Moving a file between features in Sharepoint

Question

I am deploying a file using a sharepoint feature and the module element. I now need to move this module to another feature but it seems that when I do this sharepoint errors as it has less an entry in the alldocs table. This entry has a leafname refering to the old feature. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks

Answer 1

You'll have to de-activate the previous feature in order to do this. This will un-provision the earlier module elements and allow you to re-provision with the new feature by activating it.
