Upgrading Drupal

Upgrade instruction tells me to Back-up, Remove all, Extract all, then configure, and so on..

What happens when I just overwrite new version files to the old folder?

Since I don't wanna reinstall Modules or themes again, I think copying the files should work for upgrading.

What's the minimum upgrading process? Especially without removing all the files and reinstalling everything...

Hi

i recently installed drupal on my webserver, and it worked perfectly. but a part of the imagecache module always showed an error because it doesn't support php 4. so i asked my webshost to upgrade my account to php 5, which they did.

anyways, now the page is not really working anymore, i'm just seeing the content, but the theme is gone and the links are linked wrong.

I tried an upgrade to 5.7. Everything went smoothly, site appeared to be functioning properly, however, when I ran update.php I got a blank screen. Although I didn't encounter any other problems I downgraded my websites back to 5.7 (I tried multiple different sites). Any suggestions?

Hello;

My host just upgraded from PHP 4.x to PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 4.x to MySQL 5.0.27, I'm running Drupal 4.7

When logged in as Admin/user1, I see all the content and everything appears normal but when I'm not logged in and viewing as an anonymous user all the menus and taxonomy terms exist but there is no content. The main page shows the "welcome to a new drupal installation" page. In the access permissions I unchecked saved and rechecked and saved "view content" for anonymous users but that didn't help.

Any suggestions?

Hi, i've upgraded from 5.7 to 6 RC3, and now i can't access to /admin. The rest of the entire site works good, i can also join directly to admin sections, but not to admin root, it don't load.

I've also tried to install 6 RC3 from 0, but i've exactly the same problem.

Someone knows?

Regards.

I searched the forums for this issue and could not find the same problem.

I using Drupal 5.6 (or was using it) on a Hostgator web hosting services. I started with 5.3 and upgraded to 5.5 with no problems. I then upgraded 5.5 to 5.6 with no problems. Last night I tried upgrading 5.6 to 5.7, but ran into a the following problem.

When I attempted to run update (step 10 in the upgrade.txt file), instead of taking me to the normal database screen, the system redirected to the install screen and requested mysql database name, user name and password.
