This forum is for questions about upgrading an existing Drupal site. Don't forget to read the UPGRADE.txt file that comes with every Drupal download.

Getting security warnings and warnings after upgrade to 7.22

The warnings are:

Security warning: Couldn't write .htaccess file. Please create a .htaccess file in your temporary:// directory which contains the following lines:
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
Deny from all
Options None
Options +FollowSymLinks

Warning: file_put_contents(temporary:///.htaccess) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: "DrupalTemporaryStreamWrapper::stream_open" call failed in file_create_htaccess() (line 498 of /home/.../public_html/includes/file.inc).

It is pulling both errors several times per minute. I attempted to add the suggested lines to an htaccess file in the temporary folder, no change. Added them to the htaccess file for the site, no change. Currently google is having difficulty finding the site, apparently at random.

The multi-domain site is showing no blocks, no themes. The site is currently down until I can figure this thing out.

Multi-site module updates

Being able to update the shared modules folder in a multi-site Drupal installation is amazingly easy, but I am wondering, what are some best practices when it comes to that?

Updating modules on a live environment when multiple sites are affected can be bad if a module has some sort of bug or if it's incompatible with something you were unaware of, correct? Usually we like to perform quality assurance on sites after a module update has been performed, but that starts to become a hassle once there are many sites under one core.

Assuming the sites/all folder is synchronized between development and live environments, pushing a site live is specially an interesting experience - since we want to make sure that all of the modules are updated. Sometimes these modules are in the shared modules folder, meaning it would affect every remaining multi-site as well. Then, in that case the only solutions I can imagine at the moment would be to either:

  • Push the site live without updating any of the shared modules - Perform updates on the live environment periodically when everyone is available to do Quality Assurance.
  • Perform module updates everytime a new site is pushed live. In this scenario, quality assurance would have to be performed on every site under multi-site - every single time a new site is pushed live.

Type going over pictures in prosepoint/drupal articles

Attempted to update a Prosepoint (distribution?) site and ran into trouble. Installed backup and everything seems fine except type in articles goes over pictures. Previously worked well. Here is URL:

Saving node takes me to users/admin and won't save data at all

Hi there,

After upgrading from D6 to D7 I find I few strange behaviours.

The most worrying is that I after editing some data from an existing node when I click on save, instead of taking me to the saved content page it takes me to users/admin and the content edits won't get save.

I noticed that this only happens to nodes that existed before the upgrade, if I create a new node I don't have this problem.

Any idea of what could go wrong?

Thanks
Manuel
