About a week and a half ago I updated the site to D7.7. Everything seemed fine for a few days. I proceeded to add pages over the next few days. With one page, I realized I needed to add to the taxonomy vocabulary so this page could be properly displayed in a search ( a new selection). Once I added the vocabulary the site indicated out of memory errors. That action must have put it over the top since I did not have any issues prior. I'm on 1and1 1&1 Linux shared hosting, so I've been sensitive to adding anything complex so as not to bump up against their php limit of 32 Mb. As said many times by others, even though you may set a higher memory limit elsewhere (.htaccess, settings.php, etc), 1&1 still limits you to 32Mb. I do not have root access and cannot run code.
In the past, I've been able to connect using FTP to my host and just delete a couple of modules that are really not necessary. Then I've been able to login, clear the cache and I seemed to be fine. I sometimes left those modules out. I've deleted a few small modules hoping to get back to a usable mode. Now i can't even get past the memory error to login, so I can't do much without being able to log in. I did use Backup to save a copy of the DB prior to the D7.7 install (it was 7.4 before) so if I could login, I could go back to that.
I have tried a number of times to Upgrade from 6.20 to 6.22.
Each time it s showing the following error
An HTTP error 404 occurred. http://mysite.co.cc/update.php?id=32&op=do
My Secunia software inspector has issued the following warnings:
For PHP: "detecting PHP 5.2.17 state: End-of-life." It suggests installation of PHP 5.3.x.
For Apache 2.2.x: "detecting Apache 2.2.17; state: Insecure." It suggests installation of 2.2.18.
I'd appreciate guidance whether it is prudent to update these components and, if so, advice on the best way to do it without wrecking something else.
I'm currently working with a fresh install of 7.7 on my home ubuntu LAMP server
I've been trying to use the built in update feature.
I know I can update modules by ftping to the server but being able to use the "Download updates" button in the user interface would be a lot easier.
When downloading updates I get a message that updates were downloaded successfully.
I then get the page suggesting I put the site into maintainance mode and click continue.
