I had difficulty installing Protector using the instructions at
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=254269#forumpost254269
I think that what I've done is a close match to the explanation at
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=252705#forumpost252705
I now have a trust path above the web site path. The trust path had nothing in it but the modules folder (with the protector module folder) from the xoops_trust_path (/xoops_root_path folder didn't exist in the download) in the protector download. And the protector folder under html\modules was copied to the XOOPS modules folder. I added a trust path definition to mainfile.php as described
define('XOOPS_TRUST_PATH', '/home/www/xxxxxxxxx');
But when I went to install the module, the first clue something was wrong was that the Protector module had a blank name (but had the version correct: 3.17). My second clue was when it said it "Unable to install . Error(s): Module already exists". My final verification that something is wrong that XOOPS Info shows protector module with a red light.
I've set the configs path to 777 (was 755), same behavior.
