modules not appearing in preferences tab

I have had a problem today with newly installed modules not appearing in the administration/preferences tab

Basically the modules appear in the 'Modules' section but not the preferences section.

this may also be tied to a really weird problem I'm having in that MS-weather (which is missing from preferences but is listed in modules) appears in the Site Menu and I can click on it their to bring up the page however If I try to add it to a center or right block to have it displayed permanently it doesn't display at all.

I think this may be related to trying out a whole heap of unspecifiec modules this morning including xhdl2.9 which said upon install eror with database and wince this time I think the new modules didn't install.

is there a way to 'auto fix' database problems.

or for XOOPS to reinstall it's own database?

Cheers,
Dean

Some modules don't actually have a preferences section. The only way to access the set up is to click on the icon for whatever module you want to configure when you're in the main admin section for modules.

None at all, except for the problem you mentioned with xhld may be impacting it, but I don't see why it would.

There's also the slight possibility that permissions weren't given to view the block, but no one would make a mistake like that.

lol, yes I could make a mistake like that but no not in this case.

I think it's something that happened when I installed xhld.

any thoughts on what to do?

I have a complete copy of the apache2 and phpmyadmin but i'm not sure how/what to copy back.

The only problem that I've heard of, but not encountered, with xhld is that it creates a conflict with the xoopsheadline module. According to xhld's developer, xoopsheadline should be uninstalled if you're using xhld.

You mentioned that you'd installed some unspecified modules. Which ones were they?

lol, bigger problems but check out the link if you dare, wondering how these might be related or just bad luck? (or the problem yesterday was a faulty drive about to blow)
