Problem with module install after update ($config->moduleInstall, ProcessWire 3.0.165).

[Simi]

Since I updated to the version ProcessWire 3.0.165 installing modules from URL, directory and Upload won't work anymore.
I have already added $config->moduleInstall('download', true); to my /site/config.php file, but it still doesnt work. Has anyone a solution for this?

@benbyf,

moderator note

A near identical topic was created yesterday. I have combined your threads.

@Simi I have modified the thread title slightly to better reflect the issue you are facing.

Hi! Had this problem today too. In my case this was a problem with file permissions. After setting permissions to 777 for the folder site/modules/ it worked.

Hi johnnydoe!

I adjusted my file permissions, but it still shows the same message!

I have the same situation when using PHP 7.4. And no configurations and folder permissions fix this.
When using PHP 7.3 (and earlier) modules are loaded normally.

Problem solved.

PHP 7.4 ZIP extension option --enable-zip was removed. You need to manually install Zip and ZipLib in PHP. 

The rest of the access rights must also be set. But, I still do not understand why errors are not displayed in the log file?

• Make sure /site/assets/cache/ directory is writeable for PHP.
• Make sure your site modules directory (/site/modules/) is writeable for PHP.
• ZipArchive class is required and your PHP does not appear to have it.

Hello everyone!

A update to the new ProcessWire version 3.0.184 and the new PHP version solved the issue for me. 

Thanks again! 😁

Hi Simi,

Thank you in advance!

There are already good guides on the internet on how to update ProcessWire! Look here: How to upgrade ProcessWire to the latest version or here ProcessWire Upgrade (ProcessWireUpgrade) - ProcessWire Module

How to enable archive support in PHP.

Your web hosting provider must have these options enabled when running PHP. If you control this yourself, add these keys on the PHP command line:

--with-bz2=/usr --with-zip --with-zlib
