Upgrading Drupal

Have recently updated my website from drupal 4.6.6 to drupal 4.7.0
the problem is when i try to upload the logo from admin themes i get this error

copy(files/logo.gif): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/thegreat/public_html/ideas/includes/file.inc on line 362.

Have already given files directory 777 permision

what can be the problem here??

Hi,

I need to know how to use the patches posted for upgrading from 4.6.6 to 4.6.7..I've looked everywhere but can't find any instructions.

Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Maha

When I click on the links for upgrading Drupal (either FTP GUI Client Instructions or the Unix Command Line Upgrade) I get an access denied message.

I'm happy to do the patch route from the command line, but prefer to read the instructions anyway!

From the Drupal 4.6.7/4.7.1 release announcement and security advisory:

Make sure you have a .htaccess in your "files" dir and it contains this line:

SetHandler This_is_a_Drupal_security_line_do_not_remove

Pardon me for not going through the mailing lists, but what is this for and how is this supposed to work?

I have tried to upgrade from 4.6.6 to 4.7.0 three times now. Every time I end up with a front page that looks like this:

Home
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a
by Anonymousn/a
12next ›last »

No theme, no menu, no nothing. Just unthemed nodes that don't appear to be displaying their relevant information.

I have disabled all third-party modules and themes. I have even run through every configuration page and re-saved the configuration information in order to make sure there's nothing lingering from those other modules.

When I run the upgrade script, the version that is detected is 133. As it runs, I do not see a changing percentage indicator. It immediately goes to 100% complete. I get no mysql query list, either. But I also get no errors from the upgrade script, but there are errors in the logs, most of which read things like:

Unknown column 'access' in 'field list' query: UPDATE users SET access = 1148531311 WHERE uid = 1 in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

or

Unknown column 'theme' in 'where clause' query: SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE theme = 'bluemarine' AND status = 1 ORDER BY region, weight, module in /home/.alma/gypsysage/gypsycaravan.com/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

What am I doing wrong here? I have currently rolled back to my 4.6.6 backup. How should I proceed?

greetings from a Drupal Newbie!

1) I am trying to upgrade to the latest version, but my hosting says this....

"Click on Upgrade only if
- no files, languages, themes have been modified
- you haven't added mods to this installation of Drupal
Info: Your current installation will be backed up."

my CSS files and themes have been modified...... so now what???

2) It says that if you are a current drupal member/user on any "drupal" site, then you can login in just by using your current login information.
