Upgrading Drupal

Hey guys, I seem to have inherited a drupal 4.5.x system and I'm going to make a new skin for it but out of curtousy I'd like to upgrade their system to the new 4.7.2.

I went through the upgrade procedure directly to 4.7.2 and no cigar.

I get all the way to running update.php and it just sits there at a blank white page. I did go in and change the $access_check = FALSE;

drupal-4.6.4

I would like to know if I have to do step upgrades to upgrade to the latest 4.6.8? or can I go straight to 4.6.8?

thanks for any help.

Hi,

I just upgraded to 4.7.2 from 4.6.5. Update.php failed a few times with "unrecoverable errors." Each time, I tried running update.php again. I know, it's not supposed to be run more than once, but I didn't know what else to do :-D And it did seem to work... until I got to update #178, which fails (no message, just "unspecified error") no matter how many times I run update.php. I guess that there are only 5 updates left, because the update fails at 20%.

Trying to upgrade from 4.6.5 to 4.7.2 on a test site (with a moderately large database) the update.php script fails at 74%.

I'm on an otherwise very stable Win2K computer running the latest EasyPHP distro. This bug shakes Windows to its roots, and after 3 failed attempts, mein EasyPHP ist kaputt and needs to be reinstalled!

Is this a memory problem? I closed all unnecessary apps beforehand.

(BTW I think I saw a similar post somewhere but cannot find it.)

Is there another way to do the update locally?

When Cookies enable, Users redistered on our portal, he download another page but session number doesn't pass. In Old version this prodlen was solwed by special option "Pass Session number through URL". How do it in Drupal v.4.7

Hi,

I would like to generate all new image sizes (thumbs and previews) for all of my images in my drupal/files/images ... (there are about +1000 in there)

Has anyone seen a script that does this?
