Strange behavior. Are you getting an error message? If you have access to cPanel and phpmyadmin, you could go and reset the enabled flag in the table, within the database. If you are going to do this, I STRONGLY advise that you totally backup the database before doing this. You can use phpmyadmin to do this.

Didn't you read the message saying:
Please also be aware that you may lock out yourself if you disable or delete the modules responsible for the module management itself.
On the first screen in the ACP, under "Board Settings", the third option is "Disable board:".

To re-enable all the modules:
Go to phpMyAdmin -> select your database -> click the SQL tab -> and enter this:

Code: Select all

UPDATE phpbb_modules SET module_enabled = '1', module_display = '1';
(if your table_prefix is something other than "phpbb_", edit phpbb_modules to match what you are using.)

Also go to the ./cache folder in your web server, and delete the data_modules_acp.php file
