I'm using XOOPS 2.2.3 (final), and i downloaded the community pack module pack from

https://xoops.org/modules/core/singlefile.php?cid=&lid=98

which includes a copy of news 1.4. i put the news modules in my XOOPS modules directory, i go into the module admin panel and i click the install button for news 1.4 and it gives me this error:

then it looks like news is installed, but when i go to the news page it gives me a bunch of php debug errors that looks like it can't find a bunch of stuff. also, when i go into the admin console, there is no entry for news in the module pull-down menu. I have since deactivated it, and removed it, it looks as though it gets rid of all of the database entries and removes successfully, but then i go to reinstall it and I get the same result. I have since removed it.

I also tried this with news 1.44 downloaded from the modules section here and it does exactly the same thing. can anybody give me any insight as to why i'm having these problems?

FYI i started with a fresh XOOPS install... news was the first thing i started with.

use cpanel to look at your db and make sure all the tables for news have been dropped.

btw, what other modules have you installed? Might another modules with same table name... not sure though.

don (el paso)

i just went back and noted the debug errors for all to see

I just tried dropping my XOOPS database completely, removing all of the files, unzipping the XOOPS archive, installing from scratch, unzipping the modules archive, and installing the news module and it still doesn't work.

I just tried to install AMS and it says it's already installed too... odd... no other modules except for news modules are effected...

i don't get it.

i'm still having problems with this, i can't seem to shake it... and i dseperately need the news module to work... anybody help?
