Issue Loading Modules - Help needed

[fmperu]

Dear All,

I have been trying to load a module using module loader feature and all the time I get following error on my production machine.

Specified directory '' for zip file 'cache/upload/upgrades/module/qq_package2008_10_03_135129.zip' extraction does not exist.

Please note that my production machine is Linux and development is Windows. It's working fine on my development machine.

Please help. I need help very urgent,

Thanks,

Hi fmperu

Make sure the folder cache is recursively writable for the user under which the apache web server is running.
You can identify the user and group in the httpd.conf.
use the command as root: chown -R user.group /path_to_sugar

Where user and group are the values in the httpd.conf.

Best regards

Thanks Dear,

As my production site is hosted on an ISP servers, hence I won't be able to know about httpd.config entries in this case. If I give full permissions on this folder like chmod 0777 then would it work in this case?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Faisal

It may works, but it has security issues.
You can discover the user/group this way:

Create a simple php script which creates a file and add any contents into it:

<?php

 $fh = fopen('some_file.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fh, 'some line');
fclose($fh);
?> 
 

Run this script in the browser, look for the file (it will be located in the folder where you created the script) and figure out the owner and group of file, they are the values you want.

Best regards
