I installed project & project_issue module when I was using drupal 4.7.

Then I disabled the project & project_issue modules, removed relevant taxomony terms which were automatically created when installing them, and removed all the relevant tables from DB too.

I later upgraded my drupal core to 5.1 and wanted to try project & project_issue again but it seems like something is missing. The problems are
- There was only "Project release API compatibility" taxomony and no other taxomony were automatically created
- After enabling project_issue, the project still does not have any issue tracker
- The 'support forum' were added to all the newly-created project which I do not remember
- When accessing .../project/issues, I get "Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /dir_to_drupal_installation/sites/all/modules/project/issue.inc on line 1460" error

So I want to start from beginning.

How can I completely remove & reinstall the module? Is there any other place where module-related information is stored?

A few of them (notably 'forum' ) add some flags to the 'variables' table, eg to remember what the taxonomy ID they just created was.
If you delete the taxonomy, they don't notice and continue pointing at the blank setting.

Go into your DB and strip out anything that looks suspicious in 'variables'.
Don't worry about deleting too much, the worst you can do is case things to fall back to the default.

i'm not certain if this is the right thing to do, but i had similar problems with the erp module and deleted it from the system table.

in my case i just executed the sql command:

DELETE FROM system WHERE filename LIKE 'modules/erp/%';

so if the project and project_issue are named as such, then you could execute:

DELETE FROM system WHERE filename LIKE 'modules/project/%';
DELETE FROM system WHERE filename LIKE 'modules/project_issues/%';

But check your system table for the correct names used.

The system table. Be careful when knocking things out of there though :)

No idea about the other problems though as I've never used that module.
