Upgrading Drupal

My site is still on Drupal 6.16, which needs an full update to Drupal 7

Please tell me how to update through FTP. Or if there is any other better method to update.

Thanks

I just have a small niggling concern and I was wondering if any experienced Drupalnaut could make me feel better (or warn me before it's too late).

In order to use the calendar module I have been using the -dev modules of views, date and cktools on my 7.9 development site (launching later in January). So far the site seems to be holding together, but I'm concerned about the future.

Is the process of upgrading the modules to 1.0 status after they release going to be a big deal? Is this something that I should avoid doing? Will this lead to a kind of module hell?

Hello,

I upgraded Drupal 6.22 to Drupal 7.9 (also see http://drupal.org/node/1353510)

When using Migrate fields I get:
Changed field type: The 'field_seizoen' field uses a 'optionwidgets_select' widget. The field type will be changed from 'text' to 'list_text'

Hi all,

Just wonder what the pros and cons to use "Backup & Migrate" module?
I haven't used that before and I do all the backup via a scheduled cronjob. (rsync for files and dbdump for database.)

It seems to be sufficient.
What juices am I missing from "Backup & Migrate" module?

Many thanks

Hi all, I have a big problem!

I've tried a lot of times to upgrade my frupal from 6.22 to 7.x (7.9 in this case) but it always failed...

When I runthe update.php (after all required steps) I always get blocking errors of database structures (tables/indexes/fields) that already exist... How can i solve this? Do i have to downgrade the db structure to fit the additional 7.9 stuffs? Is there any way to ignore those stupid errors (if the structure you're creating already exist wth do I care? Just go ahead!)?

Thank you very much for your sure answers!

I upgraded today to 7 I believe. Now I get this error on every page: Fatal error: Call to undefined function phptemplate_preprocess_block_editing() in /home/cvyp/websites/www/sites/all/themes/cvyp/template.php on line 208

Line 208 is: phptemplate_preprocess_block_editing($vars, $hook);

It is in this:
