I am having trouble to enable the modules on 6.1. Nothing is enabled. Is there any other way to enable the modules wiithout using the admin module? Would that be ok to run the install files located under each module?

I suggest diagnosing the problem of modules not being able to be enabled in teh admin UI rather then by passing the admin UI. This could lessen headaches down the road.
thus it would help to understand what server environment you are using Drupal in?

My posts & comments are usually dripping with sarcasm.
If you ask nicely I'll give you a towel : )
what would be the potential issues?
I totally agree with the diagnosis if only I knew where to look.
I have instaled Drupal 6.1 on my localhost (no internet access)
Apache 2.0.63 (Win32)
PHP 5.2.5
phpinfo.php seem to show evertyhing ok (enough memory 128M)
anything else I could provide?
May be /may not be related but I am having other problems as well. Not sure if these have any affect on the module problem.
server is not pointing to index.php by default
click on every link in drupal goes to localhost/?q=admin and so on
Probably the best start for
Probably the best start for a diagnosis is to describe the problem exactly. What do you mean "nothing is enabled"?
Can you see the modules in the
?q=admin/build/modulespage?If you can see them, can you select the ones you want and Save?
If you can't see them, are you getting a white page or just some missing modules.
If only some modules are not listed, are these Drupal 6 modules?
Ok good start - here you go
/build/modules page lists all the optional modules that came with the installation package
some modules such as Color, Comment, Database logging, Help, Menu, Taxonomy and Update Status are already checked.
All modules show 6.1 version
Say, When I check Book or Forum or Blog or Search modules and then "save configuration" button, the "confirm" page loads (?q=admin/build/modules/list/confirm) but the modules I have checked are displayed as unchecked.
am I missing anything else?
Not sure what is causing it,
Not sure what is causing it, so the following is just a lucky try, in case it is a session cookie problem:
Clear your browser's cookies. Then, in your
sites/default/settings.phpfile, near the end, find the line# $cookie_domain = 'example.com';and make it
$cookie_domain = 'localhost';It works now
I have made the changes above along with series of other changes to the Apache's httpd.conf file (turn all the AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All) and turn the browser security low (I am working offline anyways).
These changes seemed to resolve a series of issues I had been experiencing. Thanks.
