☹ I am new in Oxid and i want to install new module ( test module [http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/Andreas\_Ziethen010710.php3](http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/Andreas_Ziethen010710.php3))

Activating the Module  
In order for the new module to work, it must be registered under the administration area (Master Settings -\> Core Settings -\> System -\> Modules). Add the following line to the list of installed modules:  
oxcontentlist =\> my\_cms/my\_cms\_oxcontentlist  
On the left is the name of the original class, and on the right is the path to the module file, relative to the /oxid/modules directory and without the .php extension (see Figure 6). If there were more modules using the class oxContentList, they would be appended to the right list and separated with an ampersand (&), as below:  
oxcontentlist =\> my\_cms/my\_cms\_oxcontentlist&my\_test/test

// Iknow the Themes and modules handling moved to new menu "Extensions"  
But in Extensions there is no possibility to install or add new Modules

This information is outdated, you do not need to do this stuff anymore.

Hi,

with other words: Copy the module into the modules/ folder of your shop installation. It shall now appear in the module list in your admin panel and can simply be activated from this place.

Regards

Either this or the module folder (of files in it) have not enough rights to be read by the web server on your machine. It shall be something like 644 or so (depending on your environment).
