Upgrading Drupal

I installed Drupal 4.6.3 and everything worked fine until one day it just stopped sending passwords to new users. After a lot of searching I decided to upgrade to solve the problem. I tried a manual upgrade but it didnt work so I restored from backup. I then tried an upgrade with Fantastico. This solved the password problem, but the site doesn't seem to be 4.7.3 even though my changelog.txt seems to think it is.

Is there another way I can tell what version of Drupal is running? Is there something I need to do to get 4.7.3 functionality?

I finaly decided to upgrade my drupal site from 4.6.3 to 4.7.3.

After backing up my site, I restored it on my local machin (drupal 4.6.3) without problems. Next I followed the upgrade guide and it seems the update.php script does something with my data base data.

After the upgrade, all non english characters (such as Swedish ÅÄÖ) gets displayed wrong (the character Ä looks liek ä etc)

I've searched the forums and found some similar problems:

• http://drupal.org/node/56112
• http://drupal.org/node/84064

On my production site i have:

PHP 5.1.4
MySQL Server 4.1.18

mysql> show variables like "char%";

Hi there,

I've got a quite strange problem and can't figure out how to fix it.

I want to upgrade my site from 4.6.7 to 4.7.3, so I did a database dump and tested the upgrade locally. There was one fail in the update:

ALTER TABLE {users} CHANGE `name` `name` varchar(60) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `pass` `pass` varchar(32) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `mail` `mail` varchar(64) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NULL, CHANGE `theme` `theme` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `signature` `signature` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `timezone` `timezone` varchar(8) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NULL, CHANGE `language` `language` varchar(12) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `picture` `picture` varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, CHANGE `init` `init` varchar(64) CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NULL, CHANGE `data` `data` longtext CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT '' NULL

While being logged in as Admin I could work as always. But after logging off, I can't log in anymore. Doesn't matter which user I choose. It tells me:

Sorry. Unrecognized username or password. Have you forgotten your password?

I am sure I used the correct password. Anyways, the password reminder doesn't work, either:

Sorry. The username Sara is not recognized.

I cheched the database entry:

i can't login 'cos i reset pass with password recovery but password recovery doesn't work because i think i did something wrong when editing the recovery messages.

i think this is the worst thing i can have..

can anyone tell me how can i login?there is no other user.
i'm using drupal 4.7.3.

and i'ce tried to change the password of the user by accessing db using phpmyadmin on my ftp. but it didn't work cos i assume the security md5 thing is needed and when i write something to password, it thinks it's the md5 coded pass. so doesn't work..

Hi,

I have just updated several sites from 4.6.3 to 4.7.3. Now with one site drupal is not finding certain pages and I can't login.

The database looks complete. I have searched this site, but I can't find anything close enough to know what I should do to resolve the problem.

Thanks, Jerry
