Strange Functionality Problem

Developing with Concrete
1

Working on a new site using Core Version - 9.4.6 with a BS5.x theme (converted and working fine). On our development system (nginx) we are trying to install an addon. We’ve placed the addon into the “packages” folder using sftp.

However when we try to extend functionality, we cannot see the package in the dashboard! We’ve done this so many times and is almost impossible to mess up. That said, we are obviously doing something so fundamentally stupid, but can’t see where we are going wrong.

We’ve also tried several packages with the same results. Refreshed C5, logged out/in rebooted etc. Everything else works fine (i.e. editing, file mngr…).

Ideas and thoughts would be appreciated.

Tx all.

Happy New Year…

Could you check that you have a controller.php inside the package folder at the root. There shouldn’t be a folder inside the folder.
Then make sure the package handle found in controller.php is the same as the folder’s name.

Also check that the package is not a legacy package. If the controller.php doesn’t have namespacing it’s a legacy one

Oh sorry I didn’t see you had the same issue with all packages. What I said is probably not going to help.
