Hi,

I've installed drupal 6.9 and I'm trying to install some additional modules - CCK and image - but I can't enable them because they are not showing up in the list on Administer > Site building > Modules.

I unziped the modules and put them into drupal/sites/all/modules/cck and drupal/sites/all/modules/image. I'm working on a test site on my local Win XP machine (using WAMP Server), so I think the files should be readable and executable by default, so I don't think it's a permissions problem. I also tried running cron manually by browsing to http://localhost/drupal/cron.php. Yet the new modules still don't show up in the list.

What am I doing wrong? What else can I try?

I uploaded a few modules and tried to enable them all at once and got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function block_list() in /home/exmaple/public_html/example/includes/theme.inc on line 1569

any suggestions?

Why did you post this question as an answer to an unrelated question? You should have posted it in a new thread, specifying your Drupal version etc.

Anyway... your error message means that the block module (a required core module) is missing or misplaced or unreadable or disabled.

this could be something. Why not enable one module at a time. The fact that you are not even seeing those module suggest something else you did could be causing problem here. Did you enable other modules previously and before verfying those working you enabled cck and image?

Is the version of those modules 6.x? Do they have an .info file?

Yes and yes. They are both for Drupal 6.x and both modules contain their own .info and a .module files

I still haven't managed to get the new modules (CCK and image) to show up in the list on Administer > Site Building > Modules on my test Drupal site on my local Windows machine. I only see the Core-optional and Core-required modules.

I copied the modules to site/all/modules/cck and sites/all/modules/image. I'm using the 6.x version of both modules and they both have .info files. I've run cron a few times just in case that would help.

Any suggestions on what else might be causing them not to show up in the list?

Ok, I figured it out. As silly as it sounds, I somehow managed to have 2 complete drupal directories on my computer and I was putting the modules into the wrong one. Once I copied the modules into the right drupal installation everything worked fine.
