Upgrading Drupal

I have just tried to perform an 4.6.5->4.7.0beta4 upgrade but have failed miserably :-(

Here are some of the things I encountered:

1. The initial update.php produced the "Illegal mix of collations" errors as I can see a lot of people have gotten. Running the update again wnet smooth.
2. First thing I noticed was that the Search button in the Search module didn't have any label (value="" in the html)
3. The I found out that the Goofy theme will not run on 4.7 - no big deal.
4. A couple of modules didn't work: feedback and event. Upgrading them to their 4.7.0 version fixed that.
5. Then I tried writing a new post (I have the TinyMCE module installed) and noticed that the TinyMCE didn't kick in. I just got a plain editor.
6. So I tried upgrading the TinyMCE module from the cvs and then got a new error: "Call to undefined function: base_path()". Searching here led me to a post saying that the base_path() funtion should be in the common.inc. Only it wasn't... at least not in the drupal-4.7.0-beta4.tar.gz that I hat just downloaded.
6. Then I went back to the cvs to find out that the base_path() was introduced in version 1.513 of common.inc and the version supplied with drupal-4.7.0-beta4.tar.gz was version 1.511.
7. Downloaded the latest common.inc only to find that my Apache was being stressed - loading the /admin/modules page took more than 30 seconds (indicated by the Fasterfox Page Load Timer in my Firefox) and when it loaded it was not using the sites theme.

Hi,

I'm upgrading a drupal 4.5.2 to 4.6.5 and I wish to install views and banner.
The upgrading of the core was sucessfully, except some problems with image that I resolve.

I install many modules on 4.6.5 like taxonomy_dhtml, taxonomy_xml, event,
When I move views, banner or epublish directory to /modules I can't access /admin/modules and in the log there isn't any error.

I'm really lost

Thanks

The other day I was trying to upgrade an Drupal powered webportal, and got the following errors during updated:

NOTE: upgrading from pre-4.7-head to 4.7 beta 4

Error while upgrading:

Overall, an upgrade to 4.6.5 I just did to a Drupal test site went well. Software is Apache 2.0.55, PHP 4.4.2, and PostgreSQL 8.1.3. Old content is still available -- no problems encountered there -- but I noticed something odd while doing some testing. Comments are configured to be viewed as threads in chronological order, oldest first. That seem to be getting done properly. The problem is that the indentation of the replies to threads is incorrect.

I created a small test story and added six comments. What I expected to see was a set of comments that looked like:

comment 1
        comment 1.1 (reply to comment 1)
comment 2
        comment 2.1 (reply to comment 2)
comment 3
        comment 3.1 (reply to comment 3)

Instead, what I'm seeing is:

comment 1
        comment 1.1
        comment 2
                comment 2.1
                comment 3
                        comment 3.1

Whatever is causing this goofy indentation doesn't appear to be theme-related. I've tried all the default themes that are shipped with the core release and get the same results regardless of the theme in use.

Any ideas on what might be the cause of this?

BTW: I have another site running v4.6.3 with Apache 2.0.55, PHP 4.4.2, and PostgreSQL 8.0.3 that doesn't exhibit this comment indentation problem.

Hello,

I'm relatively new to Drupal and wanted to take advantage of the JavaScript features in 4.7, so I decided to try to upgrade my installation from 4.6.5 to 4.7 beta 4.

I followed the instructions in upgrade.txt, but when I tried to load the update.php function, I received an error (this was even before I clicked the "run the database upgrade script" link):

After updating to drupal 4.7b4, I found that both anonymous and authenticated users couldn't log in any longer. I checked the users_roles table and found it were emptied. I also checked the logs of updating and found :

Update #171
DELETE FROM {users_roles} WHERE rid IN (1, 2)

I also checked the update scripts and found:
