I attempted to upgrade my 4.6.4 installation to 4.7.4 and I have some issues.

Upon following the upgrade process, I found that my menus were missing on the base page (no login, etc.). The only things listed were main page stories.

I assumed this was a database issue so I editied the update.php to allow running without authentication and executed the script. All went well (e.g. it didn't report any errors).

After that, it was the same result -- no menus.

So, I can't login, can't administer, can't add stories.

I'm getting the following in the error log for each request:

[Mon Nov 13 10:02:28 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] PHP Notice:  unserialize() [<a href='function.unserialize'>function.unserialize</a>]:

Any help appreciated.

I guess I'll bump one more time, then give up on Drupal.

I have somewhat got back on my feet, although much more has to be done as a bunch of links and menus are now different. Basically, here's what I had to do:

1) Edit the index.php file on the main page. On line 14 I added the line:

$user->uid = 1;

so that I could access the admin pages without requiring a login.

2) Manually typed into the address bar the path of /admin/modules and disabled all non-essential modules.

3) Manually typed into the address bar the path of /admin/block and re-enabled the basic blocks, (Navigation and User Login at a bare minimum).

4) Test that the site displays the main menus, etc.

5) Remove the line added in step #1 above.

Then I was able to navigate the site and try to recover much of the settings which were lost in the upgrade.
