I have tried to upgrade from 4.6.6 to 4.7.0 three times now. Every time I end up with a front page that looks like this:

Home
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a
12next ›last »

No theme, no menu, no nothing. Just unthemed nodes that don't appear to be displaying their relevant information.

I have disabled all third-party modules and themes. I have even run through every configuration page and re-saved the configuration information in order to make sure there's nothing lingering from those other modules.

When I run the upgrade script, the version that is detected is 133. As it runs, I do not see a changing percentage indicator. It immediately goes to 100% complete. I get no mysql query list, either. But I also get no errors from the upgrade script, but there are errors in the logs, most of which read things like:

Unknown column 'access' in 'field list' query: UPDATE users SET access = 1148531311 WHERE uid = 1 in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

or

Unknown column 'theme' in 'where clause' query: SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE theme = 'bluemarine' AND status = 1 ORDER BY region, weight, module in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

What am I doing wrong here? I have currently rolled back to my 4.6.6 backup. How should I proceed? I really want to upgrade to 4.7.0 ...

It would be really helpful if I at least knew what I should expect to see. The upgrade video suggests that I should see a list of MySQL queries after the upgrade script is run. I do not see any such thing. Is this normal?

Same problem here even with 4.7.1, firstly the site displayed a list of 'n/a' with 4.7 and 'by Anonymousn/a' with 4.7.1 then I ended up with a blank page after trying to login. The database version detected for the upgrade on my install was '137' I'll try to get more information before filling a bug report. For the moment I'm stuck with 4.6.7

I'm also experiencing this behavior.

have you tried locally on a test system? It sounds like something is not quite running for you. Are you removing all the Drupal files except your files directory before you do this? Do you have any permissions modules or odities in htaccess?

I use these instructions. http://drupal.org/node/29161

This problem went away for me when I switched to a newer mysql than 3.

I went from a RHEL 3 system with mysql 3.x and php 4.7 to an FC4 system with mysql 4 and php 5, and my problems went away. Note that I moved a mysql dump and a tar of the drupal dir when I moved it, so the only changes were environmental.

When the upgrade failed for me, it printed a 'unspecified error' message in red in a box.
