Upgrading Drupal

Hi, hope someone can answer this. I have downloaded a template and browsed the the tar file but is says it is a core module and has to be installed manually. I have looked at the link in reference to this but it is not very clear to me. So the question is, if its a core module how do you install it manually ? on looking at the zip file there are no directories just a load of files ?

This may sound a stupid question but Im only just starting to use Drupal.

Any help woud be welcome.

Hello,

I recently upgraded my drupal installation to 6.26.

But my update manager is still telling me i need an update to 6.26.

Checked version on http root and can confirm its 6.26.

Friendly greetings

I've got a bunch of *.flv files and their *.jpg thumbnails along with their play* meta data files from a drupal5 backup. Any ideas about how i can import these to a drupal7 install?

PS: I've tried to revive the drupal5 installation to no avail. The backup isn't complete.

I am moving an existing installation of Drupal to another server and updating from version 7.9 to v7.14 at the same time.

I was able to do a fresh install of the core on the new server and copy all the files from the 'sites' folder to the new site. So far so good. Now I imported the saved database from the older site to the new site and the database update was imported with no problem or errors.

Not sure if this was posted before but why am I getting this error after an update?

Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 11 of 40 bytes in variable_initialize() (line 943 of /var/www/vhosts/steamballoon.ca/httpdocs/includes/bootstrap.inc).

It sounds like the solution is here and you have to delete a white space:

How can do you know how to trouble shoot this? Please and thank you.

I ran a Devel themer module upgrade through Drupal's default upgrading interface.
After upgrade and refresh my I got a message: Fatal error: Class 'simple_html_dom' not found in ..\sites\all\modules\devel_themer\devel_themer.module on line 201
update.php says: Requirements problem! Unresolved dependency simplehtmldom (Missing) Theme developer requires this module.
I can't open the site or access settings interface anymore. How to solve this?
I'll extremely appreciate any help here!
