Ok, so this morning I came to work, it was early and there was this email saying that CKEditor can be updated.

So I just did it without really thinking : no backup, no reading instructions, nothing...
Some day you just better stay in bed :/

So now I can' t access the site anymore. When I try to access it with a browser I get :

The website encountered an error while retrieving http://home.mysite.com/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.
Here are some suggestions:
Reload this webpage later.
HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

in apache error.log I have this :

PHP Fatal error:  require_once(): Failed opening required 'includes/ckeditor.user.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/drupal/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor.module on line 48

Is there a way to disable CKEditor directly in the database ? (I read someone advising this in ' system' table, but didn't find the specific entry he was talking about)

Is there a way to activate a ' safe' mode so I can connect to the admin pages again ?

Anything else ?

Thx for any assistance !

Ok here is some update :

I managed to regain access to the admin interface by :

-commenting line 48 in ckeditor.module
-restarting apache (probably not needed)

This give me a page full of PHP error message, but at least I got access to the admin interface !

I disabled CKeditor module, put the site out of maintenance, and here we go : Site is available again.

BUT without an editor, and here is the issue :

I can' t re-install CKeditor !
When I try I get a " CKEditor is already installed." error message

Any idea ?

Any assistance welcome !
