[SOLVED]Module installation problem

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[SOLVED]Module installation problem

Post by jakovbak »

Hello!
I have a question considering an error while installing or upgrading modules and I can't find anything similar on forums so I thought someone out there might know something about this strange issue...

On existing domain (already running CMSMS 1.11.4) I have installed in subfolder a new version of CMSMS (1.11.4) so I could test a new version of my website. Everything works fine but when I try to upgrade a module or install a new one, nothing really happens: In address bar I can see the usual redirection of address but when it's done, I don't get "module succesfully installed" message. It ends on a blank page without any messages or buttons or links. All I can do is to hit browser's "back" button, then "reload" and I end up with same modules as before. Which means nothing was installed.

Server is running a 5.3 PHP and I don't believe it causes this issue.
I'm not using existing PHP database (from old version of site), I have created a new PHP db before installing the CMSMS in subfolder.
Old version of my website was upgraded to 1.11.4 (from 1.9) and I can see the same issue there. That's why I have tried with clean installation in the subfolder so I could avoid mixing old and new data.

I suspect it's a server-side problem but I'm not sure.
Help, anyone?
Thanks in advance and best regards!
Jakov

Check whether the modules directory is writable by cms:

Site Admin -> System Information -> at the bottom 'Permission Information' -> 'modules'

SOLVED!
I've checked Site Admin --> System Info and noticed a red cross next to "Checking for the XMLReader class (xmlreader_class)".
If someone experience same problem here's what to do:

- go to cPanel and go to Software/Services --> Select PHP Version
- check for parameter "xmlreader" and click on checkbox next to it to mark it as "yes"
- save and log-out

- log-out from your CMSMS Admin and log-in again

Now it should work. It worked for me.
