I'm writing an install profile, and Drupal seems to think that modules can only be in the site's root modules (/modules) folder. I have CCK and other modules in /sites/all/modules, and I get the error message: "The cck module is required but was not found. Please move it into the modules subdirectory."

What am I doing wrong? Can't install profile modules be in this directory, as recommended by Drupal?

What do you mean by "install-script"?

Forget about my question. If you want to use an install script and install contributed modules you should think about drive the installation of contributed modules to the default path: sites/all/modules and of course have a procedure in your "install profile" that first create the modules folder and then copy/enpack every contribute module you want in it.

Note: I'm not an expert, this is a guess of what I have understood from your posting.

Edit: Correction: as I have looked up here http://drupal.org/project/Installation+profiles
I just can say that you have to upload first the contributed module in the above mentioned folder before starting
to build an install profile. and more important Drupal have to have at list read access rights to your
sites/all/modules (again is a guess)

Sorry for my confusion in answering ;-(

Hi,

Use following code

function default_profile_modules() {
return array(

/*Drupal default core modules*/
'color', 'comment', 'help', 'menu', 'taxonomy', 'dblog',

/*Drupal CCK modules*/
'content','content_copy','content_permissions','fieldgroup');

}
