[sword-devel] Making module and conf file

[Robert Hunt]

Once I fixed my mistake, I used the Xiphos Module Manager to install 
from a local folder. I pointed it to the folder containing my mods.d and 
modules folders and it installed correctly this time. (This is where I 
would have expected some helpful error message previously when the conf 
file had a mistake.)

So if I want to distribute the compressed module from my own server, I 
simply copy those two folders (mods.d and modules) to the correct server 
location? Or do I have to zip them like Nic's diagram implied?

I expect you would have told me if this is the wrong place to ask these 
kinds of questions???

Thanks for your patience,
Robert.
