Description

Hi,

I disabled the module and now if I click on Home, or go to the root of my Drupal installation, I get "Page not found
The requested page could not be found."

Users coming to my site now get this message. This is a huge problem for us since they cannot login, or do anything else - there is no content, no menus, etc.

Please help asap....

Also, I tried to uninstall the module after disabling it, to hopefully fix the problem, and found there is no uninstall for this module?????

Ok, my bad.

I resolved it by:

Go to Admin > Site Config > Site information and at the bottom of the page you will see:

Default front page: *
The home page displays content from this relative URL. If unsure, specify "node".

I just got the same problem. I solved in the same way.

The reason I found is that: when you disable the module it leaves all of its variables set in the table (prefix)_variable.
In fact it does not have a .install file so it does not implement hook_uninstall() at all.

To cleanup, I deleted all the record with 'name' LIKE 'front_%' from table (prefix)_variable (taking care of possible conflicts - the exact list is in front/front_page.module)
