Database update to 6.13 fails w/o error

Updated to 6.13 earlier today and when I run update.php I get to the Select Updates page. By default, system module is set to 6051, date module is set to 6005, all others are set to "No update available". I click "Update" and the next page loads but the typical progress bar doesn't appear. Just the title "Updating" and nothing else. Nothing in error_log. I enabled E_ALL debugging in update.php but still no error output.

Getting an fatel error after upgrading drupal 5.old to latest 5.19

Upgrade via Fantastico 6.10 - 6.13 fails

I have 2 installations at a hosted site and both fail. Both are very standard installs, with just a template change, and one or two modules disabled.

The Fantastical upgrade reports:

Displaying images in Views (CCK Image migration)

Post upgrade to Drupal 6 I am attempting to convert some content to display using Views, but the custom code from the previous maintainer does not seem to translate to CCK/Views correctly. The previous content type for the attached images was via the CCK Image module. It are those images that are not displaying when creating the View.

This is the line of code used in the original Drupal 5 custom module (they didn't use views) :

db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT f.fid, f.filename, f.filepath FROM files f, image_attach ia WHERE ia.nid=f.uid AND ia.iid=".$other_result->nid." AND f.filename='_original'"));

I see that CCK Image does not appear to be available any longer for 6. In reviewing the forums I found: http://drupal.org/node/432860 , but it did not resolve my issues. Possibly it did, but there be other step(s) required due to the customizations that I am not aware of. The instructions associated with this process are not in order of operations and they creation of the content type and subsequent field is not clearly explained. I created a content type and added a file type of file to it and made it "unlimited", which forced the creation of the content_field_ table. Is that the correct method to follow?

500 error on update.php

Hi,

Trying to upgrade drupal 5 to 6. Followed directions in upgrade.txt a few times and keep getting the same result.

The site is updated to the newest 5 version.

When I go to upgrade.php I just get a blank screen at http://dev.site.com/update.php?op=info

Can anyone suggest a next step?

Many thanks!

Ideas to make upgrading/module downloading easier!

Hello everyone,

I just had an idea and I am not sure how come this has not be implemented yet.

First lets give an example of what I'm thinking: On Windows based OS's if you want to install any new software you need to search the internet find a website, download (buy) the software then install. Then you have OS's like Ubuntu where you just open there built in tool type the application name you are looking for, click install. Ubuntu then finds, downloads the application, and installs it for you.

As I am sure you can guess Ubuntu makes your job a lot easier. Windows makes this more manual and error pron.

Now how this relates to Drupal: Currently Drupal acts like Windows, if you want to upgrade or add modules you must come to the Drupal website, download, extract, upload to your server. New versions of Drupal have helped with this process a bit. If you have a module installed and it needs to be upgraded you just click a link in admin and it downloads the module to your desktop. As you can see you still have to manually extract then upload to your server.
