First of all, reinstall the drupal core to make sure you are playing with a full deck.

Make sure you include .htaccess !!!

Put the lightbox2 module back, disable it in Administer > Site building modules, then click on the uninstall tab, and uninstall any modules you have disabled and are sure you don't want any more. Then, logged in as user 1 (the user you first created when you installed the site), run update.php like this:

http://example.com/update.php

And report back.

Next time, work with a test site, which you then copy to production when it is ready. Or at least back up your site (database contents and file system contents) at important points in development. And you should also be using a version control system so you can "move the clock back" whenever something like this happens.

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, thingsstopped 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,

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.
