After updates (D6.17 --> D6.19, contrib mods including Date and Calendar), Content Profile nodes could no longer be edited. They still could be viewed, but trying to edit (or create new one) generated "Page Not Found" error. Also, the core "Add user" functionality likewise produced the 404 error.

After many days of troubleshooting, I have determined that the problem module was either the Date and/or Calendar module (both were the July dev release). When I disabled those two, functionality returned.

TROUBLESHOOTING: On my dev site, I uninstalled the modules (through the module page), deleted the module folders, and deleted all references to those modules in the Systems db table. Then, reinstalled the release version for each. Content Profile and "add user" still work. However, this would require me to recreate all of my custom dates and calendar views.

So, on my dev site, I then imported (precisely, restored through Backup/Migrate module) last night's live site backup and simply reinstalled the Content Profile module, then ran update.php -- so that I'd have my Date & Calendar customization. Dev site now successfully running with release versions of both.

QUESTION: For my live site (in maintenance mode), is it safe to simply delete the Calendar (and Date) module folder and upload the release version folder, then run update.php? In otherwords, the normal process for updating a module, even though I am downgrading the module.

Do I need to delete any references of the module(s) in the System db table or anywhere else?

PHP 5.2.14

Title: Breaks Content Profile: Warning & Question » This might be my issues as well...

I *think* this might be the problem I'm having as well, but I have been searching for answers in "content profile" threads. I have a site that had been working fine 6 mths ago (this functionality is only used periodically when drafting new users), and since then have been applying updates.
Now users with specific role cant save content profiles - get redirected to "Page not found".
However User1 can save his own content profile - I have been assuming it was a content profile permissions issue somehow - but what OP describes is close to my problem. and I am using Date and Calendar on this site as well...

You can test it easily enough by simply disabling the Calendar and Date modules. If problem resolves, you got your answer.

I had started woring through the fields, and eventually found that it was a Calculated Field that was causing me the problem. I deleted the calculated field from the content type, and the content was able to be saved again. Unexpected, as I had not changed that calculation since the original build... but something that has been updgraded over the last 4-6 months does not like it.
Luckily I can live without that field for now, so will likely just leave it removed.
Note that it was a calculation of AGE, based on a Date of Birth field - that is using Date module. So maybe there is still some relationship with date. I'll have to come back to those diagnostics after I get the site up and running without the field.

update: I have never been able to resolve this issue. Had to remove the calculated field. Had other priorities so have had to move on. Will try to circle back and work this out at some stage in the future

Unfortunately the Drupal 6 version of the Date module is no longer supported. That said, we appreciate that you took time to work on this issue. Should this request still be relevant for Drupal 7 please feel free to reopen it. Thank you.
