Upgrading Drupal

H everyone,

I am a bran newbie, both in Web Design/Development and Drupal. I have some quick questions, hope you can help. I've just installed drupal 7.0 (upgraded from 6.20). My site is a brand new/fresh/empty site with no content, no configuration, nothing. Do I have to install the following modules: admin, pathauto & token, nodeword, CCK and Views or does D7 already have them in its core-modules? If I have to install them, where can I find their D7-compatible versions and how to install them.

Thank you very much,

Jeny

I was running D6.18 on a linux machine. I have shell access.

I followed the UPGRADE.txt file and all seemed well until I tried to go back and put it back online, that is not in maintenance. Going to /mysite/user did offer me the chance to login but /mysite/user/login told me

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$content in include() (line 10 of /mysite/themes/garland/block.tpl.php).

five times and did not ask for my password. Looking through the files I see that themes/garland/block.tpl.php was not in the 7.0 tar when it was untarred and so it was not updated.

I want to upgrade from 6 to 7, but I need to be able to password-protect certain pages, or mark them as private so that only certain users can see them. In drupal 6 I am using the "private" mod, which is working perfectly, but it is not updated yet for 7.0.

Is there any way in 7 to protect a page without using mods? For example, can you set permissions on an individual page which allows only certain authenticated users to view the page?

Thanks!

Hello, let me start by saying that I don't really know all that much about what I'm doing. I usually am able to squeak by these kinds of issues by following instructions, unfortunately I haven't been able to find someone who's solved this issue yet.

So I switched from an in-home server to shared hosting from godaddy. Using my home server as a testbed I updated to the latest 6.x and attempted to update to 7. Whenever I try to run update.php I am redirected to /update.php?op=info and get an error 500. This also happens when I attempt the same process on the godaddy host (after migrating my /sites folder and database to it). I have tried several times and made sure to disable all non-core modules and put the site in maintainence mode before uploading the Drupal 7 files. It appears that the database settings are correct because the main page has my custom logo and title, but gives me this error "PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'bbdrupalats.blocked_ips' doesn't exist: SELECT 1 FROM {blocked_ips} WHERE ip = :ip; Array ( [:ip] => 216.82.215.207 ) in drupal_is_denied() (line 1779 of /home/content/27/7260227/html/blogbarbarian/includes/bootstrap.inc)." I can only assume this is because the database is out of date. All pages appear to be displaying this error and none of my content from the error message down is displayed.

Nothing happen as it was suppose to, I get a blank page, followed the upgrade instructions. Wordpress upgrades are so easy but Drupal is a PITA. Did anyone test drupal 6 upgrade to 7 prior to releasing it ?

Database consolidation

I have Googled this but I haven’t found an answer – so I turn to you good people.

The background to the question is:
• I have a Drupal 5 based live site.
• I have copied the database from the site to use in a sandbox to build the new Drupal 6 revision of the site.
• Members of the Drupal 5 – Live –site have added content to this site.
• This new content is not on the Drupal 6 sandbox and therefore wont be on the new revised site I am about to upload.
