newbb module - Selected module does not exist!

I've been using the newbb module for some time and I sometimes get reports from my users about the message: "Selected module does not exist!" when they try to use the module.

The reason for the message is that the module has been deactivated. I simply activate the module again and all is OK. However, a couple of months later the same thing happens again.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on:
1. Why is this happening?
2. What can I do to fix it?

XOOPS version: 2.0.16
PHP version: 4.4.9
MySql version: 5.0.45-log
newbb: 2.02

Never heard about this phenomena.
Check that only webmasters can deactivate the module (permissions for module admin, test with link).
Try to inspect the Apache logs for unusual accesses. Try to isolate the moment where the module got deactivated (should be clear from the content length).

Thanks for those tips. I've checked the permissions and I can confirm that only the Webmaster group has module admin rights and I am the only member of that group.

I've checked the apache access logs for the last 8 days and I find that the only access to modules admin (fct=modulesadmin) is my access when I activated the newbb module again.

And could you find out in the logs when the module got deactivated?

are you using a rewrite mode in your website?
the road of success is always under construction

I have a few URL rewrites in my .htaccess file. For example:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^odeaclan.org$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.odeaclan.org$
RewriteRule ^office.html$ "http://odeaclan.org/xoops/modules/smartpartner" [R=301,L]


This is required because I need to re-direct any requests to old html pages to the equivalent xoops page.

I've searched through the logs for the week before I was told there was a problem and didn't find anything. I will have to go back further because I don't know when the module was deactivated - I only know when the problem was reported to me.
