Upgrading Drupal

Hi All,

we use Drupal 6.24 and want to upgrade to a version 7.x.

- we use Drupal for software documentation, the book module
- we use the module Content Access and assign permissions to each content node
- at the moment we create the nodes in German and translate in English, but we want to enable more languages, Japanese, Chinese, maybe French

So I know in version 7 there is the new Entity Translation model is possible, so we discuss to switch to this model.

I don't understand the test-site to live-site procedure (https://drupal.org/upgrade/copying-your-test-site-via-GUI). Can I use the live site database with the new version of the site (the new test site becomes the new live site), of do I have to copy the test site database to the live database? This is unclear, and it is not mentioned. Can anyone clarify this?

Hi,

We have just upgraded the recommended security updates for a number of different modules. Ever since doing so, our custom webforms are no longer appearing, and we have no idea how to recover them. Any suggestions?

I have a simple question regarding upgrading Drupal from 6 to 7.
Do you do all the upgrading in Drupal 6 and then migrate those changes to Drupal 7 ? Or, do I need to install migration modules in Drupal 7 to accept Drupal 6?

Can somebody please guide me through the general steps? I already downloaded Drupal 7, but don't know what to do next.

Thanks.

Hi, just updated my site from 7.22 to 7.23 by following the instructions in the readme.

My site didn't have anything customized in the .htaccess file or my settings.ini but I was getting 500 internal server error after the update.

So I copied my old htaccess file to the server and now the site is working again.

I'm not too technical on this type of thing with drupal so I cant say why this has fixed the issue for me or if it will for anyone else but thought it was worth sharing.

Thanks
