i installed module photos which seemed to work. then I tried changing the config for upload photo. it complained about
not having an entry for "slide default music ". Now I think the db is messed up because when I click on "latest albums" i see
two listings for my album and when I click on view album I get a blank page.

also while I can view the photos via image upload I don't see any thumbs just the red (i cant find an image ) x.

so I guess my question is, what do I need to do to recover? how do I uninstall a module and delete rows/tables out of the
db? or is there some other way to fix this.

Thanks.

ok, I made the change from here

http://drupal.org/node/396322

and slide show is now working.... but view album is blank. I could really use some help here.

I was told I had not given enough information to be of much help.

I installed photo album 6.x-2.6 beta3. I installed dfgallery and I have installed imagecache 6.x-1.6 (I'm not sure if this module has any barring but for completeness I thought I should throw it in.

I uploaded photos into an album. page and teaser settings are set to "display cover"
I can see the cover image when I click on "latest albums" from the navigation menu. but when I click on the album "cover" link I get a blank page. If I click on the album name (below the cover ) I get to the album and see the "cover pic" and at the bottom
3 links ( add comment , view album, and slidshow )
when I click on view album, I get a blank page ( not a surprise as it seems to be the same link the cover pic uses )
when I click on slideshow everything works ( that is the slideshow comes up and I can see all the pictures. )
when looking at the latest pictures ( from the album-> latest album ) I do see the pictures listed and can click on each picture and it displays that picture. however when I click on the "all sizes" link I also get a blank page.

I was hoping this might be a known issue that would have a quick fix or something I just mis configured.
since I did get slideshow to work I no longer think the DB is messed up.

anyway, thanks for your time reading my post and apologies for being too brief with my problem description.

p.s. I did open an issue on this ( http://drupal.org/node/617446 ) as its looking more like a code issue (though I"m sure it
could be a configuration issue as well since its been about 6 days since my first Drupal installation ).

Thanks again.

Not a solution but some ideas:
- you might have to do a 'batch update' or to clear your caches
- you have to check 'admin/settings/file-system' and 'admin/settings/photos' (compare #545704: Uploaded photos not displaying when photo access module is activated)
- it could also be a problem with your file/folder permission
- after some configuration changes, it might be better to start from scratch
- please check the drupal database with a database tool (e.g. phpmyadmin or mysql-admin)
- a special issue of the server

ok, ran the batch update but it did not help. view album still gives a blank page... infact when I did a view source the body was blank.

I have been looking at the #545704 but don't quite understand what was done. I'm not sure what the author means by "changed the primary link" I'm still new to drupal so I don't know what that means though I posted a request for clarification.

I don't think its a perm issue because when I look in mysite.com/site/default/files/photos/image_%uid I see the pictures there and the thumbnail directories as well. They are all owned and be read by apache so I think thats good. also shows the pictures are being stored and the thumbs are being created.

I don't know anything about phpmyadmin or mysql-admin are they part of drupal ? or a standalone app?
thanks for your time.

According to #545704: dailypress defined a link to "http://www.example.com/photos". I don't know exactly where he did this, a assume he configured this link as the start page. This link is not useable with the actual version of album photos, so he had to modify this link. I think, this is a very special problem.

The tools phpmyadmin and mysql-admin are special database tool. These tools are not part of drupal. Depending on the database of your server (mysql or postgresql), you have to choose a matching tool. Sometimes your webhoster provides a special tool (e.g. as part of confixx). If you're using drupal on your own PC or your own (dedicated/virtual) server, you might have to install such a tool. On linux, you can use the distributions package management for this.

There is also a new topic at #545704: Uploaded photos not displaying when photo access module is activated. There might be an issue with the combination of 'photos access' and 'album photos'. I generally activated 'photos access' module also but disabled 'album photos' at admin/settings/privacy. To configure permissions, I use 'content access' instead.
