Unable to edit or create content - drupal 6

Posted by Lofty on December 9, 2012 at 1:41am

After trying to install html mail (and associated modules) I have been unable to create or edit content. Also access on the admin page is limited to only a few functions. I cannot clear cache, update permissions. (and most other tasks are not working) Otherwise the site is working. After I log in create content takes me to blank page, and the edit tab does not show on any pages/ stories. I think the data base may have been corrupted. Assuming this is the problem should I reinstall drupal or try and fix the data base.

thanks in advance

Hi Michael, I am wondering if

Hi Michael,

I am wondering if you are able to run update.php. Perhaps the new modules require DB schema changes and are causing errors without them.

Also, you might take a look at this page on white screen of death errors:

Often going through your web server logs is a first step toward finding the error that is occurring. With that knowledge you may be able to find the specific module that caused the issue.

Hope that helps!

John

thanks - installed back up - all fixed

Hi John thanks for your reply. I had tried update.php with no luck. I ended up getting my provider to install the site back up. Everything ok. I think I was rushing module installation

thanks again Michael
