Upgrading Drupal

I know this is pathetic, but I don't know how to make sure which version I'm running. Is it specified in a file?

I had a problem during my update from 5.2 to 5.3, and I've been scrambling to fix things. Now things are running again, but I'm not sure if I actually managed to perform the update or if I just managed to save the ship ang get 5.2 running again.

That's what happens under the influance of PANIC!!!

Hi,
before upgrading my site to 5.3, I would like to do a test in my test directory.
My live site is mysite.sub.xx and my test site is server.sub.xx/testdrupal

I did the copy of my live site to the test directory, the .htaccess also.
I did the copy of the DB of my livesite to a new DB called testdrupal.
I modified in setting.php $db_url and $base_url.

I upgraded from 5.2 to 5.3 the most conservative way, by installing a clean 5.3 and then copying the /files and /sites and /themes over from my working 5.2 site. The modules under /sites/all/modules were also copied, of course.

I have the most recent release version of Audio (5.x.1.3) from the Drupal site.

I ran the update.php script as user 1 on my trial site.

I immediately started to see things like

* user warning: Table 'drup51-scifi.audio_file' doesn't exist query: SELECT
origname, filename, filepath, filemime, filesize FROM audio_file f WHERE f.vid = 62 in
/var/www/html/drupal-5.3/includes/ database.mysql.inc on line 172.
* user warning: Table 'drup51-scifi.audio_file' doesn't exist query: SELECT
origname, filename, filepath, filemime, filesize FROM audio_file f WHERE f.vid = 62 in
/var/www/html/drupal-5.3/includes/ database.mysql.inc on line 172.

I went into the actual MySQL database and confirmed that there was no such table! Then I looked at the audio.install file in the /sites/all/modules/audio area, and read this:


<?php
// $Id: audio.install,v 1.13 2007/02/15 16:37:47 drewish Exp $

/**
* Install the initial schema.
*/
function audio_install() {
switch ($GLOBALS['db_type']) {
case 'mysql':
case 'mysqli':
db_query("
CREATE TABLE {audio} (

I am trying to install the e-commerce module to my dupal site. I put the module into my sites/deafult/modules folder and I can't get the module to show up on my web page to turn on. I also put the token module in the same folder as well. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,

I just did a CVS update (-> 5.3) on my local copy of my site. This was the first time I tried this. CVS went well (I think, I'm not an expert on that) but my site now gives me a 500 internal server error. Contacting the server administrator won't help 'cause that's me.... Anyone a clue what's happening?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
we have a Drupal 4.7.5 running with 5 sub-sites.
First, I have a general question: can I upgrade directly to 5.3? If not, to which versions do I have to upgrade first?

Then, I would like to know the different steps to do for the uprade. I had a look on different topics adn in the Handbook but am not really sur how to do correctly.

I suppose it should be like followed:
1) login as URER #1
2) turn your sites to offline status
3) backup the sites and the databases
4) turn off all modules that are not core modules
5) switch to the Bluemarine theme
6) download and unzip the latest Drupal release to your computer
7) move your old drupal site to backup directory
8) upload the new version of Drupal to the same place where your old files were located
9) upload the new version of all your contributed modules. Make sure you have the write version matching with your new Drupal version
10) Copy the following files from your backup directory to the Drupal directory:
- .htaccess
- sites/default/setting.php
- any other files you need from the backup directory
11) turn on the modules
12) Run update.php (http://yoursite/update.php). This will update the default Drupal. Run it only once. Click on "run the database upgrade script" and update it
13) Turn on your theme
14) Test

Am I missing a step?
And how to know which are core moduels?
