I've tried numerous times with no luck.

The path to my drupal installation is /httpdocs/. I've add this and many variations, /httpdocs, httpdocs/, httpdocs etc all giving me the same "Your provided drupal install directory is invalid."

I see the tar.gz uploaded to the sites/default/files/plugin_manager_cache directory.

Any ideas?

I have the same issue. How can this be resolved? What is the correct path? I have my site hosted at: /dontquityourdayjob.net with my modules in /dontquityourdayjob.net/modules.

The same here. Is this module still maintained? I see two questions and no answer... :-(

Module returns error: "Your provided drupal install directory is invalid." when the folders "sites/all/modules" or "sites/all/themes" do not exist in your drupal installation. Be sure to make sure that both of these folders exist.

Version: 6.x-1.10 » 6.x-1.11

Hi, I installed this plugin 6.x-1.11, got it working finally after some trials. Here's what I used, hope it might help clarifying some issue.

Installation method: FTP
Hostname: localhost (yeah, right, just put "localhost" here instead of your real hostname)
Username: FTP Username
Password: FTP Password

*Make sure you know your FTP's username and password. I got really confused with many different usernames and passwords that I set up myself, such as ones for my host database (the tech guy from my host company actually told me to put in username and password pointed to my database but they did not work), for my billing, etc. etc. I just had to really find out what my username and password for my FTP are. Then the plugin worked fantastically for me (even with "resolve dependencies")!

Also using 6.x-1.11 I have the problem that in my installation the ftp account by default does not have write access rights to the /sites/all/modules directory.
So I did chmod : /sites/all/modules

Then the modules could be installed, but they still don't show up in Drupal >> administer >> modules
That only happens when I change the ownership to the same as the apache server.

Any solution to this, because the way it is now, this module does not help much. Otherwise it would be great.
