Hi,
Just installed a fresh CMS and aded the Calendar module via admin area.
The module works, but is unaccessible via FTP so I cant dowload it. Basically the owner and groupis "99" rather than the proper owner.
I can reset owner:group via SSH, but that seemed a drastic way to regain controlof files each time one adds a module. What is the solution to this odd problem?
Thanks

Owner & Group 99 ?
Re: Owner & Group 99 ?
On the Admin page for modules there is an action for each module "Change Permissions", which fixes this.
It only happens with the ones you install via admin, as it is the apache user that actually installs and creates the directories.
I prefer to install locally, then upload, to avoid these permission problems.

Hi Nullig,
Unfortunately, it seems I can change persmissions for everything except the module I added.
Can you explain what you mean when you say "I prefer to install locally, then upload, to avoid these permission problems."
Thanks

Download the modules tar.zip or .zip version of the file via the development section on this site (not the xml one)... expand and upload it via ftp...
It's kinda frustrating, but if your on shared hosting this seems to be the only option.

Thanks. So the CMS will recognise the FTP upload and assume it is installed into the script? I'll give that a go.robsta wrote: Download the modules tar.zip or .zip version of the file via the development section on this site (not the xml one)... expand and upload it via ftp...

But, what has the type of hosting have anything to do with how the script works or doesn't work? I don't understand that.
Cheers.
Re: Owner & Group 99 ?
I am still struggling with the clumsiness f the manual install of modules.
Is there no way to make the module install/uninstall feature via the admin area usable?

Sorry been away...
The problem is the default permissions of your host... and most aren't willing to dick with apache (fair enough I say)
One way around this is to setup a localhost environment on your computer... ie an entire webserver... on pc? google xamp on a mac? google entropy
THEN you can run a dev version and upload modules etc... because its hosted on your computer locally (hence localhost) you have full permissions... not some arbitrarially enforced perms from your host.
story cut short: install the modules via xml locally and then copy the raw files across to your hosting provider via ftp.
it works because everyone is on the same playing field.
