Question

I’m running Drupal 7.4 on localhost, and I’ve downloaded some themes/modules but I’m unable to install them. I go to administration/modules, for example, select ‘Upload a module or theme archive to install’, choose the tar.gz from my file system, and before the install I’m asked for a FTP user and password and can not advance.

I’m working locally, so I’m thinking maybe I made some mistake during the install. How can I correct this? I have to do a lot of testing on local before moving the site to a server.

Answer 1

I found the solution here. All I have to do is place the modules/themes inside drupal_folder/sites/default/modules or themes and that’s it.
