Hello! I just installed the security upgrade from 6.28 to 6.30. Unfortunately, something went wrong with my modules folder, causing a WSOD (ANYTHING on the site is just a blank page). This happened after trying to replace the old module versions with the new ones. I probably did something wrong there (a mistake in moving the folders or something). I then tried to fix the problem by bringing back the old modules folder from a tar archive. Unfortunately, that doesn't help at all, everything is still blank.
I can't understand what's the problem here and how can I fix this.
One thing I maybe did wrong was that I did not switch off all the modules before upgrading.
These are the modules I currently have installed:
README.txt filter messaging taxonomy
advanced_help forum node taxonomy_access
aggregator gallery node_gallery temp
backup help notifications throttle
backup_files image notify token
backup_migrate imageapi openid tracker
block imagecache path translation
blog imagefield php trigger
blogapi img_assist ping update
book insert plupload upload
cck jquery_ui poll user
color jquery_ui_dialog poormanscron user_import
comment jquery_update profile views
contact last_node search wysiwyg
dblog lightbox2 statistics wysiwyg_imageupload
fast_gallery locale syslog xmlsitemap
filefield menu system
With best regards, Mikael

Enabling error reporting shows this on the main page:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function taxonomy_vocabulary_load() in /home/www/modules/forum/forum.module on line 174
And this on the admin page:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'modules/modules/system/system.admin.inc' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/www/includes/menu.inc on line 348
And still more...
Well, I decided to start over, restored all the files to a parallel www root and restored the database. Obviously everything works. If I copy the original modules folder from this backup to the upgraded installation, it will also work. But if I then replace the modules with new versions, it's again WSOD. This time the error on the main page is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function system_region_list() in /home/www/includes/theme.inc on line 1843
And the last one..
Now managed to make it work by copying, rather than totally replacing the modules. AFAIK this is not the right way to do it but at least the site is up. Would still be happy to know what was wrong.
