Webform and Views modules won't update

veg-o-matic - November 11, 2009 - 17:27

Happens every time I try to run updates; some of the modules and themes work, some of them don't.

This time around, it's views 6.26->6.27 and webform 6.27->6.28->6.29. I followed directions and ran update.php and CCK and the Zen theme updated just fine, but view and webform didn't. Actually, webform has been giving me trouble for a couple of weeks, first when I tried to update from 6.27 to 6.28, and then again when I tried to update to 6.29.

Is it worth updating again, this time choosing the specific version(s) instead of letting Drupal find them?

Am I the only one having this problem so consistently? Makes me think I'm doing something wrong, but if that were the case, then nothing would update properly, don't you think?

Any help is sure appreciated!

Misfiled directory

I bet you accidentally stored a copy of the old version inside some other folder. I do it all the time

Look in your system table in the db and see what path is being used for those modules.

Thanks for the help! That wasn't the problem, but it helped me find it--I had left the original webforms and views folders in /sites/all/modules, renaming them orig_webforms and orig_views. Apparently, Drupal doesn't like that! Moved the "orig_" folders elsewhere (just in case), reran update.php and suddenly everything works!

Woohoo!

Glad it worked. Maybe we

Glad it worked.
Maybe we should suggest that the modules page indicate path to the module...
