Upgrading Drupal 4.1 to 4.2 on Debian Unstable

By usharf on 22 Aug 2003 at 18:29 UTC

I have 4.1 and need to upgrade to 4.2. The update.php seems to offer some upgrade paths but not from 4.1 to 4.2 and the Upgrade to CVS seems to mess up my installation.

I've installed from scratch and would like to know how to move on with this. I've also tried the update.php availabe with the 4.2 tarball, with no luck. When I upgrade either way I end up with a message saying I'm not authorized to access the page.

This is my phpinfo() -- partial

access denied explanation

You need to be logged in as admin to update the site. Either this, or you need to comment out the access check in update.php, which is near the bottom of the file (the page says this, if you look). This is to prevent people running arbitrary updates on your site. Make sure you uncomment the access check when you've finished.
