[support] Error trying to install module in new site.

[Ursula Pieper]

Hmm, did you look into the system log for more information, as suggested by
the error message? Anything in error_log (wherever is is in your
installation)?
I install my modules/etc using drush, so I can't quite replicate your
problem without switching on services I don't want.

Posting articles, changing them etc. require database updates, whereas the
installation of a module/theme requires the correct permissions in the
directories involved.
