I installed the latest Shadowbox update, and at the same time replaced the version of the Shadowbox plugin I am using, as per the notes in the issue thread related to the Sizzle.js etc. issues.

Since then I am unable to have Shadowbox active without errors. I have completely cleaned my database and manually uninstalled Shadowbox and even now with a fresh install am unable to get Shadowbox to work any more. Any attempt to enable it causes access errors in the admin side of my Drupal install, and produces this error in the Logs :

require_once(modules/shadowbox/shadowbox.install) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.COM/subdomains/games/httpdocs/engine/includes/install.inc on line 718.

Any help appreciated.

(Note : I have added a comment about this in the Sizzle.js issue thread also - sry for the noise, but I am not sure if it's related to that or a separate issue so though I would flag it in both.)

I just noticed that some of the files in the recent module update don't have read permissions on them.
I changed this with a chmod 644 * and it seems to have fixed the problem.
Is this a valid fix?

chmod 644 *
solved the issue for me on a fresh drupal installation with shadowbox 6.3.2

original ls -l gives:

This is by doing a checkout from CVS.
