I am trying to install the category module but I get this error when I am installing both the wrappers.

* warning: copy(modules/book.module.copyme): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/site/public_html/cms/modules/contrib/category/category.module on line 1502.
* The file book.module.copyme could not be copied. Unable to perform the specified operation.

Found the solution.

Need to chmod modules directory to 666

In fact, it ended up hiding /admin/settings/category interface totally.

I even tried chmod -R 777 modules with no success.

So far our guess is that this did work because we are using multi-site modules rather than standard modules.

e.g.

/sites/my.multisite.org/modules/category/category.module

rather than

/modules/category/category.module

We are trying to decide what's required to get category to work in multi-site modules.

Because the apache provided to me was setup to run as the user "nobody".

You need to change the cmod to these module folders: book & taxonomy

Thanks for the info, WebWeaver.

Post install of the module, should we chmod the book and taxonomy folders back to 755?
