upgrading multi site problem

Having some trouble after upgrading from 4.7.4 to 4.7.5

I'm running three sites from the same code/directory. The three sites are defined with their own configuration files within the /sites subdirectory. Each site has its own database.

I was logged in to one of the sites as the admin user when I copied all the files around. Then I ran update.php and it modified the database, I think three changes, but I didn't write it down. No problems during the update.php and everything on that site seems to be working properly.

I assume I have to run the update.php script for the other two sites, but I can't log in to either one. If I try logging in with a bad password it tells me the password is bad. If I use the correct password, nothing happens - I get the login form back.

I tried changing update.php so that access_check = FALSE but that doesn't work. It looks like it's working with the progress bar and everything, but I don't think it does anything - I've run it several times and each time it still things the system module 183 and 184 changes are required. In any event I still can't log in.

So the question is, how can I find the database changes that will be made? I'll make them manually if that will solve my problem, but I don't know what the changes are.

If I make the database changes manually, is there some other file that has to be changed so the update / version status is set correctly?

Test Site Woes

I am trying to upgrade a Drupal/Civicspace site that I have become the admin for. I followed the upgrade directions and backed up the live site, and then copied the site to another test directory on the same server. The settings file was changed and I can connect to the duplicate db.

HOWEVER:

When I go to the home page I get 'most' of it. The top header image is missing and then any link I click I get a page not found error. It's like the engine isn't running. The live site works great, but the test site is bunk.

Upgrading Process - Documentation light on (need more info)

Here is a copy of the upgrading process from drupal 5rc1 (It's the same text for the previous versions, as far as I can tell). I've intermixed it with my comments, though the entire 'upgrade.txt' document has been reproduced.

UPGRADING
---------

1. Backup your database and Drupal directory - especially your
sites-directory which contains your configuration file and
any added modules and themes.

This makes absolute sense and easy to follow.

As an aside, a question arises though, how is it known what the added modules and themes have been. I suppose this is more an issue after successful upgrade and probably will stand out as the themes and/or modules not there.

2. Log on as the user with user ID 1.

This is where I'm lost. Is this indicating to log into the old version of drupal (the one about to be upgraded) as the user that created it, user 1. Why? The following points or instructions, as far as I can glean, only involve the use of an FTP program to delete and upload files.

3. Remove all the old Drupal files then unpack the new Drupal
files into the directory that you run Drupal from.

If my understanding is correct, effectively delete the root drupal folder that contains all the drupal sub-folders and files. At this point, I'm at a loss as to why Point 2 above is made (logging into the old drupal site as user 1).

Upgrade from 4.6.3 to 4.7.4

I am upgrading the drupal site from 4.6.3 to 4.7.4. After disabling all the non-core module, I installed the new drupal 4.7.4 base and the corresponding files (.htaccess, settings.php, etc.). However, when I call the update.php script, I continuously got the message saying "the page cannot be displayed". Any clue?

Thanks.

Problem with Organic Group upgrade script (from 4.6.3 to 4.7.4)

FYI,
After upgrading our drupal from 4.6.3 to 4.7.4 (MySQL backend) we noticed we could not subscribe users to some of our existing organic groups. The following error messages being logged to the admin log:

Unknown column 'notification' in 'field list' query: SELECT selective AS og_selective, description AS og_description, theme AS og_theme, website AS og_website, register AS og_register, directory AS og_directory, notification AS og_notification, language AS og_language FROM og WHERE nid = 275 in /home/developer/html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 121.
