Hi there,
I have got a real big problem using Xoops. When I upload a new module it isn´t shown in the admin-menue. Usually "fresh uploaded" modules are shown as uninstalled modules. But it isnt. That happend with all modules i tried to upload/install. Is there another way to install a module, than in the admin-menue? Or does someone has an answer?
Don´t know whats wrong...

greetings Benny

1- turn php debug on and see if there is any error in "module admin" page.

2- Did you upload to yourxoops/modules directory, the module folder with the module files inside? there is a xoops_version.php file inside each module.

3- provide us more information about your XOOPS , php, MySQL version.

1. ok i turned on the debugger. it shows me these errors:

All these modules that are listed in the errorlog work like they should. It seems as if XOOPS doesnt check whether there is a new module in the module-directory

2. Yes I uploaded it in the modules directory and of course it had a xoops_version.php



3. XOOPS versin is 2.0.16 and php5 dont know the MySQL version

I hope these information are helpful

maybe someone with more skill can help you better.
but you should check that "open_basedir" with your hosting provider

use phpinfo and look for "open_basedir" to find if there is other than "no value" set for it so that is your problem.
