Here's what I did:

  1. I wanted to install a module(called *mod_php*) and I read that I could just extract it to the modules directory
  2. I went to the Modules manager and created a new Module instance of type *mod_php*
  3. I directed it to an existing menu item
  4. I got a 404 index.php not found error
  5. I Went back and undid all the changes I made and deleted manually the folder from the modules directory

Still index.php not found. I can access other files in the root directory, though, for example - index2.php

Using Joomla! 1.5. Have you got any idea what the problem might be?

For one I would update to 2.5 and try installing the module in module manager in the backend of Joomla so installation is run correctly.

  • Sadly, I cannot do this. I have no access to the server, I'm not an administrator. I was granted administrator rights to the back-end, though, and to the ftp server. So, could you suggest anything that I could do with the means I have? Thank you, anyway! – Gerry Dimova Aug 24 '12 at 19:01
  • You can still install on 1.5 :) just add correct 1.5 package in back-end – Bradley Weston Aug 24 '12 at 19:22
  • You no need file access you upload the zip with installation xml inside valid for 1.5 – Bradley Weston Aug 24 '12 at 19:23

  • I've had the same problem today, numerous times, and I concluded that you should never ever upload or change component or module files via ftp. Joomla just doesn't like its files being modified outside of the backend and it refuses to load index.php. – Gerry Dimova Aug 25 '12 at 12:27
