XML installation problem with modules

[bikerider]

Hi,
I can't install modules using XML due to server restrictions "open_basedir restriction in effect"

Is there any way I can convert XML for module installation back into the old format of files like what was in a zip or tar.gz

Which Module do you need in folder format?

[bikerider]

cataloger is the module I want.  I had CMSMS 0.13 working with cataloger  0.4.2  (the last release with a tar.gz ) and then I upgraded to CMSMS 1.02.

So either I can try changing the rowcount calls to recordcount or hopefully find a way to install cataloger 0.5.3 usinf files rather than XML.

[Dr.CSS]

I'd try the rowcount change first...

Or I could upload it, latest 0.5.3, in xml to mine then zip the folder for you...

[bikerider]

yes- I will try the rowcount fix first.

Ended up setting up a local CMSMS on a Win 98se box.  Apache, PHP, MySql.

Install modules there and then transfer.  Complicated but not impossible.

I spoke to my web hosting company as well and they got round the base_dir restrictions but I still have major problems with file permissions.

So much easier to ftp modules etc.
