I have uploaded the paypal folder structure back into the correct place and still not working. I installed the 1.4.2 first.
Nothing appearing in the error log.
This appears to be a known bug which was fixed in the master version (still under development). The problem is updating the extensions database table, which is looking for module paypal_express instead of payment paypal_express in type and name column. bla bla bla
Here's a temporary fix;
open Extensions under admin/controllers/ and replace
line 173
if ($this->Extensions_model->install('module', $this->input->get('name'), $this->input->get('id'))) {
to
if ($this->Extensions_model->install('payment', $this->input->get('name'), $this->input->get('id'))) {
You'll have to change this back to 'module' after installing paypal_express so you will be able to install other modules
OR the easiest way
UPDATE `ti_extensions` SET `status` = '1' WHERE `type` = 'payment' AND `name` = 'paypal_express'
You'll need to change the table prefix if different
