Upgrading Drupal

I'm running an older version of drupal, I believe it's 4.5.5 or so but I don't know because I can't find anywhere where it displays what version I'm running. I started out on 4.4.something and I've upgraded several times over the past year. Not all of the upgrades have been successful but for various reasons I had to keep the site going even though everything wasn't working right. Now I'm at a point where a lot of stuff is broken and I'm pretty sure it's because of things that have broken in the upgrade process at one point or another.

Hi all,

I've got a crufty Drupal installation (4.5) that my predecessor didn't document at all, and I've finally decided that it's hopeless trying to upgrading it. So I've decided to start from scratch with a new installation of 4.6. However, it is necessary that I keep the users' old content. Is there any way I can upgrade the database on its own to 4.6's schema, then install 4.6 from scratch and overwrite its database with the upgraded db? I'm fine throwing out any data that doesn't have to do with the core functionality--all I really want is the blogs and comments.

I upgraded from 4.6.3 to 4.6.6 on all my sites and now I can't seem to log back in. It doesn't act like the password is wrong, it just goes back to the login screen like nothing happened after entering my username/password.

After upgrading it all seemed fine. I didn't see any trouble. After my logins timed out over the weekend I can't get back on now.

Any clues?

Hello Everybody.

I've looked for the error message in google and in the web but found nothing that helped me to solve the problem.

I had Druapl 4.5 working fine, but after the upgrade to 4.6 this error message start appearing in my site.

I followed the upgrade instructions and passed all upgrade tests except this:

2005-01-18

user error: Invalid default value for 'vid'
query: CREATE TABLE vocabulary_node_types (
vid int(10) NOT NULL default '',
type varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (vid, type))
in /var/www/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

CREATE TABLE {vocabulary_node_types} (

vid int(10) NOT NULL default '',

type varchar(16) NOT NULL default '',

PRIMARY KEY (vid, type))
FAILED

I did not worry about that till now.

Every time I go to categories I get:

user error: Table 'drupal.vocabulary_node_types' doesn't exist
query: SELECT v.*, n.type FROM vocabulary v LEFT JOIN vocabulary_node_types n ON v.vid = n.vid ORDER BY v.weight, v.name in /var/www/drupal/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 66.

and I see the post subject message in drupal logs.

I think this error is directly relationed to taxonomy, but it's just a guess.

As I have minor idea of MySQL, could some one help me to find where do I have to create the table?

Hi,
Can we upgrade directly from 4.6.4 - 4.6.6, without going through 4.6.5 ?

Hello

I have just upgraded my site from drupal 4.6.5 to 4.6.6 and followed the directions found on this site. I have copied the different modules I use (flexinode, gallery and recipe) and enabled these (they were disabled during upgrade). However now the gallery module doesn't produce the gallery block with random image anymore, instead a error-log is created on all sites.

From the logs I have found this, which doesn't help me much

Unable to get Gallery image block
