When i am trying to install amodule i get the following message: Failed to open file (i think that referes to "http://xxx/modules/system/admin.php" because this is the current url in address bar in IE.
Then is says that module installed successfully and message "Unable to write to main menu."

The issue here is that the icon of the module is not diplayed in the menu in the left side with the other icons.

Keep in mind that cache. templates_c and upload directory is set to 777 permissions..

thanx for your time...

Re: Failed to open file - Unable to write to main menu.

the cache directory cannot be written to by the webserver.

Why this is, I don't know, if the directory does have 777 permissions.
Perhaps contact your host to know if there is something special?

i moved my site (to the same web server) from
directory www/xoops/....
to www/ *by copying all files to the www directory)
and then i changed the mainfile.php...

everything seem to run properly except the problem with the modules.


do u think that the problem has to do with this?

Double-check that the cache directory really IS writeable by the server.

the file adminmenu.php inside cache folder has permissions:
-rw-r--r--

is that correct?

No, it should be rw-rw-rw (on most usual configurations)
