Module does not exist?

i installed the basic 2.05 package from ensim panel offered in their power tools section. (given to me from my isp). But couldn't see anything because the domain is not pointed to me yet ( trying not to have any down time in the transfer). So my isp did something so I could begin editing content and installing extra modules. I can now get into the site and use admin. I installed successfully several modules but when I tried to post a news article it said that module does not exist. I set NEWS to come up as my home page. Created several titles but nothing displays on the home page except that message "Module does not exist". I updated module and still nothing...so I installed Content manager and disabled News. It says content installed correctly but still get the same message when trying to post a story from the content manager.
HELP! I KNOW NO PHP BUT AM WILLING TO LEARN.

In your administration/system/preferences/general preferences make sure you YES for update template/theme.html and then scroll down to bottom and click GO.
No go to your administration/system/modules and update the system module on the icon to the right.

Hope this works for you.

Did that, still does not work. I have reset the module in admin, reapplied my preferences. I have even changed my block for my start page to see if that is the problem, nope! Every other module will function as my start page just fine. Also, If I have another module as my start page, clicking on content still give me the "module does not exist. I have tried uninstalling module and reinstalling module to no avail. Help!!

Try this http://207.36.196.94/clippersswim.org/xoops/modules/news/admin/index.php?op=topicsmanager
Don't know if it will work for you as the dns is not pointed to this ste yet.

Ah, I would say that is the problem, you may need to wait till your domain name is setup before the site will work properly.

I think you have mainfile.php setup as:

http://207.36.196.94/clippersswim.org

but I think XOOPS will have a problem with this address.

why is it only affecting that one module? I know this is a back door approach to seeing and adjusting what is in a folder.
But I can see and add things to the other modules just fine. I can admin the entire site including doing admin services to the content module, ie. Re-arrange the order that the different modules display in a block (admin portion of content module)! I can set permissions, etc. When clicking on the content button on the left on the front page or any other page I still get that darn message.

Ok - may be wrong with this, but it looks like it may be the classic "module in the wrong directory" problem.

Let's say the module name is "eric"

When you downloaded and unzipped/un-rared "eric", you may have accidently left it in its own directory.

So the file isnt in /modules/eric - but is instead in /modules/eric/eric

Does this make sense?

Only thing is the modules installed, which shoudn't be possible if it's in the wrong dir, no

That may have been true for the module I uploaded (i'll check)but the original module "News" was installed by the ensim installer from a package already on my server and i got the same problem with it "before" installing the new "content" module. And the new module installed without any problems.
