Why is it wrong to upgrade this way

Hi,

So I've been playing with the 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade for the last few hours. I followed all the steps and messed up somewhere... twice... lucky for backup I restarted and I did it my way. I understand it is wrong to do it this way but everything seems to work fine, can someone explain to my why I shouldn't do it again?

Search no longer works after upgrade to 5.7

Hi - after upgrading to 5.7 last week I notice that search no longer works on my site. When I enter in a search term that successfully pulled up results in the past, now nothing is returned - the screen refreshes, but no errors are shown. Advanced search exhibits the same behavior. Anyone else have the same problem? I've checked all modules and everything appears to be enabled. The one strange thing is that the search module under core, while checked, is grayed out so I cannot uncheck it. Not sure if this is somehow related.

Thanks for your help!

Can't Edit Users!

Hi,

I've made my site live by moving from the /dev directory to the root. Despite the path being changes in settings; there are no end to the odd errors I'm seeing.

The most serious at the moment is that all information about user roles seems to have been stripped from the site.

When, as admin, I try to edit the user to give them their permissions back; all I get is "Validation Error. Please contact the webmaster if this error persists". Well I am the webmaster and I haven't got a clue!!!!

Upgrade from 4.7 to 6.1 problem

Hi,

I have attempted to upgrade my site from Drupal 4.7.x to Drupal 6.1. I am using Apache2Triad (Apache2, PHP5, MySQLI am running into serious trouble. Hope you can help.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Logged in to my site
2. Backed up all my files and database.
3. Followed instructions as good as possible (I didn't have a standard 4.7 theme, so what I did was to edit variable "default_theme" and changed from s:2:"td" to s:10:"bluemarine".
4. Deleted ALL files in the installation folder.
5. Copied all new files into installation folder.
6. Copied my files directory over again.
7. Copied my sites directory over again.
8. Ran update.php file.

At this point, I only get a completely blank screen. Searching the Drupal site gives me results about memory limits and ensuring error reporting is on, etc.

When I run update again, after memory limit was set to 32MB and error reporting was switched on, I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _system_theme_data() in D:\Web\htdocs\sites\oldtd-sa\includes\theme.inc on line 431
