I'm trying to incorporate Flash onto my Drupal Website and I have an ebook that describes the use of an older version of the Services module (I believe it's 6.x). But whenever I click off the checkbox to enable it and hit save configurations, it comes up as disabled right after. Drupal also tells me to update to the latest version of CTools but that takes me into an awful cycle, since CTools7.x isn't compatible with the version of Drupal I'm using and the latest version of Drupal isn't compatible with the latest version of CTools. I spent an hour in that cycle and now I'm back to where I can't enable the Services module.

6.x and 7.x refer to the Drupal version with which these modules are compatible, the versioning after that is an indication of the module version. Usually when a module gets more functionality, the version number goes up.
For more information about the Drupal version numbering visit http://drupal.org/documentation/version-info

Make sure you have the right version of Drupal core (6.x I guess you're using?), the Services module, 6.x-2.4 or 6.x-3.0rc1 and Ctools 6.X-1.8.

I'm using Drupal core 6.14, CTools 6.x-1.8 and Services 6.x-3.0-rc1. Still having this problem. Any other suggestions?

Never mind I got it to work. Had to update to the latest dev version of CTools.

I tried the following combinations of versions unsuccessfully (I cannot enable services module).

drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.8 + services 6.x-3.0-rc1
drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.8 + services 6.x-3.x-dev
drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.8 + services 6.x-2.4
drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.x-dev + services 6.x-3.0-rc1
drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.x-dev + services 6.x-3.x-dev
drupal 6.2 + ctools 6.x-1.x-dev + services 6.x-2.4

Can anyone help suggest what I should do? Thanks in advance..

I'm experiencing the same problem with Drupal Commons.

I'm running Drupal core 6.22, DC version 1.7 and I've tried both CTools 6.x-1.8 and CTools 6.x-1.x-dev and multiple versions of Services.

Strange thing is that I can enable some modules that are dependent upon Services (like Privatemsg Service and OAuth Authentication (although I've disabled all dependencies when trying to enable Services).

I'm getting the following error when CTools 6.x-1.8 is enabled: "Please update CTools module to latest stable version (minimum 6.x-dev March 09). (Currently using CTools 6.x-1.8)"

Never run into this problem using Drupal for 3+ years now and log files are not helpful.

Any clues?

drupal 6.22 +
ctool: 6.x-1.x-dev +
services 6.x-2.x-dev

I'm super newbie and not a developer, so I'm afraid I can't help much. I recalled getting that error too. All I did was changing combination of different versions of different modules.

Thank you ne wne wuser.

This was about the *only* combination left I hadn't tried. It worked on Drupal Commons too!

I appreciate you making this post.

Problem solved!!

sorry to highjack the post, but do you guys know what to do with Services? I have no idea how to start. I just want to retrieve node information depending on the url parameters.
