AW: [opencms-dev] module import fails in 6.0.4

[Uhlig, Roman]

That does not work, since the module import is looking inside the packages/modules folder only. If I put it outside, it's not listed for import at all. The "Import module with HTTP" function is putting it there too.

It's a freshly installed OpenCms 6.0.4 on the target machine, I really wonder why importing a module exported by another 6.0.4 doesn't work at all.

Best regards,
Roman

I assume you used the modules export on the source machine.
Where did you put the module on the target machine when you imported it?
I can be wrong but it is a good idea to not put it in WEB-INF/packages/modules/xyz.zip since the modules reside there and when the module import tries to import it, it finds it already there.

Put it one level up (packages) and do the import from there.

As said, I may be wrong but I vaguely recall I had exactly that same problem.
