Bear w/me folks, I'm new at all this. But, I tried to follow the instructions to no avail. I placed all the files in the /sites/all/modules/wordfilter/.... Now, I read the README file which says to just "1. Activate as usual." This might be my first mistake because I was under the impression that all I needed to do from this point is go to admin/modules and check the box to Activate it! All I got was a bunch of error code from my database which tells me now "warning : Found row where the auto_increment column has the value 0
status : OK"
After reading more, I find that I was supposed to run the .install file! But, I can't figure out how to do that! If I point my browser to the file I get "no such file found". Keep in mind, I'm running this site from a sub-domain. How should I have run the .install file and did I screw up my db?
#1
it seems that you don't have much experience installing drupal
modules...have you ever installed other modules? Are you
definitely using Drupal 6? What database are you using?
#2
You are correct in your observation of my experience with installing modules...this was the first one I tried...I've only had this site up and running for about 2 weeks! However, I have installed two other modules in the meanwhile, which went without a hitch. This was the only one that gave me any negative feedback so far.
As far as the version, I'm running D6.2 and MySQL database 5.0.45!
Thanks for your response...
#3
are you able to access your database directly? If so then
if you can find out if the table was created or not it would
be helpful. this kind of situation is rather hard to deal
with as I have no problems here and I can't see what your
site is doing....
Can you get to a MySQL shell and run: DESCRIBE wordfilter;
#4
I access my db through phpMyAdmin. I ran a search for the term "wordfilter" which gave me back:
"1 match(es) inside table system"
I did an SQL query on this instance and received this:
SQL query:
SELECT *
FROM `user_drpl1`.`system`

`filename` LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 '%wordfilter%'

That's all I know to do at this point...but hey, jaydub, I appreciate your trying to help on this thing, but right now I have a more pressing need for which I have been trying to get a response for at "forum support".
So, I appreciate your taking the time to work with me on this issue, but my problems with this other issue seems to trump this one at this time. But, believe me, I will be wanting to install this module when I can get this other issue solved.
#5
well from the results above the module definitely did not
install successfully (status of 0 and schema version of -1).
You can you go to /admin/build/modules and try to
install the module again? This time if and when you get
errors on the screen can you take a screenshot of
what you see on the screen and post it here?
#6
Hey jaydub! That 0 status must be the explanation behind the warning I keep getting when I run a check on my "users" table, "Found row where the auto_increment column has the value 0".
But, before I try to install the module again, I really believe I need to get my other issue solved first. (the forum support request I mentioned in my previous post...#4)! I apologize for delaying your efforts but it's been over a week now and I still haven't received any response on that, and it's a higher priority for me right now than this module....I'm basically stuck in limbo right now! All I'm trying to do is move my test site to my root directory but, I believe I'm having a db issue with doing that, and until I can get my site in it's permanent directory, I don't feel comfortable creating any more db issues at this time! Does this make sense?
Anyway, I really appreciate your taking the time to respond to this issue. You don't know how frustrating it is for me to finally get a response from someone and then not be able to work on the problem. :(
#7
I believe that this problem has been solved now. Please
download the latest snapshot from CVS (should be dated
May 20 or 21st).
#8
Thanks jaydub....it loaded just fine this time.
I placed a few words in the list to be filtered to test it out and it's working great.
Now I can allow users to post their comments without administrative approval all the time!
Thanks for your help on all this and once again, I apologize for putting you on hold during this issue.
