[support] HELP - I messed up my site

Nestor, 

If I am reading your post right there another issue here that has not be an
addressed. It sounds like you uploaded a copy of Drupal into
sites/all/modules and then ran update.php. I have done this once before as
well and you will get all sorts of strange errors if it’s not fixed.  The
first thing to check is if you go to the system table in the database do the
core modules list their path as being in
sites/all/modules/Drupalfolder/blog/blog.module for example.  If they don’t
forget what I am about to say. 

1.       Backup your sites folder and your database

2.       Makes sure your files for Drupal are ready and that your
sites/all/modules folder has the modules that you are trying to use. I would
include lightbox just in case something is calling it still and we can work
with that in another step 

3.       Go into your database and find the systems table 

4.       There is a filed called filename 

a.       Filenames for core should look like this modules/blog/blog.module 

b.      As your identified your look like in
sites/all/modules/Drupalfolder/blog/blog.module

c.       Remember non core modules should still be in sites/all/modules and
core modules should be in modules/

5.       The only way I know to fix this is to edit each incorrect entry so
that it matches the correct location

6.       Clear your cache tables (from the database at this point is best)

7.       Run update.php

Once you have done these step check the functionality of the site. Check
your error log and make sure things are running smoothly. Then you can go in
and disable lightbox2 re-upload it and re-enable  it. 

I hope this helps.

Nestor - 

Here are a few things I would try.  (There may be some more experienced
folks to advise you more appropriately.)

*	Take a look a your error logs (both php and iis).  Maybe there's
something more there to help you out.
*	Make a backup of your entire Drupal directory before you make any
more changes.  Export your current database.  Save these both somewhere
else.
*	add lightbox2 back to the modules directory.  Run update and see if
that helps.  (If it does then you can uninstall this the appropriate way.)
*	switch to one of the core themes, such as garland.  The quickest way
for me is to just edit the settings.php file for your site.  At the bottom
there is a section for overrides.  You just uncomment three lines and save.
This will override any theme settings you have in the database.  It should
look something like this:
* Remove the leading hash signs to enable.
 */
# $conf = array(
#   'site_name' => 'My Drupal site',
#   'theme_default' => 'garland',

Uncomment the lines with $conf, 'theme_default', and );. This will override
your theme settings.  Does your site display now? (Once you get your site
working, then you can comment these out again and let your theme take back
over.)
*	disable/uninstall all your modules, (if this is the only site
running on your drupal installation - remove everything from your
sites/all/modules folder), clear your cache, run update, are you getting
errors reported to the screen or to your error logs?  If not, then start
installing modules again.  If so, then see the next item.
*	Of course, with Drupal looking for another Drupal installation
nested inside itself, you really should reinstall properly and try pulling
the database into that.  I'd probably make a second installation of Drupal,
modify the sql to get rid of the offending items.  This could mean manually
disabling all contrib modules.  Create a new site folder with the elements
from the backup of your site, create a new database, import the old database
you had exported and modified earlier.  See what happens. 

I'm not sure if any of this helps.  It's just a few steps that I'm thinking
of off the top of my head.

I was ready to present my site to the boss when I decided to add lightbox2
and get fancy
after I added lightbox2 every link in the page made lightbox go into action
(do not know how).
I am using drupal-6.12, when I removed the lightbox2 module without
disabling it first, things 

stopped working.  Also, somehow I got the drupal-6.13 folder inside my
sites/all/modules, if I

remove the drupal-6.13 folder from the sites/all/modules then I get this
error when I try to access:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required
'sites/all/modules/drupal-6. 

13/modules/user/user.pages.inc' (include_path='.;D:\php;D:\php\includes') in
D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\root\nestor\scroller612\includes\menu.inc on line 346

My site had a layout of left, middle and right but now the whole site is
vertical and the newsflash theme does not appear.  I also get this message
in every page:
   * The selected file D:\temp\filBD.tmp could not be uploaded, because the
destination is not properly configured.
   * The selected file D:\temp\filBF.tmp could not be uploaded, because the
destination is not properly configured.

My suckerfish menu shows vertical instead of being in one row

All of the pages info is there is just displaying vertically.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Néstor
