Upgrading Drupal

I'm in the process of upgrading a rather large production site from 4.6.2 to 4.7.3. Most everything has gone smoothly, except for my attempt to migrate my custom content types from flexinode to Content Construction Kit (CCK).

I have one content type in particular that typically had files attached to it, and while I was able to get all of the basic data from the flexinode tables in the db copied over to the new CCK table (and also copied the files table and all files), attachments for this content type are not showing up. In other words, everything on the nodes appears correctly, but the "attachments" list does not appear (and the attachments are not listed in edit mode, either).

Here are some more potentially relevant facts:

-- I'm just using the core Upload module
-- The files folder has all of the necessary permissions
-- When I create a new node of this particular content type (or any other), attachments are added and viewed without a problem
-- I've had to do most of my updating of database tables manually (i.e., I did a clean install of 4.7.3 and then just imported data from the old database as needed), so it's possible/likely I missed something somewhere (but I certainly can't find where!)

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? If I just knew how/where Drupal (or whatever the relevant module is...I'm not a programmer, and just get lost when looking at the Upload module) searched the database to identify whether or not a node has file attachments, that could be helpful.

I am currently running an old version of Drupal but wish to upgrade to the latest version. I am planning to make a clean install of everything.

However, I would like to keep my image galleries. I am using the Image module and I see that it's been revised lately. I have a bunch of different galleries with a total of about 200 images.

How can transfer my old galleries and images to the new image gallery module?

Many thanks!

Hi there.

I've upgraded from 4.6.9 to 4.7.3. I guess i've done something wrong somewhere along...nothing works anymore. No images, no theme, no blocks, no modules, nothing except empty links, the ones that were contained inside the left sidebar over a white background.

Of course i had previously backedup my database with the phpmyadmin's export option. So i wanted to import this DB in a fresh new database in order to try it on a fresh new test site. Again, with phpmyadmin's import option, i selected my backedup DB. Here's the result:

Error

SQL query:

PRIMARY KEY ( `aid` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT =1;

MySQL said: Documentation
#1050 - Table 'access' already exists

I dont understand why the 'access' table should already exist within a brand new empty database.

I hope this is simple to fix. Otherwise, i've lost my data entirely.

Hi,

I upgraded from 4.7.2 to 4.7.3 on an IIS server.

Before the upgrade everything worked perfectly.

After the upgrade, I'm getting the following warnings and I don't know what they mean nor how to address them:

warning: include_once(./modules/comment.module) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 487.

I'm working on upgrading a copy of my production site, and I have run into the following problem. The passwords on many (most?) of the accounts seem not to be recognized any longer. I have to go in as the admin user and reset the passwords. This is an ok workaround for my admin users, but not for all the registered users of the site.

Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any idea as to what might the cause be?

Thanks,

Steve

In every release I read the text:

For the most trouble-free transition from an existing installation, it is recommended that you first upgrade to Drupal 4.6.8 or Drupal 4.7.2.

Problem is that this advice to first upgrade to the former version appears in all former releases.

At the moment I have an installation with version 4.6.3 and I am in doubt how to upgrade. Should I first upgrade to 4.6.4, 4.6.5, 4.6.6, 4.6.7, 4.6.8, 4.6.9, then continue with 4.7.0, 4.7.1 and finally (pffff) 4.7.3?
