Upgrading Drupal

Are there any efficient ways to sync content from a live 5.x site to a development (upgrading) 6.x site? I'm upgrading a large site, and because it is taking a long time the content on the 6.x site gets stale.

Summary : I've updated my drupal installation and drupal modules, but admin/reports/updates says that Drupal version is still 6.12.

Hi all,

I found that upgrading the Drupal core module can be really time consuming if you have a lot of installed modules, so I wrote a few scripts for Linux (sorry, not sure which distribution) to automate the process. I'm posting here in case they might be useful to others. Please post back if you find this helpful.

An overview follows:

web_backup - allows you to specify a directory under your home directory to create a backup. The script double checks to see that the .htaccess file is copied and also compares all the files in each directory. You would want to be sure to backup your database separately.

web_restore - allows you specify a backup directory to copy files into the web directory. You will need to edit this script to specify the web directory. Like the web_backup script, this will compare .htaccess and files to confirm a successful restore.

drupal_upgrade - after you've run the web_backup command, you can run this script to extract the new Drupal tar file then use it to rebuild your Drupal site in the web directory. The script first checks that you have a good backup, then deletes the current site, then creates the core files, and finally copies .htaccess and the sites, files, and modules directories from backup, making sure not to overwrite newer core files. You can use the web_resotre command to copy the site back if anything goes wrong.

Hi,

I made the Drupal installation with a Drupal package in Jaunty

I have installed Drupal in Ubuntu 9.04 now I would like to upgrade from 6.10 to Drupal 6.13. How can I do this?

I am a newbie in Ubuntu and I have several questions.

I have to backup my files this lead to several questions:
- How do I backup files in Ubuntu
- Which and where are those files in Ubuntu?

Many thanks

Hi,
I have a multisite setup, with 2 sites. I saw on the status report that I had to install a new security update, so I downloaded the new core, and proceeded to install.

Except I was logged in to one site, but not the other. The one I was logged in to, I was able to do update.php without any problems. The other site, the one I wasn't logged in to, I changed the settings.php to set the update_free_access field to TRUE, but it still won't load a page.

It gives me a blank page, but the status bar says "Done"

What else should I do?

thanks for any help

Can some one please help me figure out how to get the content of this site to the new site? I am at a loss at this point. I have searched high and low...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
