Ok. I have tred this several times and searched the forums. So I am sorry if I am going over old ground.
I am using Drupal 5.1 installed via fantastico.

I downloaded TinyMCE version 5x 1.9
I extracted that file into drupal/modules.

So the file structure is
drupal
.........modules
....................tinymce
..............................plugins
..............................po
..............................and the plugin reg and readme files
..............................tinymce.info
..............................tinymce.install
..............................tinymce.module

Then I download the TinyMCE 2.1.2 and as per the instructions as I am reading them extract THAT into the tinymce module so now I have

drupal
........modules
...................tinymce
.............................plugins
.............................po
.............................tinymce
.......................................docs
.......................................examples
.......................................jsscripts
.......................................changelog
.......................................readme

So then I go to admin/modules and enable TincyMCE. Then go to access control and enable Administrator to use tinyce
then I go to TinyMCE settings and create a profile..using my username, click the Administrator checkbox (it is the only one I have given permission to)
default state = enabled
allow user to change default = true
show disable enable rich text editor = true
language = en
safari browser warning = false

Visibility
Show on every page except listed pages ( with listed pages box blank)

BUttons and Plug Ins
Various buttons and plugins checked for use

CSS
use theme CSS

That is everything I did.
I go to create content and there is nothing.. no sign of TinyMCE at all

Any ideas? Have I dont something fundamentally and hopefuly simply wrong?

Thanks guys

John Cutliffe

I'm also having the same issue.

I had to install the module in /sites/all/modules/tinymce instead of modules/tinymce. That made it work.

Correct, you need to place the module into sites/all/modules/

That's a damn old installation description.
