Upgrading Drupal

I recently updated our site to Drupal 7.26, as well as updated the Media and Entity modules, for security purposes. I followed the instructions carefully, including updating our staging/test site to be a mirror of the live site and performing the updates there first. Everything went fine on the test site; however, when I performed the same process on the live site, I received an error message, saying in brief:

Table 'dbtable.cache_page' doesn't exist

Very inexperienced Drupal user here, <6 months actual Drupal programming experience. I had a site up (actually two) on a GoDaddy VPS. I foolishly clicked "update" in my plesk server panel and it immediately crashed the site. The first "crash," caused my simple Bartik theme to break. When I tried to put the site into maintenance mode, thinking that would at least warn people the site was undergoing maintenance, it crashed the site entirely! I cannot access a single page now! I tried to update from 7.23 to 7.26. Please help!

Hello,

I've recently updated due to a security update in the core. Now when running the status report, I'm being informed that the Temporary Files Directory needs an updated version of an .htaccess file. I can't find this directory anywhere. I've tried creating it, tracking it through admin/config/media/filesystem only points me to 'localservices/phpupload', which is the same place that I'm pointed to with all other information. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,
Could not find anywhere an answer, so I ask here:
My site host is about to phase out PHP 5.2 and remain with PHP 5.4.
I upgraded the site to D7 which as I understand - does support PHP 5.4.

I still get errors running the site with 5.4 (involved with views_plugin_cache.inc )
switching back to 5.2 - works OK.

Is there a solution that I can use here ?

Thanks,
Ofir

Hi

For security reasons I need to change the MySQL password. I changed the password on the hosting DB manager and tested it by logging into PhpMyAdmin and it works fine.

I put the new password into the existing file settings.php in the /default/ directory and uploaded it.

When I try to access the site I get this error
PDOException: SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'blablabla'@'10.0.83.162' (using password: YES) in lock_may_be_available() (line 164 of [.....]www/includes/lock.inc).

Hi, I am helping with a Drupal site and need some advice. I hope this is the right place to post this question.

I know you can place Drupal blocks in regions but want to know if it is possible to embed a block within the main content?

The idea would be able to call in a block somewhere within the text portion of a content article (e.g. before a heading or paragraph) and then float that block right using CSS.
