Using CMSMS 1.11.2
Am getting a Cannot Download message on modules in Module Manager. In Site Admin/System Information I get the following under Permission Information:
modules Failure /usr/local/pem/vhosts/116437/webspace/httpdocs/mysitename/modules (0755)
This site is hosted by my client's choice of hosts and I am wondering if this issue is to do with the hosting company. None of my many other sites have ever had a problem with Module Manager. This is my first site using 1.11.2 however so perhaps there is something I need to set here that I didn't have to do in 1.10.3?
Thanks.

Well, I guess the module directory with most hosting providers should be 777.
If you uploaded this website by copying all the files of CMSMS separately by FTP, then I suppose you can change those permissions using an FTP client (e.g. FileZilla).
Else there might also be a (Web) Admin Panel for your hosting that enables you to do that. It's quite a common thing to do.
You also need to chmod other directories (tmp, uploads) and the config file (444) is a good idea too (after successful installation).

Thanks Verden - that did the trick - I changed Modules, tmp and uploads to 777 - is that correct?
Re: Module Manager permissions - host question or not?
The permissions settings on folders is more a server choice, I have many sites using 755 just fine but I've run into a few that only work with 777...
