We're using Drupal with a few modules (Biblio and a glossary module). We were planning on changing themes and pretty much gutting the site, so I thought it was a good time to run drush up. We've had the core update reset a number of settings before, but this time the site has gone nearly belly up.
The front page shows, but none of the links are working. They all pop 404s. I can nav to install.php, which sees the database files. But that's about it.
after upgrading to Drupal 7.8 from 7.4 I am experiencing some weird problems with my content types. Whenever I create a new content type it won't display in the add content list. But the new content type will appear in the filter dropdown on the content page. All this happened after installing the minor upgrade. Same thing happens when I -for example- change the name of an existing content type. The change doesn't appear in the content list but it is visible in the filter dropdown. Any words from the wise ?
Upgrade from 6.22 to 7.8 failed. All contributed modules was disabled or deleted using Uninstall, theme was Galland, all upgrade steps is done according to the UPGRADE.txt description. Upgrade ended with a fatal error. Now I restored the site to D6.22, but the database contains 125 tables - a mix of both Drupal 6.22 and 7.8 versions (I checked by phpMyAdmin).
After that I was installed Schema module and have report:
This has effectively proven to be a massive headache. If I leave out any details, let me know and I'll cull them from wherever they're to be found and post them.
To begin with, I upgraded the server to Ubuntu 10 which forced an upgrade to PostgreSQL (from 8.3 to 8.4), this included all the nightmarish upgrades that usually go with system upgrade such as Apache2.2.
I've adjusted the new database settings and dumped the old data into the new. I can access the database from the command line (I have not tried to connect remotely which I'll explain later), managed to get Drupal to appear again with the new Apache configuration but for the life of me, I simply CAN NOT get Drupal to connect to PostgreSQL. I've fiddled with numerous PostgreSQL settings file, the Drupal file and tried to find configuration options amongst Apache (did not find any). I always get the following message:
Failed to connect to your PostgreSQL database server. PostgreSQL reports the following message: Connection failed. See log file for failure reason.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct database hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?
* Are you sure you typed the correct database name?
i am currently migrating a site from drupal 4.7 to 7 (yeah, yeah..) and was wondering what the 'data' field in the users table is for. it changed from longtext in 4.7 to longblob in 7.
so what is it for and is it okay to just leave it blank when i directly inject user rows into the database?
