Upgrading Drupal

Hello all,

Last night I upgraded my site from 4.6.3 to 4.7.3, and it pretty much worked (after a bit of tinkering w/ the .htaccess file), except two BIG issues (one larger than the other, though):

1 -- most stories/pages are unviewable (the edit and track pages work fine, which I can do as admin, but others surely cannot)
2 -- the "edit" page for users is unviewable (the basic view works fine)

Only four content pages work (to my knowledge), and they are the four pages (nodes 1, 2, 4, 7) that are also secondary links for the whole site. The content for the missing pages is there in mySQL-- I can see it when I browse via phpMyAdmin-- but I can't access most of it via the Drupal-delivered webpages. What could have happened to the ability to access this content? All other specific content (such as newsfeeds, taxonomy, etc. work fine). The update only give me one error, which had to do with the aggregator module-- which I assume is pretty unrelated to this problem. All the old 4.6.x modules are still activated.

Also, here's the "update" script that seems to most pertain to the four pages I *CAN* view (but I don't know if this WHY I can view those):


Update #151

* INSERT INTO {menu} (mid, pid, path, title, description, weight, type) VALUES (88, 0, '', 'Primary links', '', 0, 115)
* INSERT INTO {menu} (mid, pid, path, title, description, weight, type) VALUES (89, 88, 'node/7', 'about', '', 0, 118)

I have recently upgraded site to Drupal 4.7. After the upgrade I have noticed that the users with so-called "Site Administrator" roles do not seem to have the same permission levels as previously. After some investigation, I discovered there is no "User 1" at all so I dont' know how I can go about putting things right.

A number of issues have arisen because of this problem but I am sure that once I can figure out how to add a new "superuser" type user, I can proceed from there to fix things up.

I have flexinode working fine in a couple of sites created from scratch in Drupal 4.7

But I have failed miserably trying to upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7

I have put too many hours reading the long, very very long list of bugs and dozens of posts. I've tried to do things I understood ad things I didn't. No way.

Lucky me, I only had a flexinode event to upgrade, so I copied and pasted everything from my still alive 4.6 site, and I am clean.

But I have another site in 4.6 that relies heavily in flexinodes and copying and pasting is just out of question.

Of course, there are many things I'd like to do with that site that can't be done in 4.6, and I feel it is unfair to my clients to leave them stranded in the past.

So, if you have managed to succeed in upgrading with Flexinode, it would be great if you can post how you did it. It would be awesome if your tips were in plain English, too.

The amount of bugs and comments makes me think I am not alone. I am sure your help will be appreciated by the unwashed masses who can't write a decent line of code. Actually I wonder how many drupallers are dyed-in-the-wool programmers. I have the feeling that Drupal's phenomenal growth has a lot to do with the fact that it allows non-technical people produce work with a depth of functionality th

I've just upgraded my drupal site from 4.6.9 to 4.7.3.

first, i got lots of inoffensive little error messages from mysql like this one.

# /home/****/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.
# user warning: Unknown column 'vid' in 'where clause' query: SELECT * FROM ec_product WHERE vid = 227 in/home/****/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

Always the same unknown column 'vid' in 'where clause' etc.

Well i dont know how to fix those ones so if you guys have an idea, please let me know.

Can anybody tell me where the "drupal_get_html_head()" function is being defined?

Drupal 4.7.3

thanks

I have been having a lot of issues with the 4.7.0 version of the categories module. when i pulled out the latest CVS version of it it complained about things missing from core. I figured it was time to upgrade to 4.7.3.

I am not sure what the upgrade path is - is there one???

This is what i did?

- copied over all of 4.7.3 OVER TOP of my 4.7.0 install
- replaced my settings file with oringal
- ran update.php (which reported it needed to update system module DB to 178

and that was about it:

after i was done:
