Dear developers,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, kindly show me where would be appropriate if it isn't.
I was just experimenting with my drupal 6 beta1 site and the Views 5.x-1.6 module. I was trying to get the module to work. I changed the info file and added core=6.x . Then I went to the modules page and enabled the views module. After I did this every page I want to go to, including admin pages show a "Page not found". How can I put this back? What has happened? I removed the code for the module and have been looking in the database for a clue (and have removed the module lines in the system table), but nothing seems to work.

Help would be very appreciated!

Thanks a lot
Pierre

As far as I know this version of views is for Drupal 5.2 only. For drupal 6, there is a complete rewrite (not ready yet), that is called views 2.

btw, issue is not critical... :)

Sorry about the critical, I guess it was critical for my site :-)
Can anybody give a hint as to where I should look in the database to fix this problem?
Would it have to do anything with the cache of the pages?

Thanks a lot,
Pierre

I know this works in 5.x, but I can't say it'll work in 6; I haven't looked at the db structure. Hopefully you're running mysql and have the ability to execute statements somehow (mysql command-line or phpmyadmin)

select name from system where name like '%views%';

Your tables may have a prefix. If it's not "system", run "show tables;" to get the name of the system table.

As long as the above select statement returns only views-related modules, and not other modules that for some reason happen to have the word "views in the name, you can run this:

update system set status=0 where name like '%views%';

If pages still won't load, you may need to run

delete from cache;
