After activating the FileField Tokens module, a blank screen is displayed (http://mysite.com/admin/build/modules/list/confirm) , and HTTP 500 errors are returned when trying to access any page. This is the first time i have tried to activate the FileField Tokens module. I have been running with FileField for quite a while.

In order to inactivate the FileField Tokens module i have to manually update the system table and set the status to 0. After which my drupal system is functional again.

all the modules in my system are up to date, below is an extract:

FileField 6.x-3.0
FileField Tokens 6.x-3.0-beta3
Token 6.x-1.11

cheers

Peter

I did as you suggested, many thanks for the tip.

This does raise a general usability question. Normally i simply copy the top level directory from the install file to my modules directory. This overlays what is in the install with what is already in the directory. So in cases like this where a directory is no longer in the install file, the old modules/directories will still be left behind.

I am relatively new to Drupal, so maybe i have misunderstood how modules should be installed. Please correct me if i am wrong.

again, thanks for your solution

Usually you should replace the entire directory, rather than just the files within the directory, this accounts for the renaming or deletion of files. It doesn't really matter what approach you use, just as long as you make your server match whatever is included in the release.
