CMS Made Simple Forums

I've posted before, but never got a resolution.

When trying to install the FrontEndUser 1.1.1 module (or any module, for that matter) on CMSMS 1.0.4.

I went into the cms to the Extensions >> Modules and tried to upload the file (FrontEndUser 1.1.1). I got this error message:

Could not create a file (permissions problem?) /var/www/vhosts/preschoolrock.com/subdomains/health/httpdocs/modules/FrontEndUsers/UserManipulator.class.php

It seems the issue is with one file (UserManipulator.class.php) - a permissions issue. So I set the permission to 777 on that particular file. It still doesn't work. The Uploads/Images folder is set to 777.

As stated above, when I upload ANY module, I get permission errors. Here's the message I get when I try to upload the Chat 0.1.1 module:

Could not create a file (permissions problem?) /var/www/vhosts/preschoolrock.com/subdomains/health/httpdocs/modules/Chat/_chatengine.php (Troubleshooting)

Now, when I upload these files through the cms, they appear on the server (I can see them in Plesk), but I can't see them in the cms and I get the permission errors above.

What could I be doing wrong?

I got the BlankoftheMonth to work since that installs via FTP. Yay! Hmmmm...is there a zip version of the FrontEndUser?

Is your modules folder set to 777? You need write access to install modules from the admin panel.

Also, installing via the admin panel sets the file owner to the apache process. You could try the "Change Permissions" link for the module in the Admin panel to see if it will correct your problems.

Yes, the modules folder is set to 777.

Try the "Change Permissions" link for the module? Where would I find that?

Now I've got the module installed (FrontEndUser) I've lost the formatting of my Admin panel. URGH! It was fine after the install of BlankoftheMonth.

Can someone help?

it looks (to mee) like safe_mode is enabled on your host.  and that will cause all kids of problems with installing files via XML (either modules, or themes).

You can determine if safe mode is on, by creating a test.php file that is just "", and executing it, it should tell you if safe mode is on.

CMS 1.0.5 tests for all of these things.

In the Admin panel, click on the modules link to see the list of modules. Right under the Install/Uninstall link is a Change Permissions link. Click on this link for the modules you've installed via the admin panel.

What do you mean by "I've lost the formatting of my Admin panel."?

I got it installed. It must be some problem with that version because 1.1.3 worked, as did SelfREgistration 1.1.0.

Now what I can't figure out how to set it up. I can't click on any of the tabs in either the FrontEndUser or SelfRegistration pages even after giving myself permission. Did I miss a step? Urgh, I'm so close!!!!

Edited to add:

I installed the FrontEndUser 1.1.3-beta1. This is the one that didn't allow me to click on any tabs. I removed it and uploaded the beta3 version. It now works.

BUT, I can't get the Self Registration to work. I get this message when placing the code on a page:

Error!

Insufficient number (or incorrect) parameters supplied to module

This is something simple I'm missing, right?
