Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
By dghavens on
I have a database (which includes an older drupal site) that i want to recover--i have downloaded on my desktop…I think I have to migrate through shell as well.
I am pretty new to this.
Dreamhost tells me that I would have to get support from the drupal community about how to configure the older site. They also say I need to know the version.
main goal: see blog posts and content that are on a database that once used drupal
Comments
How new are you?
Hi Drew
Have you used Drupal at all before?
If you have the database and the files, you'll have to alter the settings.php file for your installation to point the Drupal files to the database you've uploaded your old copy into.
If you only have the database, but not the files, you'll have to download the relevant files from drupal.org, unzip them into the correct directories, and then hook up the database as above.
It sounds like you may be in the latter case. If so, you've been told correctly - the first thing to determine is which version of Drupal your database is for. You'd then want to download the most recent minor release of Drupal core, matching the major release for your database. (So, if you find that your database is for Drupal 5.x, you'd want Drupal 5.23, being the latest minor release in the 5.x range). (If it's older than Drupal 5, the numbering is a bit less obvious, but people here can guide you through that particular minefield.)
Depending on how much you've done with Drupal before, and depending on how long you're prepared to spend fiddling and learning as you go, it may be a job you're best off hiring in some help for.
But let's start here: 1. Does your database have a table named "system"? 2. If so, can you paste the results of this query:
SELECT * FROM `system` WHERE name = 'system'This signature is currently blank
thanks for the reply.
thanks for the reply.
my database is 6.x, so that would be 6.31, right?
I am going to ask the dream host support about the latter question. I know they can help me with that--they have been amazing and have taught me a lot.
Correct
Yes - Drupal 6.31 is the current release in the 6.x branch.
You're fortunate - Drupal 6.x is fully supported, so most modules will still be available for download, and the Drupal Security Team take responsibility for ensuring that any vulnerabilities are fixed and disclosed properly for all 6.x modules and themes.
You'll be able to do this - start with core, and then work out what other modules the site needs (the system table will give you a clue) and add the code for those one by one.

what would be my next step?
what would be my next step?
1) Create subdomain?
2) download drupal 6.31 onto the subdomain through FTP? [excuse my lack of correct terminology]
3) migrate database through shell or FTP?
4) configure database with new drupal download on new subdomain?
Next steps
1) Create subdomain: Yes
2) download drupal 6.31 onto the subdomain through FTP: Yes
3) migrate database through shell or FTP: Not quite. Create a new database in your Dreamhost account. Create a database user as well. Give that user full permissions for that database. Then use the phpMyAdmin tool Dreamhost give you, select your newly created database, and import the database dump that you have (as a .sql file, or as a .zip or .gz file).
4) configure database with new drupal download on new subdomain: Yes. More exactly, edit the sites/default/settings.php file. Find the database section, and put your new database credentials in there. Change the $update_free_access line from FALSE to TRUE
Then navigate to your subdomain in a browser, and run http://subdomain.example.com/update.php. With a bit of luck, it'll walk you through updating the database from 6.26 to 6.31.

thanks,
thanks,
I made the subdomain www.argue.americancriminallawreview.com
I downloaded drupal 6.31 onto the subdomain through filezilla.
I created a new database in my dream host account (with a user who has full-access). I have my old database that has the drupal files on there that I want to recover, it is 147 mb. I also have a backup from a dump on my desktop.
I am not at the 4th step. I really don't want to screw up the 3rd step. I can't import it through phpmyadmin, I was told. I need to transfer it with terminal on my mac? is that right?
Yes, or ask for help
Have Dreamhost given you SSH (terminal) access?
If so, you can upload the database dump (.sql.gz) through Filezilla, then use your terminal access to restore it into your newly created database.
If not, the only reason you can't use phpMyAdmin -> Import would be the size of the database. I'd ask Dreamhost support team to restore the database dump into the database you've just created.
Even if you have got terminal access, my advice would be to ask them to do it for you.

Yes, I have full terminal
Yes, I have full terminal access.
I put in this code to terminal mysql -h mysql.americancriminallawreview.com -u amercrim
> -p***** americancriminallawreview < aclr_drupal.sql
I wasn't sure if it worked, so I reached out to dream host.
They replied:
Hello,
I see you've had some trouble importing the .sql file, though I do see a
large number of tables imported into your database. Your command looks
perfectly correct, so it should be able to import without any issues.
If you're still having trouble, let me know and I can go ahead and retry
the import myself to see what the problem may be. If you have any other
questions or concerns, feel free to respond back and I'd be glad to help
out.
Thanks!
Dan H
What would be the next step? It seems like the transfer worked in phpmyadmin, the new database is now the same size as the old.
settings.php
Next is to make sure the database: name, username, password in settings.php match those of your newly imported database and the user you created.

Dream host support said they couldn't find a settings folder. what should i do?
Folders, not tables
Those are the tables in the database.
You're looking for folders in the file system, not tables in the database.
If you extracted the Drupal 6 files to {drupal_root}, you're looking for a folder named {drupal_root}/sites/default. Within that will be a file named settings.php. (Or, possibly, settings.php.default that is a template which just needs renaming to settings.php)

I uploaded the new drupal 6
I uploaded the new drupal 6 download to the subdomain.
I haven't done anything with the site files yet. Should I upload them all to the subdomain through filezilla?
I found the folder in the site files:
It is called default.settings.php:

* IMPORTANT NOTE:
* This file may have been set to read-only by the Drupal installation

* to this file is a security risk.
*
* The configuration file to be loaded is based upon the rules below.
*
* The configuration directory will be discovered by stripping the
* website's hostname from left to right and pathname from right to
* left. The first configuration file found will be used and any
* others will be ignored. If no other configuration file is found
* then the default configuration file at 'sites/default' will be used.
*
* For example, for a fictitious site installed at
* http://www.drupal.org/mysite/test/, the 'settings.php'
* is searched in the following directories:
*
* 1. sites/www.drupal.org.mysite.test
* 2. sites/drupal.org.mysite.test

*
* 7. sites/www.drupal.org
* 8. sites/drupal.org
* 9. sites/org
*
* 10. sites/default
*
* If you are installing on a non-standard port number, prefix the
* hostname with that number. For example,
* http://www.drupal.org:8080/mysite/test/ could be loaded from
* sites/8080.www.drupal.org.mysite.test/.

* Database settings:
*
* Note that the $db_url variable gets parsed using PHP's built-in

* or database name contain characters used to delineate
* $db_url parts, you can escape them via URI hex encodings:
*
* : = %3a / = %2f @ = %40
* + = %2b ( = %28 ) = %29
* ? = %3f = = %3d & = %26
*
* To specify multiple connections to be used in your site (i.e. for
* complex custom modules) you can also specify an associative array
* of $db_url variables with the 'default' element used until otherwise
* requested.
*
* You can optionally set prefixes for some or all database table names
* by using the $db_prefix setting. If a prefix is specified, the table
* name will be prepended with its value. Be sure to use valid database
* characters only, usually alphanumeric and underscore. If no prefixes
* are desired, leave it as an empty string ''.
*
* To have all database names prefixed, set $db_prefix as a string:
*
* $db_prefix = 'main_';
*
* To provide prefixes for specific tables, set $db_prefix as an array.
* The array's keys are the table names and the values are the prefixes.
* The 'default' element holds the prefix for any tables not specified
* elsewhere in the array. Example:
*
* $db_prefix = array(
* 'default' => 'main_',
