This forum is for questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site. Don't forget to read the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with every Drupal download.

Index page downloads instead of executes

My entire site works fine except for the index.php, which doesn't execute but rather prompts the user to download it. I've been over my settings time and again and I must be blind.

My .htaccess has:

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

My apache2.conf has:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.cgi index.php index.pl index.xhtml

Permissions check out. What am I doing wrong?

Drupal Upgrade 5.5

We performed Durpal upgrade to 5.5 from 5.1 on the test and deployment machines successfully. When, we repeated the same steps on the Production and Production Mirror, the customized page does not come up. The developer confirmed that Drupal was running looking at the page that came up after the upgrade. If we revert the changes to 5.1, the front page comes up and everything works.

STEPS performed to upgrade:

* logged in as root
* made a backup directory and copied all the files/directories from ../htdocs directory to this backup directory
* Downloaded drupal-5.5.tar.gz to the 'htdocs' directory and expanded it using:

tar -xzvf drupal-5.5.tar.gz

This created a new directory drupal-5.5 under ../htdocs

* shutdown Apache using "apachectl stop". Verified that Apache stopped.

* Copied all the files from 'drupal-5.5' to ../htdocs directory by using the command below:

cp -rfv /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/drupal-5.5/* /usr/local/apache2/htdocs

* copied the .htaccess from the backup directory to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/files as:

cp -fv /backup_directory/htdocs/files/.htaccess /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/files/.htaccess

* copied the settings.php file from the backup directory to /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/sites/default/settings.php as:

Upgrade Failed

I tried updating a website I created, rightgoods.com, from Drupal 5.1 to 5.3 and I got this message:

Upgrading...

Initializing Parameters - Done.

Upgrade failed

The database product_drpl1 is not working properly and the creation of a database backup file has failed. Please contact the sysadmin for further assistance. Include this message for reference.

The initial installation has not been modified.

What could possibly have caused this problem?

After upgrade 5.6: Teasers fine, some nodes empty

I upgraded from 5.5 to 5.6 yesterday, and suddenly some nodes are empty. That is, they are only empty in node view, not in edit mode nor in teaser.

Take a look at: http://www.allaboutchris.net/ and scroll down to headline: "Enable NUM LOCK at Windows Logon".

See, the teaser is there, but open the node and it's empty. It's all there when I enter edit mode.

What could be the problem?

5.3.x => 5.6 .htaccess suddenly doesn't work

Has anyone had problems with this? I upgraded to 5.6, used the .htaccess file that came with the upgrade and now it seems like the Server isn't reading the file.

No re-writes, no nothing. Permissions are 644 -- nothing special there.

"Un-clean" urls work but not "clean" ones. I can't get PHP5 working using 'AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php'.

It's a pain.
