Upgrading Drupal

What is the best process to upgrade a module ?

1) uninstall the old version ?
=> Through the administration pages (Administer/Site building/Modules/List : unselect the module , then Administer/Site building/Modules/Uninstall...)

2) stop drupal ? (or Apache ? or MySQL ? ...)

3) unzip the new version of the module in the right directory (drupal-x.x/sites/all/modules/...)

4) start drupal ?

5) select the module in the admin (Administer/Site building/Modules/List)

Hi,

I recently updated Drupal from 4.7 to version 5. Unfortunately, a couple of essential modules stopped working(and I really can´t fix them). I am considering updating to Drupal 6. Before I would delete the modules that cause the trouble and then later reinstall them.

What do you think of that approach? Could that work?

Thanks.

Hello esteemed Drupaleers.

1) I moved a 5x system to another server and all seemed ok.

2) I then upgraded to the latest version (and modules) of 5x.

3) Then upgraded to 6x and implemented a new theme.

4) Created a clean new 6x install

5) Imported CCK forms from upgraded system into new system

6) Now some of the test in the CCK forms look like this:

"the drop‐down box to indicateÂ"

Any ideas?

So I attempted an upgrade from 5 to 6 and noticed that the tables specified in domain_prefix are not upgraded. So with 7 prefixed tables and 68 subdomains... I have most of my site left in drupal 5.

Has anyone else tackled this issue?

Thanks,
Nathan

Hi All..

When will Drupal 6 become obsolete, i.e., when will we be forced to upgrade to Drupal 7 before our site doesn't work?

Thanks very much.
