SOLVED - How do I disable a module using FTP?

Post by JJmac193 »

I installed a module and it said it needed a copuple of items in order to work and it would install them. It broke the site and the backend. How do I disable this module via FTP? I have seen this as a method to fix other module breaking the site problems. I have cpanel access if that can help me?

Some of the content now shows this message;
Warning: include_once(/home/gonebutn/public_html/lib/adodb_lite/adodbSQL_drivers//_datadict.inc) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/gonebutn/public_html/lib/adodb_lite/adodb.inc.php on line 158

Find the offending module, and just rename the directory containing the module source files. it will be in the modules/ directory of your install.

i.e: mv SomeModule SomeBadule.bad
