Hello,

I m a french newbie !! I m trying to install the "panels module"; in the folder I downloaded, i have several files and folders :

panels.module (I put it on the module folder)
panels.install
panels_admin.css

folder : content_types
Folder : images
folder : layouts

I just put panels.module on my module folder on drupal ... I activated the module ! but I had this message :

user warning: Table 'oriental_drupalval.panels_info' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM panels_info ORDER BY title in /home/oriental/public_html/drupalval/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

I don't know how i have to do to install this module ! where I have to put the rest of the files and folders ?

thank you

But try creating a panels subdirectory in your modules directory eg /modules/panels then putting all the files in there.

Try disabling the panels module, make sure you have all the files in that folder, then reenable panels in admin>modules.
You need those extra files to be present in the folder whenever you first enable the module - that's what creates the tables. (Right now it's still just trying your old configuration - you have to start over fresh.)

This message indicates that the database tables are somehow not getting created.

I've seen this happen somewhat randomly; I am unable to reliably reproduce it but I have seen the tables simply not be created.

The solution is to go into MySQL and execute the following query:

DELETE FROM system WHERE name = 'panels';

Then go back to your admin/modules page and activate the module. That usually causes it to try to install the tables.

The other option is to grab the devel module and use its reinstall tables feature.

Thank you for help !

When I paste this code in the query gap :

DELETE FROM system WHERE name = 'panels';

I have a message saying : You have to choose at least one column to display

I'm having the same problem as sheytane with panel module.

I have tried all what is suggested in this post: disable and enable repeatedly but always the same error. Also the DELETE FROM system WHERE name = 'panels'; without results.

I tried to manually create the tables (from panels.install):

      db_query(<<<EOT
        create table {panels_info} (
          did int(10) not null default 0 primary key,
          title varchar(128),
          access varchar(128),
          path varchar(128),
          css_id varchar(128),
          layout varchar(32)
        )
EOT
      );
      db_query(<<<EOT
        create table {panels_area} (
          did int(10) not null default 0,
          area varchar(32),
          type varchar(32),
          configuration longtext,
          position int(5),
          key (did)
        );

but didn't know how to input the last item: key(did). The error was gone, but when trying to create a panel I got an error about the 'did'.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks
