Module System Problem - Unable to write to main menu

By mistake I deleted Module System inside Modules but recover it again and its workin fine. But I cannot update or whatever I install it will not show left block in the administrator ( Control Panel Home ). I have installed ShoutBox, Gallery and Chat but it will not give me to hadle them in the Admin, I can only see them in the site. Below is the msg I received when I click update for system module:

Try to check your permissions in the templates_c folder and the cache folder, make sure they are writable.
That should fix your problem.

Re: Module System Problem - Unable to write to main menu

Yes jlm69, the templates_c, cache and upload folder were writable but still not working. It shows the same error msg. Do I need to do something with mainfile.php? but I am not sure which or where to fixed or why this is happening.
I cannot modify anything now in Admin since whatever I did will not take in action.


I cannot remove left and right -block menu now can add more. I install gallery, chat and shout box but will not show in Left Admin so I cant do anything with.

Are you sure mainmenu template is correctly uploaded? Check in your server the file is in modules/system/templates/blocks, and check the name and content.

Maybe the file is damaged.

Maybe totally unrelated but I had the same problem on my site a few weeks ago and i tried everything to get round it.

I finaly fixed it by uploading a complete install of the latest version (following the upgrade instructions word for word) and updated the system module and that cured it.

Hope that may be of some help.

I have recently had a similar problem with XOOPS 2.0.16.

I always set the cache folder permissions to 777 but 'adminmenu.php' (which is inside cache) remains set at 644 - which is the normal default for files.

On most sites, updates are no problem, but on one I got the "cannot write to main menu" error. To correct this, I had to set adminmenu.php to 666. (you may want to try that).

I have no idea why this happens. I have re-uploaded clean files so there are no corruptions AFAIK. The only significant difference is that the site which caused the problem is 2 levels down from root, i.e. example.com/subdir1/xoopsdir.

I had the same problem, when I moved my site from one server to another. After setting attributes of adminmenu.php to 666 (before was 644) things gone back to normal.
