modules don't get installed

Posted by dazz on August 6, 2009 at 12:13pm

I'm trying to install some modules on my drupal installation.
I upload them, check the checkbox an click 'save', he gives a message that everything is saved but nothing has happend.
Some modules work but others don't, for example, i installed the 'filebrowser' module (http://drupal.org/project/filebrowser) on my drupal 6 site but i can't see any configuration page anywhere and when i wane create a link to it it says that it can't find the path.

Now i installed the same module on my old drupal 5 site and it works like a charm (5.x version ofcourse).

Is there something wrong with my drupal installation or am i doing something wrong?

system table

dazz:

can you check your system table and search

SELECT *
FROM `system`
WHERE STATUS =1

and see if the changes are saved to the db ?

also when you say "but nothing has happend" does it mean that the module enabling failed ?

well it enables the module but i can't see it in the Site configuration and when i create a menu link it says the path doesn't exist.

If you can't see the settings

If you can't see the settings in the expected path admin/settings/filebrowser then it's probably not installed correctly.
Post more details in the actual project issue queue and you may get help there.

I am too having this problem,

After uploading the filebrowser files into sites/all/modules, I go to the modules list and enable it.

Nothing is displayed in "configuration by module"

admin/settings/filebrowse takes me to the default settings page.

Please help
Thanks
