Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I'm walking through the steps in the “Installing a Module from a URL for Drupal 7” section of this doc http://drupal.org/node/120641
.. which refers to the admin/modules/install section of one's site.
When I go to the Modules admin screen, I’m not presented with the ability to do installs (see ModNoInstall.png attachment).
If I try navigating directly to admin/modules/install, I get Access Denied (See ModInstallAcessDenied.png attachment)
I’m logged in as Admin.

Easy enough to work around it using FTP it was just that the URL-based install would be a bit easier ... but if it doesn't exist ... it doesn't exist :-)

drupalninja99 CreditAttribution: drupalninja99 commentedOh okay I see what you're looking for. I haven't ever used the web installer for installing modules. It requires FTP access or the sites folder to be writable. I can see how that is supposed to work.

drupalninja99 CreditAttribution: drupalninja99 commentedOK I am fairly sure that this is disabled bc your site is installed on hosted Aegir.
Normally you would need to make sure this line is enabled:
$conf['allow_authorize_operations'] = TRUE;
With your Aegir login you can use drush to download modules, or you can FTP them up.
