I too am unable to get Lightbox to activate with FFox2.0.0.4 or IE6
Page here: www.lroca.org.nz/drupal
Menu "test lightbox"

I added the various .js files from scriptaculos-js-1.7 as noted

I edited lightbox.js to show:
var fileLoadingImage = "/drupal/modules/lightbox2/images/loading.gif";
var fileBottomNavCloseImage = "/drupal/modules/lightbox2/images/closelabel.gif";
var fileBottomNavZoomImage = "/drupal/modules/lightbox2/images/expand.gif"; //Update to 2.02+
because Drupal is in a subfolder.

(Your instructions don't mention that these code lines are commented out in the original file)
I even uploaded controls.js just in case it was needed...

I use tinymce normally but ended up switching to plain HTML and used:
Only local images are allowed.

The webdeveloper toolbar option in FF shows Java is not disabled and warnings are off.
Can you see anything obviously wrong in the page source?
Thanks for your help - I want to be able to ditch Gallery2!

After much checking and re-checking I tried disabling Lightbox2 in config (goes to to 'lite' version)
It now works, but without any dark shading/masking of the underlying page...

I also did not alter the lightbox_lite.js file to reflect the fact that Drupal is in a subfolder of my site.
Maybe I'll just re-comment out the alterations is lightbox.js back their original form (ie commented out) and see what happens.
Weird and wonderful stuff!

No progress with Lightbox2 - only 'Lite' version will work.
Any clues anyone?
thanks

Please be sure tha you have downloaded the correct scriptaculous files. For Drupal 5.x, you need to download the ones from here: http://www.stellapowerdesign.net/scriptaculous-drupal.zip

Title: Unable to make Lightbox activate » Unable to configure Lightbox2 in 5.1
Component: Code » User interface
Category: support » bug
Priority: Normal » Critical

Newly installed lightbox2 in /modules/ dir. All uploaded .js files from scriptaculous-drupal.zip in modules/lightbox2/js/. Enabled mod in Administer / Modules but cannot get started to configure module because it does not appear in Administer / Site Configuration. First time this has ever happened where an installed module just did not appear in Administer List or By Module at all. What is wrong here?

brookvale: Ensure you have the latest version of Lightbox V2 (5.x-1.1) installed and that you are using the javascript files from http://www.stellapowerdesign.net/scriptaculous-drupal.zip. You shouldn't need to edit the lightbox.js file. In fact the path to the images is no longer set in that file. They are now configured in the lightbox.css file but again you shouldn't need to make any changes here - the path should be automatically detected.

drupalgirl: I'm not sure what the problem is here. I would uninstall the module, remove the directory and completely reinstall it and check that the file permissions are correct. If it still fails, disable the module and then delete its entry from the 'system' table before re-enabling.

Cheers,
Stella
