Upgrading Drupal

Hi,

I was running 6.1.x and decided to upgrade to 6.25 primarily because cron has been hanging when it tries to run.

A few background points:

I'm updating my install from 7.8 to 7.12

Up to fixing up the settings.php

As I read through the file, it shows an entry that should be appropriate for a single database, this is my setup.
My old settings.php has the database entries at a point further down, which is still in the new file, that is as follows:

$databases = array ();

However, the example begins and ends the entry with "@code" and "@endcode" The above location is not bounded by these items.

I am in the process of updating my site from 6x to 7x and am using the Upgrade status module which has a seperate module titled Upgrade Assist packaged with it. The Upgrade Assistant module keeps hanging on the "Verify maintenance theme" section of the upgrade list. I have set the maintenance theme to every theme installed on my site. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Should I be doing more than just selecting the theme I want to use as a maintenance theme?

Hi All,

I've got several custom content types in Drupal 6 with type "Text" and "Check boxes/radio buttons" for the widget type. This allows you to create a radio button list of options, and the user selects the appropriate option.

Upon upgrading to Drupal 7, these fields were converted to type "List (text)". This seems to have worked fine for all the existing content, but I tried creating some new content that uses the new "List (text)" fields, and on the node display page, instead of the label for the option selected, I get the numeric value. My "List (text)" options are setup something like this:

0|Support
1|Neutral
2|Oppose

The number is the value, and the word after the pipe is the label. What is supposed to happen (and happens for all previous content) is that the selected label appears.

But what is happening for all new content is that the value, the number 0, 1, or 2, is displayed.

I tried creating a new content type, with a new "List (text)" field, and it works fine. On the node display page, the value seen by the end user is the label, not the value.

I compared my new field (that shows the value, as expected) and my old field (that shows the value, not the label) side by side. They are completely identical.

Trying to upgrade my installation; i have worked through the UPGRADE.txt file, but when I go to the site to run update.php it instead runs install.php. Not even sure where to look to see what I may have missed or messed up.

Restored my backup directory, but now the site insists on running install.php, won't load the site.

UPDATE: found that in my update, I apparently believed everything was ready to go and moved settings.php to the new directory, restored it to the original. Had also deleted default.settings.php, restored that from a newly extracted 7.8 download.

Hi All,

I upgraded fromDrupal 6.13 to the latest greatest Drupal 6.25. The install went ok and the site works and looks as expected except when I go to edit a page.

When I select the edit tab I get a blank white page in FireFox and a HTTP 500 error in IE9.

Note: All modules are up to date. Caches cleared. all Modules turned back on as before. I even tried removing teh WYSIWYG modudes but this did not help...

Previously I was having issues with my wysiwyg editor in IE9 but it worked fine in other browsers.

Any Ideas?
