Upgrading Drupal

I'm running a D6.22 to 7.8 upgrade and at the point of running the DB upgrade am getting a message that 14 updates will be skipped. All of these list the reason as: "This update will been skipped due to the following missing dependencies: user_update_7007".

If I try to apply the other 96 updates I end up with "Fatal error: Call to undefined function system_default_date_formats() in /home/sites/obsoc.oaktest.co.uk/public_html/cmsc/modules/system/system.module on line 3524".

Hi,

i recently upgraded Webform module to version 6.x-3.14. All of the sudden, all form submition email are coming blank.

I did run the update.php and i cleared the cache, but nothing helped.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Pete

Small question: While updating Drupal core in the future, is it normally safe to just move those patched files to the next version and then do an update, or do you absolutely need to patch for example Drupal 7.10 before uploading to the server?

The place you posted is not a support forum, so I'm replying in the forums rather than cluttering up a core issue with unrelated information.

First of all, see the Drupal patch documentation page.

• If you're asking:

  Should I apply the patch locally and then upload the patched files, or is it okay to apply patches on the server?

  The answer is:

  It shouldn't matter. The important thing is to make sure nobody modifies the database while the site is in a half-patched state. That's the purpose of putting the site into "Maintenance mode" before doing an update.

• If you're asking:

  Can I only upload the files that changed, or should I upload all the Drupal core files every time I make an update?

  The answer is:

Hello,

i have setup one instance of drupal 7 for a multi-site environment. All sites share the same codebase but each site hast it's own database.

Now i wonder how drupal takes care of module updates when those updates contain database modifications. I have updated a couple of modules from within one site including database updates. Are those updates run for every site's database?

If not, what would be the proper way to update each database. When i look at the modules in another site now, everything seems to be up to date. I am just not sure about the databases.

Has anyone experience with migrating multi-site installations from CVS to git?
I'd be very thankful if you could write a thorough tutorial on this.

Info on cvs/git is scattered around drupal.org and none of the nodes really deal with the issue as a whole.
I've specified my troubles here:

Hi All,

I'm looking to do an upgrade of my website from D5 to D7, however as a rather big cleanup/purge is in order due to the widespread use of now unmaintained contrib modules I was thinking I might start a fresh D7 install and just import the content I want from my D5 site. Is this a viable approach, and if so are there any modules that will help in being able to export content from my D5 site and then import it to my D7 site? Things like preserving URL aliases, users, permissions/roles, taxonomy and comments will be pretty important. Thanks.
