The addons folder it is not supposed to be the one inside server. At the same level as server there's probably a folder named addons. Place your modules there.

After you log into the system you need to update the module list. Also, as Davide said, you should check for the default filters, in the top right.

If none of the above works, try looking in the server.conf file. In there you can specify the folder where the OpenERP looks for the module (i.e. the addons folders).

1  [options]
2  addons_path = /home/.../addons1,/home/.../addons2
3  ...

As you can see, you can specify more than one folder for the system to look for the modules, separate the absolute path with a comma. To use this configuration file, launch the server with the -c option like:

./openerp-server -c /<path>/server.conf

Hope it helps!

Hello,

I run into this issue myself with Odoo 10 CE.

I was trying to install a theme, so here is the steps to do so:

1- Upload & extract theme files under addons folder (That's /var/lib/odoo/addons/10.0 in CentOS7)

2- Add the right permissions to user 'odoo'.

2- You might want to restart Odoo

2- Go to Odoo Setting, in the right down corner click "Activate debug mode".

3- Now you go back to the apps dashboard.

4- The tricky part is here, remove the applied filter.

5- Search for the addon keyword, in my case `theme`.

Done, hope that's help.

Solved in my case:  Windows 8.1 with Odoo 8. 

1. Give Administrator the "Technical Features" permission
2. Place the module in a folder included in addons_path =   in the archive openerp-server.conf   (the module must be  placed directly in one of those folders!! it doesn´t work if you place a folder full of new modules!).
3. Stop and initiate the service odoo-server-8.0
4. Update Module List
5. The module just appear

I hope it helps

Hello,

If your module is at "../server/openerp/addons" then follow the below steps, Step-1) Give access rights to administrator. Step-2) go to Setting-> Update Module List -> Click on Update. Step-3) Now enter your module name in the search panel which is at the top right corner of the view.

hope now you get your module Name. You can install the module by click on the install button.

Thanks, Serpent Consulting Services.

You can Refer this \link, it may help a lot.
thanks.

Did you run this in the cmd box (linux) "systemctl restart odoo"

Also, did you activate developer mode? I think you have to. 

Click on Help drop down menu(where you admin user name is>About>Activate the developer mode

For images, check out the link below. 

http://pulse7.net/openerp/odoo-9-how-to-activate-developer-mode/

I don't know since which version but in version 10 you have to "activate the developer mode (with assets)" in settings for the option "Update Module List" to show in the applications tab.

Hi @ all

I have copied the modules into the add ons folder. But the copied files can't be read. How can i set with putty the correct rights? Can somebody explain that step by step? thanks

Be sure that it is a module and not a package of modules that you put in the /path/to/addons directory. If it is a package, move the modules inside into the addons directory.

I tried "../server/openerp/addons" then follow the below steps, Step-1) Give access rights to administrator. Step-2) go to Setting-> Update Module List -> Click on Update. Step-3) Now enter your module name in the search panel which is at the top right corner of the view."

I am installing the module for Odoo V8, but could not install the module as there is no new module in module list. Please help how to install it.

Kind regards

Vishal

Unable to get this working. :(

Newly installed latest Ubuntu server. Installed openERP from repository as described on download page.

In my /etc/openerp/openerp-server.conf the first value is the addons_path pointing to, addons_path = /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/openerp/addons

So first I upload my l10n_xx.zip file to there change ownership and execution mode to what other files look like. (In the documentation for ver. 6.1 it implies that one could just upload the zip-file as is. ? No-Go!

So I unzip the file creating a folder by name "l10n_xx" in the addons directory mentioned above. Change owner and rights.

I run "Update Module List" go to Apps, remove all filters and search but NO, nothing new.

What is ment with " Step-1) Give access rights to administrator."? Where is this done, I tried looking at the Administrator account, but cannot find anything about rights to add modules. Don't I already the rights as an administrator and with Technical Settings enabled?

Kind regards, Erik

I followed all the instructions, but when installing the module projects is presented to me the following error:
