Upgrading Drupal

Well, since I'm still working on learning the Drupal syste, I upgraded my 7.4 installation to 7.7 - and the upgrade worked perfectly the first time. I followed the instructions provided on the upgrade 7.x page. Before installling 7.7, I dutifully erased all of the core files except for the /sites folder.

I have two sites that I upgraded from Drupal 7.4 to 7.7. One worked fine. But on the second one when I run update.php, it says

1 pending update
menu module

7001 - Rename "Primary Links" and "Secondary Links" to their Drupal 7 equivalents.

But when I run this update, it never finishes. It is stuck in the Run updates step. What do I do?

Thanks for help.

Hi,

since I've updated to Drupal 7, there are no more Update Reports sent, even if I set the email address in configuration and have the maintenance cron running. Any ideas?

Yours, Michael

Best Practice - Syncing Localhost [dev] to live [prod] sites and Visa-Versa

I'm sure most peeps have an interest in this and as my own knowledge 'grows' I'm keen to find a better way to manage future Drupal upgrades from localhost to production sites.
Todate, I've mainly learned by 'trial and error' since I for one cannot find any decent tutorials on 'syncing' (maybe it's because it' in the realm of DB/SQL and not namely Drupal/CMS) and since I have spent a large amount of time learning, building both local and online (ie on ISP's webspace) I'm keen NOT to lose all my hard graft or to have to 'hand amend' back-end SQL tables!!

For me, I've ditched 100% M$ in favour of running a pure Linux LAMP box (Ubuntu *nix) and todate don't miss M$, infact it makes more sense IMO, but as often said, "so much to learn...." and I find I spend more time wasting by 'trial and error'. For me, I've been in IT for 25 years (mainly as a studio musician (Atari ST!) then via M$ as a 10yr M$ IT lecturer) so I'm not a 'mere' novice but true since jumping the Joomla ship, am at the stage only 6 months into D7 more so than I was some 18 months ago when I first dipped my toes into D6 (but never took it any further).

Question?

I'm moving from an old server to a new one with PHP 5.3. When I try to login to a Drupal 4.7 site I get these errors:

Before the upgrading, I did the housekeeping thing as following:

1. Disabled all contributed modules;
2. Removed all the contributed modules folders;

Using Garland theme.

The upgrading from 6.22 to 7.4 using update.php went smoothly.

When I tried to login from /user, get Error page showing:

The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later.

Through PhpPGAdmin, I checked the watchlog and found the error log as the following:

PDOException SQLSTATE[22P02]: Invalid text representation: 7 ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "me": SELECT base.uid AS uid, base.name AS name, base.pass AS pass, base.mail AS mail, base.theme AS theme, base.signature AS signature, base.signature_format AS signature_format, base.created AS created, base.access AS access, base.login AS login, base.status AS status, base.timezone AS timezone, base.language AS language, base.picture AS picture, base.init AS init, base.data AS data\012FROM \012{users} base\012WHERE (base.uid IN (:db_condition_placeholder_0)) ; Array\012(\012 [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => me\012) "DrupalDefaultEntityController->load() drupal.7.4/includes/entity.inc" line

FYI, there was a module called Me Alias installed in 6.22 ( http://drupal.org/project/me ). I disabled and removed Me module before I started the upgrading.

Any clue on this issue?
