OK, I really need some help here from the community.
First some data:
- Drupal 6.10 install on Apache server (ISP = SiteGround)
- I installed the module "Geouser" and then the problems started:
- I got an error for not finding the IP database, so I read the readme... I know :D
- So I made the IPDatabase folder in my /public_html folder and wanted to go to the administer > module section to tell Geouser where the folder is located.
- Then all hell started breaking loose. One screen full of red error messages, and I was unable to even access the admin section of the installation.
- So I thought: I will FTP to my site and manually remove the Geouser module. This worked in the past, at least then I can access admin and figure out what to do next.
- So the folder Geouser was removed from Modules
- Still unable to access Admin section, I get this error message:
The content access permissions need to be rebuilt. Please visit this page.
When I click the link ("this page"), my browser (Safari 4 on MacOS 10.5.6) tries to access the folder, but times out with this error message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://[mydomain]/admin/content/node-settings/rebuild” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.I can still access other nodes/content, but I cannot access *any* admin page.
PLEASE HELP????
Thanks in advance,
Arthur

rather than removing the module, you should disable it by setting it's status to 0 in the system table of the database.
One should also, create a backup before deploying a new module. If you've got that backup, you can roll back if necessary.
