Hello. I'm trying to upgrade my D4.7 site to D5 (w/o CCK but I might have installed it at 1 point and never used it) ... Everything about the upgrade seems to have went just fine but now I'm trying to create a new content type and just a simple text field associated with it. Supposedly (according to the message in the create content area) it creates the field but when I got to 'list fields' or 'manage fields' nothing shows up... If I check the DB directly I see the content_ tables but don't see any field_ tables...

I'm suspicious that at some point the wrong table was removed or somehow things are corrupt now with CCK tables... Do you by chance have any suggestions as to where I should look? Is there a list somewhere of what tables should be removed so I can ensure CCK has been completely removed then I could just install it again?

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question but thanks for your time,
Chris

Got it.

The tables didn't get created for storing fields and simply installing / uninstalling CCK only recreates the content_ tables... I fixed it by removing all references to CCK from the system table, then re-enabling the module which triggered the .install files to create all the tables needed from scratch.

Closing old issues. None of us is using the D5 version any more, so hard to provide any support. Sorry.
