I'm trying to upgrade my site from D6 to D7. Before doing the first-time upgrade, I go to http://[mysite]/update.php and get rewarded with this message:

Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 2 of 1259 bytes in variable_initialize() (line 919 of /[mysite]/includes/bootstrap.inc).

It appears that the problem stems from the setting of variable front_1_text in the variables table of the database. Indeed, the length of the offending record is 1259 bytes.

Any suggestions on what's doing this and what to do about it?

I apologize, I took over maintenance of the module for the D7 version, and I've never used the D6 version. Could you eventually try the 6.x-2.x version?

Thanks, I'll get back to you on this.

Seems to be OK with the new version. Thanks :-)
