So when I try to install the module either manually or through Drupal's install module screen the module page goes blank and it gives me a "Connection has been reset" message. The module does not install at all. I checked the modules folder and the AddtoAny's folder doesn't even get copied there. When I copy AddtoAny manually to the modules folder it breaks the modules page as well. I'm using Drupal 7 and tried installing it on a fresh install with no other modules and got the same results.
I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

by the way I'm doing this on a local installation and not on a live website...

The current module version has had a fairly long lifespan and this is the first I've heard of such an issue.

What's your local environment? Have you tried installing on a different PC or server?

Similar topics on different modules indicate that this type of issue may be due to the local environment.

I'll try it on a different set up and post my results, thanks.

I am seeing the same issue on a local site. I am running the LAMP stack using WampServer on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

Hi,
I 've got the same problem with this module. Except that on my local environment, it works fine. The problem is encountered as soon as I copy the addtoany directory in the module directory of my production site. The problem disappear as soon as I delete the module. Is there any clue to solve this ?
Thanks.

Removing the description of the module from the .info file fixes the issue, so it must be a special character or something in the line.

For my purposes simply removing the description was enough.

There's a link in the description
"Helps readers share, bookmark, and email your articles and pages using any service, such as Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg, and over 100 more using the <a href='http://www.addtoany.com/' target='_blank'>AddToAny</a> widget."

if you delete the link it works

"Helps readers share, bookmark, and email your articles and pages using any service, such as Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Digg, and over 100 more using the widget."

HTML is allowed in the .info file's description per this guide for writing .info files:
