site down after phpmyadmin module deactivation
hello folks,
as i am quite new to mysql-issues and the database, i don't know how to put my side to life again..
as i had troubles with the installation of the views-module (all the other first 7 modules did install with no problems) i wanted to deactivate it.
because i couldn't access my /admin/modules-frontend anymore, i used instructions on
http://www.drupalcenter.de/handbuch/11551 (german language)
to deactivate the views-module(s) in the database using phpmyadmin. (open phpmyadmin, select system, find the views-moulde, deactivate it)
after that, the site is down completely (drupal error-site is showing "site down" because of technical issues).
so, what to do now?
should i use the confixx-backup i did three days ago or would that cause other unexpected issues?
could it be, i should have taken the site down with my admin-frontend, before changing the database?
thank you for reading anyhow

uninstall?
not sure what you've done, but if you can get in via phpmyadmin that way, try dropping all of the views tables, remove the views folder in modules (via ftp) and then try running update.php (put in the full path yoursite.com/update.php) and see if it lets you run through the process..

thank you
for your hints, but when i dropped the 3 views table entries and deleted the views-folder, it didn't let me do the update.php; firefox shows an empty page, and opera say, adress is not reachable.
after that i deleted the three views-entries in in the system-table, but same result..
there is now only the cache_views-table left, i don't know if it really belongs to the views-module.
should i delete/drop it also?
or is it a good idea to do a restore via confixx - i have no idea if confixx will restore the database or only the drupal-filestructure..?
edit: i just tried out a complete confixx-restore, filestructure is the same as one week ago when everything was fine, but that would not change anything, update.php is still not usable.
