Upgrading Drupal

I've never had this happen, so I'm kind of at a loss.

I was attempting to upgrade our site from D7.22 to 7.23. I backed up the site directory and database, printed out a list of enabled modules, and put the site offline.

I then went to the Modules page and disabled all the contributed modules. These include:
Chaos Tools Suite
Feeds
Simplenews
IMCE
Entity API/Tokens/Libraries
CKeditor
Mobile detect import
Mobile Switch
Views/dataviz/UI

We have a site in prod in Acquia ( this is production site and pretty huge), this site is currently running Drupal 6. We took a dump of the prod site couple of weeks back and migrated the site in dev environment to Drupal 7 ( as we want to move the prod site to Drupal 7). Now as our migration is done, we want to sync the data from Drupal 6 site ( prod ) to Drupal 7 ( dev) and go live with Drupal 7 version. Can anybody suggest how to go about this sync ( sync of data between this couple of weeks gap - user, content, comment and much more ). Is "Migrate" module best way to go about it?

Hi All,

I love how all that users have to do to upgrade module versions in D7 is go to the Admin Menu, select "Modules > Update", then (eventually) click on the button, 'Download these updates'.

Is this being planned for upgrades to different versions of D8? Currently in D7, users have to download the latest distribution (old school) and ftp the files to the server.

Push-button would be so nice for this as well. Is this already in the works and I'm just not informed?

Thanks for any info,

LEO

Hi Guys,

Hi guys.

i am newbie to Drupal so excuse me if my question will be lame.

Here is the problem i am facing.
I am migrating ( recovering website) build on Drupal ( unfortunately not sure what version, if someone knows how to check let me know)from dead server to the new one.
I have only files from old server. Never had ability to log in to drupal, mysql or even see how the website looks.
Now i have build centos server with Apache server php 5.3 and mysql 5.1.
Manged to move the files , moved database files and made MySQL work with drupal database.
Resolved couple of deprecated php errors.
But still web site not working properly.
When you try to log in using http://www.tmi.co.uk/tmi/?q=user ( the tmi dns points to different server at the moment ip for this one is 195.167.168.163 if you want to see what problem i have) , login module seems to be removed, i get

Unsupported database type
The database type is unsupported. Please use either mysql for MySQL 3.x & 4.0.x databases, mysqli for MySQL 4.1.x+ databases, or pgsql for PostgreSQL databases. The database information is in your settings.php file.

Did research on those errors and as it points out i have changed settings.php to use mysqli but that did not help then i have changed permissions on the file and the folder ( folder is 755 file 644) but still no luck.

I am pulling my hair out! Help!

I have been tasked with upgrading our website from Drupal 5.3 to Drupal 7.23 (and the OS, PHP and PostgreSQL database) and I keep running into error after error! Each time I manage to get through 1 error, another one shows up! Part of me wonders if anybody else is having this much trouble upgrading considering how widely used Drupal is!?!

I am fairly new to Drupal and to FreeBSD so this has been a very steep learning curve and I am running out of ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it! Unfortunately patience is running thin with the powers-to-be and not to mention I am starting to get tired of this project since I have not been able to move forward for a while already!

I've managed to get up to Drupal 6.28, not including the custom theme or modules (I get to modify those next) and have a number of issues showing up as I try to upgrade to Drupal 7.23. I am running Drupal in a VM for now, but will be runnign this on an installed version.

• FreeBSD 9.1
• apache 2.2.23
• php 5.2.17 and extensions
• postgresql 9.0

I haven't updated PHP beyond 5.2 yet because I started with Drupal 5.3 and was hoping to move the entire site up to Drupal 7.23 before updating the OS and components. Unless this is the error causing all of my troubles.?!
