Thanks but still getting this error:
*Fatal error*: require_once()
[function.require<http://www.tony-mac.com/drupal-7.0/admin/config/annotate/function.require>]:
Failed opening required
'/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/modules/system/annotate.admin.inc'
(include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php') in *
/home3/tonymacc/public_html/drupal-7.0/includes/menu.inc* on line *499
**Why is the function in menu.inc looking for *annotate.admin.inc* in *
/modules/system/?
Here line 499 in menu.inc:
// Only continue if the site status is not set.
if ($page_callback_result == MENU_SITE_ONLINE) {
// Rebuild if we know it's needed, or if the menu masks are missing
which
// occurs rarely, likely due to a race condition of multiple rebuilds.
if (variable_get('menu_rebuild_needed', FALSE) ||
!variable_get('menu_masks', array())) {
menu_rebuild();
}
if ($router_item = menu_get_item($path)) {
if ($router_item['access']) {
if ($router_item['include_file']) {
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/' . $router_item['include_file'];
}
$page_callback_result =
call_user_func_array($router_item['page_callback'],
$router_item['page_arguments']);
}
else {
$page_callback_result = MENU_ACCESS_DENIED;
}
}
else {
$page_callback_result = MENU_NOT_FOUND;
}
}
I completely uninstalled the module from the server and then recreated it.
Flush caches, saved module list. Stood on my head for an hour .... same
error every time.
