Hello. I'm not a programmer and have been using Drupal 6 for about 10 years. I have been using the simplicity of modules, drag and drop and just producing simple content. My site content mainly consists of pdf files, jpg and internal text. Since I know already migrating my site from Drupal 6 to 9 is going to be a rather complex operation, I would just like to migrate my users and passwords and rebuild my site manually. I think I remember an issue with passwords not exporting easily and don't know if was ever worked out.
I'm fooling around with an AWS Lightsail account. I've used their OS + Drupal install to install Drupal 9. It installs 9.0.1 by default using their Bitnami tool, so when I hit my brand-new site, Drupal immediately tells me to update Drupal for security reasons.
So I try to update it using Composer (as Drush isn't supported?), but it won't budge from 9.0.1. When I put in:
Basic Drupal site. Default theme. Upgraded manually from 9 through 9.0.3, 9.0.5, then 9.0.6. 9.0.3 worked. After 9.0.5, Drupal complained it was still at 9.0.3. Now that it is updated to 9.0.6, the admin pages still warn about an update required and still say it is at 9.0.3.
I double checked both updates by downloading the site and searching for 9.0.3. Not there. Everything is 9.0.6.
