Upgrading Drupal

Hi there,

I am working on upgrading from 6.x to 7.15 but run into some unexpected problems. The update to the latest version of 6.x went smooth and without any issues.

From the latest version of 6.x to 7.15, first I got an error message that prompted me to apply a patch
(patch -p0 -b < undefined_function_during_install-1371216-3.patch) to /public_html/modules/field/modules/text/text.install

An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 200 Debugging information follows. Path: http://site.com/update.php?op=selection&token=yx8swkfTZAKTE4FCXqQJzEGlF6KuGB5A01MSh35DTxk&id=161&op=do StatusText: OK ResponseText: Fatal error: Call to undefined function _update_7000_field_read_fields() in /home/site/public_html/modules/field/modules/text/text.install on line 78

Now I am getting a new error message and the site locked me out:


The following updates returned messages

system module

Update #7007

I have a simple Drupal site that has everything working before, but all of a sudden it started to fall apart with many places returning the above error. Most of the time the error shows up when clicking on the "Read more" or "Comments" on the bottom of each block that used to display the full content of the block on another page. There are also reminders that a few upgrades are available. At the worst situation, clicking on the "available upgrades" tab also resulted in the same error listed in the title.

I have done quite some research on the error, and made some improvements, but cannot solve the main error in the title.

One Drupal discussion said that clearing the cache in the module can solve the problem. I have cleared the cache in the "configure" page for "jQuery Update", and after that, clicking on the "available upgrades" tab resulted in the update information rather than the error. But the above error is still there when clicking on the "Read more" in the main page.

One other discussion (http://drupal.org/node/1190758) discussed exactly the same error, and the solution suggested was to switch the Accordion style from the default value of "Content" to "Fields". I checked the "Module" setting and the "view" module, but cannot even see anywhere that has an "Accordion style" setting. Could anyone tell me where the "Accordion style" setting is?

I want to make a page that will be available to the user after login only and it will show the list of registered users online with some data such as age , male or female , username etc .

Any help how to proceed will be much appreciated .

Thanks ..!!

I am trying to update 7.14 to 7.15. I am pretty sure I followed the instruction in upgrade.txt but it's failing quite miserably. There are many gaps in the instructions...so maybe I didn't do it right. Can someone point out why? And is the upgrade.txt document missing important information?

Here is what I did (hostgator linux).
Back up db and files
Delete all files except the sites dir
Rename the folder drupal 7 is installed in to d7x
Unzip the 7.15 files
Rename the root folder of the 7.15 hive to d7 (what it was before)
Delete the new sites dir
Copy the old sites dir to the new d7 hive
Nav to update.php

At the requirements page I get this:

Error
File system
The directory sites/default/files does not exist. An automated attempt to create this directory failed, possibly due to a permissions problem. To proceed with the installation, either create the directory and modify its permissions manually or ensure that the installer has the permissions to create it automatically. For more information, see INSTALL.txt or the online handbook.

Error
Default settings file The default settings file does not exist.
The Drupal installer requires that the ./sites/default/default.settings.php file not be modified in any way from the original download.

I've got an outdated Drupal 6 site that I'm trying to bring up-to-date. It's at version 6.13, but I see that there were some significant changes going up to 6.26. Reading through the release notes doesn't tell me what versions are safe to upgrade from. Can someone tell me what versions I must step thru in order to get to 6.26?

I have a little problem after upgrading a multisite installation from 6.25 to 7.14. After the upgrade process there are no image style presets available in /admin/config/media. No link to /image-styles is visible and the url is not accessible. I'm upgrading the GD-library & PHP-Version after the upgrade process and reinstall the image-module - but no effect. Is there a other solution possible? Thx...
