Problems upgrading from 4.4.1 to CVS 2004-09-26

I have a working Drupal installation that uses the 4.4.1 and the xtemplate / pushbutton.

This installation hosts 3 separate domains on one installation, in the same database, but with different prefixes in the conf files.

I tried to upgrade to yesterday (2004-09-26 CVS), and ran into problems.

Here are the steps I did:

  • Created the users_roles and locales_meta tables for each domain
      CREATE TABLE site1_users_roles (
        uid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
        rid int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
        PRIMARY KEY (uid, rid)
      );
      CREATE TABLE site2_locales_meta (
        locale varchar(12) NOT NULL default '',
        name varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
        enabled int(2) NOT NULL default '0',
        isdefault int(2) NOT NULL default '0',
        plurals int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
        formula varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
        PRIMARY KEY  (locale)
      );
    

    (same for site2, and site3)

  • Ran the update.php script

At this point, I can browse the site with no problem.

However, when I go into the admin menus and change anything (I tried going into admin/themes and unchecking 'primary links' one time, and tried to remove the path to the logo at another time), and then clock on Save configuration, the site becomes unusable with the following message for any access:

     Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/myusername/html/includes/menu.inc on line 653

Unknown function: module_init() when updating the drupal-cvs

I hope this is the right place for this kind of message! Sorry if it is not :-(

I update drupal-cvs together with quite a few modules.
Doing this manually works fine and after adding a new module I activate it in the administer section.

It is quite a tedious work so I figured a small script could make the process easier for me. Basically it moves out the conf.php, downloads drupal-cvs and the modules and extracts everything and then moves back the conf.php.

Which themes should I use to maintain compatibility with 4.5? Can I use Gworks?

I'm working away on building a new site (very slowly due to lack of time) using Drupal 4.4.0 and the Gworks theme, with one or two minor modifications of my own. I would like to be able to upgrade to 4.5 when it comes out along with all the modules that I plan to use.
Looking at the upcoming plans for 4.5.0, my understanding is that the theme system will be completely re-written, and I therefore have two questions:

1) Will Gworks theme continue to work in 4.5 or will it have to be completely rewritten (and if it is rewritten how long is this like to take?)

No "blog it" link in aggregator?

I hope this is a bug.
I can't find a "blog it" link in the aggregator.
You didn't remove it did you?
I MUST have that functionality.

import is now aggregator, but...

I upgraded Langemarks Cafe from 4.3 to CVS.

"import" is now "aggregator", but how do I tell all the people who set up their aggregators to change the path of their engine?
I tried to change the general url, but it does not work.
Will I just have to sit down and watch all the errors?

Upgr. 4.3 -> CVS -> Fatal error: Table 'langemark2.users_roles' doesn't exist

I'm working on an upgrade for my troubled langemarks cafe. It runs on 4.3 code,and I'm testing an upgrade on my windoze machine. I have added a couple of changes to the db as stated in upgrade script, but when I try to upgrade the db via the link in the update.php script, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Table 'langemark2.users_roles' doesn't exist query: SELECT r.rid, r.name FROM role r INNER JOIN users_roles ur ON ur.rid = r.rid WHERE ur.uid = 1 in C:\FoxServ\www\drupal431\includes\database.mysql.inc on line 125
