Missing Modules v1.11.10

[yelwor]

I've just done a clean install of v1.11.10 and each time everything is reported as being installed correctly however when viewing the front end i get the following error message:

Syntax error in template "tpl_body:22" on line 23 "{search search_method="post"}" unknown tag "search"

This made me think the module wasn't installed successfully so I visit the Extensions -> Module page to find its got nothing on it. I check the modules table in the db and its empty.

Can anyone help?

After posting this I attempted an install of v1.11.9 and everything worked a treat. I am guessing that perhaps the SQL to install the module data in the db in v1.11.10 is missing from the installation procedures.

You might try with {cms_module='search' search_method="post"} to see if that works. If so, then there is a conflict with the {search} plugin part of the module.

Thanks for the reply however there are no modules installed. This is definitely an installation script issue not a configuration issue based on an upgrade. Like I said after installing the previous version my modules table in the db has entries for all the default modules. Installing v1.11.10 and my modules table is empty!

I did yesterday a clean install of 1.11.10 without problems. Did you use the installation program of cmsms itself or a third part installation system?

I downloaded the .tar file from cmsmadesimple website, unpacked it, then ftp'd to my server. Opened the URL to the cmsmadesimple installation and followed the installation steps. The steps all completed successfully.

As FTP is not very reliable a protocol, you should do a checksum of your files, either while installing (there is a step where you are prompted to) or after install, on the admin console.

As a developer I worked my way back through the installation steps looking at the files which run the scripts against the databases. In the script I looked at which populated the tables with data there was no data entered into table modules.

If I get a chance I will try this again and do the checksum.

Just a note, I've never had to do the checksum before on any previous CMS installations. But there will always be a first time!

Did you FTP to check that the modules in the modules folder actually made it, if they aren't there they don't get installed...

[yelwor]

Yep, everything had been ftp'd correctly just nothing in the modules table so the modules page had nothing on it at all in admin.

...just nothing in the modules table so the modules page had nothing on it at all in admin.

Unless core modules have a different behavior, you can't draw that conclusion. even if all module were uninstalled CMSMS would list them in the modules page, as long as their files exist on their respective folders inside the Modules folder. They would only be flagged as uninstalled. There must be something else wrong you your installation and/or environment.
