Management menu not created properly on upgrade

By andylhansen on 11 Apr 2011 at 19:04 UTC

I did a test upgrade of my site to Drupal 7, and the "management" menu did not get created in the same way that a Drupal 7 install from scratch would. This is a problem, because the toolbar that appears at the top of the page is empty, except for the home button, and the logout button. The reason nothing shows up is because the root menu link to the "admin" page was not created by the system module. There weren't any errors given by the upgrade script.

Does the management menu get created from one of the drupal 6 default menus? I tried searching through the upgrade code, but I could not see how the management menu was getting setup by the Drupal 7 upgrade scripts.

Restore the links by executing the following SQL command in phpmyadmin:

DELETE FROM menu_links WHERE module = 'system'

Then you need to visit /admin/config/development/performance and clear the cache.

This works but until you

This works but until you cleared the cache there is a WSOD with "Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /***/d7/modules/system/system.module on line 2100" which makes it impossible to clear the cache from the interface. But cache can be cleared from the database or drush and then all is ok.

Question: will this DB deletion work for other menus that are having problems? I have edited my primary menus and some items have disappeared but are in the DB.
