I installed the views module and now I get a "page not found" error on every page. (Actually, I loaded a few modules at once, but from searching the web I found that this is the module that is most likely the culprit.) So now I would like to disable this module so that I can get the site back up, but since the Administration section gives me a "page not found" error, I'm not sure how to do it.

To disable a module in this situation you will need to access the database directly. You will need to go to the system table and find the entry to corresponds to the module you want to disable. You will then need to set the status to 0 instead of 1. If you don't have a nice MySQL browser to do it in the query will be something like

UPDATE system SET status=0 WHERE name='views';

I hope that helps.

Hi tjmbct
if your absolutely that the 'views module' is the culprit you could simply delete the module from the modules folder of your site this would get your site up and running :)
