Upgrading Drupal

OK, this relates to a simple Update, *not* a version Upgrade, but this seemed to be the best place to post it.

I have a site running Drupal 6.28. I've maintained it with few issues for several years. The only noteworthy feature it has is CiviCRM, which is uses a separate MySQL database anyway.

Yesterday, while attempting to make two routine module updates (the latest versions of IMCE and Views Bulk Operations), I received the following error message upon running Update.php:

An unrecoverable error has occurred. You can find the error message below. It is advised to copy it to the clipboard for reference.
Please continue to the error page

An HTTP error 0 occurred. http://www.justice4michigan.org/update.php?id=64&op=do

When I do continue to the error page, I receive the following details:

warning: array_pop() expects parameter 1 to be array, boolean given in /home/justice4michigan/public_html/update.php on line 316.

The update process was aborted prematurely while running update # in .module. All errors have been logged. You may need to check the watchdog database table manually.

When I check the error log itself, it just shows the same error as above. When I go back to view the status/updates available, it *appears* that everything has been properly updated.

I just upgraded my Drupal to version 7.20. That worked OK. After that I started upgrading some modules (I think the last one was the Insert module) and translations and the following error messages appeared. Now my site www.aasanehistorielag.no doesn't work at all. I will greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what this error messages means :)

hello everybody,

I upgraded to Drupal 7.20 from D. 7.19. To do so I disable my added modules and removed all the folders and file, except for .htaccess and the sites folder. Then I copied the content of the D7.20 folder as extracted in my /home dir.

I also removed a module in ./sites/all/modules (token) and uploaded the latest token module.

I used ssh, as I have done before.

I then ran update.php and the output was the usual page but with a surprising message:

No pending update

I was using profile module on drupal six but upgrading to drupal 7 i get the below error... i've been searching for answers in vain....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function profile_view_profile() in xxxxx\sites\all\modules\ctools\plugins\content_types\user_context\profile_fields.inc on line 36

thanks in advance

I am keen to upgrade my site from Drupal 6 (latest version) to Drupal 7 site, but according to the recommendations here I need first of all to be able to create a test site, and that includes this: "Copy your old database to a test-site database"

I've been trying to do for weeks, with no success and little helpful support from 1&1 Internet.

I downloaded the existing MySQL database with no difficulty, but when I try to import it either using PHPMyAdmin or by SSH, I get an error message and the import is not completed.

The old database was uploaded to the directory exporteddatabases, and called drupal6export.sql.

Following the instructions on the 1&1 FAQ - http://faq.1and1.co.uk/web_space__access/mysql/15.html - I tried this command:

mysql -h db***.db.1and1.com -u dbo*** -p db*** < drupal6export.sql

When prompted for a password, I keyed in the correct one.

But the import did not work and I received this message:

ERROR 1044 (42000) at line 12: Access denied for user 'dbo***'@'%' to database 'db271185759'

What am I doing wrong? The database db271185759 is the old one.

1&1 Internet's tech support has given me this answer:

Hello fellow forum users!

I have just been given a site to administer and, being new to Drupal, I'm having some problems that I can't figure out, probably because of the language and terms and I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out or point me in the right direction. I have tried looking on line for documentation, but I think because I'm not quite sure of all the terms I can't find the right answer(s).

I have some pages with lists on them: http://artsarena.org/events and http://artsarena.org/artsadvisoryboard

I just want to change the order of the lists. For the Events page I want to have them in chronological order, 2013, 2012, 2011, etc. For the Advisory Board page I'd like to have the list in alphabetical order by last name.

Also, despite my best efforts i can't find a way to update the core version from 6.19 to 6.28 or modules/themes other than through FTP/SFTP. I have checked the settings.php file to make sure updates weren't disabled, and it seems right, but though I can download the new core, I can't seem to update the core except through FTP. I seem to remember there is a way to update it through the UI, same for the modules, but when i go to the available updates page I have only the option to download, not to apply.
