[FIXED]Getting HTTP Module error message on new install

[elkman]

I am attempting to install a new installation of CMS on my Host Gator server. I have done this multiple times on multiple server accounts without issue. Today I got an error message during installation saying there is an HTTP error due to a firewall, etc. Modules will not be accessed.

I have checked with Host Gator and they haven't changed anything. I have turned everything off on my computer i.e. firewall, anti-everything, etc. I am installing 1.11.9. Does anyone have an idea what this may be? I have searched and found reference to this issue but no solution.

"an HTTP error due to a firewall, etc ..." isn't much of a help. Perhaps you could give us the exact and complete error message instead of etc ...?

Not an anwer but maybe helpful: you can install modules by downloading them from the forge. Extracting them and then copy the module directory (via FTP for example) to your cmsms' /modules directory.

Then go to Extensions -> Modules and click 'install' link for the specific module.

Thanks for checking out the post and workaround suggestion. After attempting the install several times and seeing the same error, I tried it again this morning doing everything exactly the same. Installation worked flawlessly as usual.

I will chalk this up to Internet gods who didn't want me to work yesterday!

Thanks for your desire to assist. Why I love using CMSMS!
