This forum is for questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site. Don't forget to read the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with every Drupal download.

Upgrade to 4.7 with multiple Drupal sites

I saw a post at http://drupal.org/node/62394 which was similar, but a little different from my case so I'll try a new post.

I have several Drupal sites like this :

http://site1.com
http://site2.com
..
http://siteN.com

They all separate MySQL databases (no "prefixes"), but they all share a common Drupal code base.

I have a couple contrib modules (Gsite and AdSense), and Democratica themes.

I don't think I have "primary and secondary" sites which are referred to in http://drupal.org/node/62394. I'd say all my sites are equal peers.

All the sites have their own settings.php file like this :

drupal-4.6/sites/site1.com/settings.php
drupal-4.6/sites/site2.com/settings.php
..
drupal-4.6/sites/siteN.com/settings.php

Each settings.php looks like this :

$db_url = 'mysql://drupal_site1:PASSWORD@localhost/drupal_site1_databasename';
$db_prefix = '';
$base_url = 'http://site1.com';

I read the upgrade instructions and video, but I didn't see much on mutliple site upgrades. Like the users in http://drupal.org/node/62394 I saw a blank screen after upgrade in most cases. A couple upgrades were successful, however.

It seems like you need to run update.php while logged in as user #1. This seemed impossible for multiple sites since once
you switch the code base to Drupal 4.7 you won't be able to log into other sites.

I did try running update.php with "$access" set to FALSE (forget exact variable name). This at least let me upgrade a

Release Notes

Where do I find release notes so that I know what changed between versions?

The issues tracking system doesn't seem to associate versions with bug fixes???

update.php not working in 4.7.2 ?

I've been working with Drupal for a year but have run into an issue with 4.7.2 and (which is where I hit it ) Views - when I run update it basically never completes.

I found other older threads but they were very technical so not sure what else people might need to know. I could find out if ask for specifics.

how do you verify version

I just upgraded from 4.7.0 to 4.7.2 but I'm not sure that it took. Is there a way to verify what version your running or should I have seen a change from 4.7.0 to 4.7.2?

Thanks

not sure...

I just 'upgraded' from 4.7.0 to 4.7.2, I think.... Is there a way to verify this? This is the first time I have tried an 'upgrade' so I'm not exactly sure if I did it right.

Thanks
