No IP blocking configuration page available after enabling module #1

jackaponte commented 6 years ago

I've downloaded and installed ip_blocking-1.x-1.0.1 on my Backdrop 1.11.1 site. After confirming that the "Block IP addresses" permission was granted to the appropriate roles and clearing caches, I still can't access the module's admin page. No such page is available via the admin menu at Administration > Configuration > User accounts > IP address blocking. The "Configure" Operations link for the module on the Modules page links to admin/config/people instead of admin/config/people/ip-blocking, and the latter path only leads to the "User accounts" admin page.

Thank you for reporting, @jackaponte! Actually, problem is in files directory permissions after unzipping downloaded file (this is old Github issue) - no one except owner cannot read files within. You can just change permission of module directory to 755 recursively (to include "config" subdirectory). Anyway, today later I'll release new version without such problem.

Ah, many thanks for the response @findlabnet! I'll either try the new release or apply the fix you suggest. Cheers!

You are welcome, @jackaponte! Feel free to let me know if anything going wrong.

Hi again @findlabnet! I just downloaded ip_blocking-1.x-1.0.2 using drush, enabled the module but still couldn't reach a config page, either via the UI or by directly visiting admin/config/people/ip-blocking. I uninstalled the module, made sure the permissions were set properly as you suggested, enabled the module again and still no luck!

I wish I had time to put into troubleshooting this myself; perhaps some time will free up in the future. :)

Sorry about your problem, @jackaponte. Can you explain current file system permissions exactly as you can see? Correct permissions for directories(folders) is 755 and for files is 644. You can try run within your modules directory: chmod -R 755 ip_blocking/ Please check admin/reports/dblog - if Backdrop cannot read directory content, you can see some PHP warnings about this problem. Have you another Backdrop setup, to check this problem with?

Apologies for trailing off here years ago! Turned out my problem was solved by disabling backup_migrate on the test site I was using before enabling ip_blocking; that stopped a backup_migrate problem of trying to connect to a database with incorrect credentials, and that allowed ip_blocking to install correctly.
