I tried to do the upgrade from 6.10 to 6.11 and it wasn't working (I got a blank screen at update.php). I realized that some core modules were in modules/drupal-6.10/modules instead of modules/ (that was also referenced in the system entry of the DB).

I don't know how they got there and I was wondering if I can correct that since it seems to interfere with the update. I've deleted the folder, cleared the cache and changed the filename references in the DB, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Have you ever seen a similar problem?

Thanks.

This happens more often that I would expect. Maybe because of mouse slip in the FTP window. Or maybe because of using some script intended to upload individual modules and not a whole Drupal installation.

See a recent discussion here: http://drupal.org/node/454590

Hi

Remove the "drupal-6.10/modules" folder from the site in "modules" folder, this is the main problem with your site.

You need to upload the entire Drupal 6.12, except for the "sites" folder.

Thank you for your replies. I finally got it working. Here's what I did:

1. Delete the folder

2. Run the SQL query "UPDATE system SET filename = replace(filename,"modules/drupal-6.10/modules/","modules/");" on the DB

3. Clear the cache

4. Reload the modules page

I should be able to do the update now.
