Upgrading Drupal

In admin section Menu there is spam text. There should be explanation what Menus are. How can I remove the spam and is this dangerous for the site.

I get the following error after upgrading to drupal 7 every time I edit a post:

---
Notice: Undefined index: required in field_default_form() (line 76 of /modules/field/field.form.inc).
---

Can somebody help me to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi folks, longtime PostgreSQL sufferer -er I mean user.

Attempting an upgrade from 6.20 to 7.0 I get the following errors on my PostgreSQL 9.0.2 database-based site:

user module
Update #7009
Failed: PDOException: SQLSTATE[42804]: Datatype mismatch: 7 ERROR: default for column "data" cannot be cast to type bytea: ALTER TABLE {users} ALTER "data" TYPE bytea USING "data"::bytea; Array ( ) in db_change_field() (line 2888 of /www/drupal/farbot-7.0/includes/database/database.inc).

I am having an error when trying to upgrade to Drupal 7.(6.20 to 7.0)

I'm trying to follow the directions here - http://drupal.org/node/570162
and in the upgrade.txt file in the drupal-7.0 package. These do not match.

things I've done-
- logged in as user1
- site is in offline mode
- set to original garland theme
- disabled all non-core modules

here's where the problems start-
- I've replace my entire drupal root folder with the contents of the drupal-7.0 package. with these exceptions---
1. Should I delete /sites/default/default.settings.php and replace it with the drupal-7.0 one? or leave the D6 one?
2. Should I temporarily remove the contents of /sites folder for the upgrade? or just the directories in the /sites folder besides the /sites/default folder?
3. Should I create a settings.php file? from the drupal-7.0 default.settings.php? or leave my original?(made both writable)

- If I use the /sites/default folder contents for the upgrade then localhost/update.php is forwarded to localhost/install.php.
- If I use my original /sites/default folder contents for the upgrade. I see this http://lh6.ggpht.com/_IW9lx8xoDpo/TTOMd0kTA3I/AAAAAAAAAmg/vrQ1Q_1CvHg/Sc... then this when I click update script http://lh3.ggpht.com/_IW9lx8xoDpo/TTOMd8zUibI/AAAAAAAAAmc/eiVZADI-0eU/Sc...

Any Ideas? Know of any better directions to follow?

Hi,

I have taken the task to upgrade D7alpha6 live site (dont ask how it ended up like this) to Drupal 7 GA. Basically I see only one way forward - to reinstall completely, and this is how I intend to do it:

I'm new to Drupal and creating my first Drupal site in D6. It's a bit like a classified ads site but it has a social aspect ie. users communicating with users. How the users are created is very important. Now that D7 is out I am considering upgrading in about 6 months, once some more of the bugs are gone.
