I have a fresh install of XOOPS 2.0.9.2 I installed News 1.1. Then I upgraded News 1.1 to News 1.2.1 by following the instrutions and just overwriting the files. After doing the module update I get a blank page on my homepage. I also noticed that when I uploaded the upgrade that I could not see my unistalled modules that I had on my server -- you know the ones beneath the active modules in system>admin>modules.

So I deleted the news module in FTP and then I could see my home page again.

But when I tried to upload and install News 1.1 again XOOPS told me that I could not install News because table xoops_stories already exist.

on a fresh install there was no need to install news 1.1 1st.. you should have just overwritten all the files and then installed it..

if u installed news 1 1st, you will have to go thru the upgrade procedure for updating 1 to 1.2.1 which i think is by using the upgrade script aswell..

to remove the table u need to go into phpmyadmin..

as u simply removed the folder the tables have been left on the server..

i should 1st try and copy the original news 1 files back to the server and then check your site.. the news module should then appear as installed..

then you should be able to go into admin and uninstall it..

Thanks
