Upgraded from 5.20 to 6.4, now am getting error in comment.module on new blog posts

Since a recent upgrade from 5.2 to 6.4 I now get this error at the top of every new blog entry. How can I fix this?

Upgrading from 6.12 to 6.14 - ran database update twice, now unable to connect

I have carried out an update to 6.14, including running update.php. All went well till I ran cron, which told me I needed to update to 6.14; it thought I still had 6.12 installed. So I erased all the files via FTP then did a clean upload of the 6.14 files. It prompted me to run update.php again, and came up with errors this time. Now I can't get beyond the front page of the site; instead it's offering to do a new install.

Anyone know how I get beyond this please? Thanks.

[Solved] Cannot upgrade modules - "date" and "webform" - upgrade will not "take"

Using "Update status 6.14 Checks the status of available updates for Drupal and your installed modules and themes." I received notifications last week that Drupal, webform, WYSIWYG, date, CCK, etc. had security updates.

First Attempt

  • Backed up my database and files to my local computer
  • Downloaded & unzipped Drupal 6.14
  • Downloaded & unzipped new versions of all the contributed modules
  • Combined all of these into a single directory structure
  • Put the site into maintenance mode, disabled all modules
  • Used FTP to write the new files, "overwriting" all files
  • Ran update.php
  • Re-enabled some modules
  • Ran update.php
  • Drupal core and several modules reflected updates correctly, but date and 1 other did not
  • Ran update.php, choosing the last "version" manually for those modules, although the numbers didn't look quite right
  • Received an error that a date table couldn't be created because it already existed
  • Manually deleted said table
  • Ran update.php
  • Received another database error
  • Rolled back to the previous installation of Drupal and modules
    • Dropped all tables from database
    • Imported all tables & data from backup
    • Deleted all files from drupal installation directory

Automatic CVS Update of Contributed modules

Hi

I want help in automatic update of contributed modules in my home computer which i use as testing and playing ground for Drupal.

I have Tortoise CVS installed and i can update Drupal from CVS when ever new version is updated.

I want to update contributed modules with CVS instead of downloading each of them manually to my sites/all/modules directory

I cannot figure out how to do this. I want to update all contributed modules which i have installed all in one go with CVS if any update is available for them.

Really old drupal site needs upgrade

Hello,

I inherited a really old Drupal site (4.2) that is in desperate need of upgrade. I gather that I need to upgrade to 4.7 then to 5.x then 6.x.

1. Can I go from 4.2 straight to 4.7? If so, where can I download 4.7? If not, where can I download the intermediate versions? My search on this site did not lead me to any download pages for any versions of 4.x

2. If the 4.x versions of Drupal are no longer available, what are my options for upgrading my site to 6.x?

Drupal Core Update Status: Not Secure warning won't go away. even after Upgrade.

I upgraded to Drupal 6.14, however the Drupal Core Update Status Report still says:
(Not Secure. version 6.14 available.)

I have tried running the update script a second time. No update available.
I ran the cron to refresh the report. the warning is still there.
I also cleared the performance cache.

Would you know where this warning could be coming from?
The status report clearly says, I am using drupal 6.14 but the available update is asking me to do an update
