cant remove modules ?

[jans]

I have a working cms made simple and transferred it onto a unix (linus=x) environment, t was first installed on a windows machine.

Now I am a complete noob when it comes to chmod and that is where the problem starts

All my modules are installed nicely and all are working BUT, every module has an extra line which says (can't remove)

Furthermore if I want to install new modules I get a permission error and the module does not install.

My question now is, which files and maps have to be chmodded to get cmsmadesimple work completely okay.

Could anyone provide me this list or mail it to me ? I need to know all chmodding for each file and map for cmsmadesimple to work flawless.

Can you help me please ?

If you go to http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install
and read steps 4, 5, and 12, it will tell you which to set to what...

How did you transfer it?...

OKay frst of all I did that, but do I need to set 777 for each file and map inside the modules map ? If not I think I am ready, but still it does not work.

I copied all files using FTP to the new hosting server and modified the admin details, used a backup of the site (sql backup) to fill the new sql database and checked all data, and where necesary modified paths.

So now I not only can't remove but evenso install any module, can't modify config gui settings and don't know what else.

The site look like working okay, and I can edit the contents but something is wrong here.

If I install a module the ownership of the maps are set to apache owner and the chmod settings are all wrong, resulting even in a total non working site (have to set chmod back so I can get in again)

If you like you can see http://www.jsnijder.eu

If you need pass for admin I can give it too

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the OS move so clearly.

Some questions :
What do you call "the modules map" and "the maps" ?
Have your clear the cache, in site global settings ?
What is your chmod/FTP tool ?

File ownership and/or file access rights may be the problem as you suggest for installing/removing modules.
Please describe how "modify config gui settings" doesn't work. Please remember we don't see your screen and the steps to the unsatisfactory situation.

I am going to do it all over again and see what I can find out, moving a fully working set to another platform does not work at all so have tried a complete install and copy after that but did not work at all for me, so I deleted the whole bunch and am in the process of a full new copy at this time.

I use the lanai distro 1.0.4 and I think that could be the problem, but I don't dare to upgrade and loose my site on the original platform so don't know where to go and how to go about it rght now.

Pierre I will have to go to hospital tomorrow for an operation but as soon as I am fit again I will try to get back at you, and give you the login details so you can see for yourself, discribing is so not possible because of the complicity of it.

PLease be patient for a few days

If it's less than 1.1 then you can move like this...

if you can't remove modules it's because you probably uploaded them via ftp and the web server process doesn't have sufficient permission to remove the files.  You'll have to remove them manually.

Here's some quick rules of thumb:

If you upload by FTP (or by some other user other than the httpd process user)
  * You may not be able to properly use the image manager, module manager, or the xml import tool:
  UNLESS you blow the permissions wide open on:
    a) tmp (recursively)
    b) modules (recursively)
    c) uploads (recursively)

If you don't set the file creation mask properly in global settings:
  * You may not have access via ftp to any files uploaded through the web interface
 
And
  SAFE MODE  will cause even more grief.

Here's what I do if installing on a host I want want the xml functionality, and other file upload functionality to work:
  a) Upload cms made simple
  b) create config.php
  c) create tmp, tmp/templates_c and tmp/cache directories
  d) chmod -R 777 config.php tmp uploads modules
  e) run the installer
  f) chmod 644 config.php
  g) go into the admin, under Global Settings and run the file creation mask test tool until
      new files created have sufficient privilege to allow me to read files via the web or via ftp
