Module not showing up

By kkentert on 23 Apr 2015 at 18:56 UTC

I've searched for this and can't find any postings, but I'm sure it's happened to other people.

I installed CKEditor inset my sites>all>modules directory. When I go to modules to activate it, it's not there to turn on. I used to have it installed, but something happened (an update was needed?) and it disappeared. My Drupal is up to date, I installed the most current CKEditor and can't figure out what's wrong. Can someone help?

Check to see if its in modules folder inside root folder. Usually when module doesn't show one of the reasons could be that you have two copies of the module.

Also check if you have /sites/all/modules/contrib folder and if there is a copy there.

It is not in the public_html/modules folder.
I do not have a sites/all/modules/contrib folder.
Any other ideas?
It's making me CRAZY, because I've installed plenty of modules, and had this installed before. :-(

Look inside the module and see if there is .info and .module file there. Check what the file permissions are.

What I would suggest if above is there is to delete the folder then use "drush dl modulename" to get the module and then "drush en modulename"

Thank you! It did not find a .info or a .module, but your drush suggestion lead me to another solution. I was installing the module from my desktop after opening it. I read on a dursh read me that the file should be uploaded as it's zipped file and unzipped on the server. I did that and everything works now.
Thanks again!

EDIT-OK, actually that didn't work. What was missing was some instruction in the documentation. The OLD way of doing it simply required throwing the module in the modules folder. NOW, apparently you need to download the CKEditor Drupal Module from the Drupal site, install it, THEN download the CK editor file from the CKEditor website and add it into the CKEditor folder inside the CKEditor Drupal Module. That took two days to figure out. :-(
