuke' like link menu.");?>

I finally removed the module(iMenu) from the module tree. BAMM... all the other modules I was trying to install magically appeared under the module administrators page.

The debugging feature ackbarr pointed out, help end a day of frustration :)

I have been posting about this in the Modules Troubleshooting forum..and unfortunately for me debugging show nothing...but your magical solution gives me an idea...so here's yhe idea..what if I unistall the other installed modules one by one save the admin module? and find which one might be blocking the others?

oooh...I unistalled sections and now it is not in the available to install...will I try another? I have deactivated contact us..but am not game to uninstall it yet...waiting feedback

cheers

The problem I had was with the iMenu module. Not with the XOOPS modules that come preloaded (but not installed)

Before you uninstall the XOOPS modules, I would first uninstall the third-party modules "YOU" downloaded then uploaded to the module directory...such as iMenu.

In my experience, iMenu was the problem. Deleting this sub-directory from the modules directory was my solution.
