Hello,

I recently had to take over a messy drupal 6 site form an admin who jumped ship.
So my job at the the moment is a transitional administration.
I do have a background in coding but i never worked with drupal before, so please excuse any stupid questions.

I had to install a bunch of omitted security- and other updates and I recently got a message from the client that the "news" item is missing from the site's menu.
also www.ourdomain.com/news produces an error ( not found ).

Maybe its the updates, but maybe an editor also undid a checkmark at the wrong spot?

What is the most sensible way now for me to try to find the problem?

Thanks a lot!

UPDATE:
I checked the database and i cannot find the node for the item "news".
All the other menuitems I can find ( like home, contact, etc ).
What happened here?

The /news path is almost certainly not a node. A node is a discrete piece of content, and it's likely that the link is intended to point to a list page of some sort. Look and see if the Views module is installed, and if so, create a page of teasers to published nodes of the desired content type.

thanks.
i found a ( fairly old ) database backup and there in nodes, i can find the entry:
nid: 32 vid: 32 type: content_overviews_news which the menuitem points to.
in the current version, this node id has been overwritten with a news item...

so how do i restore that exactly?

thanks a lot!
