Upgrading Drupal

Hi all,

I have a multisite installation of Drupal 6.10. Trying to update to 6.11 I get a strange behaviour running update.php (in every site), i.e. the only db update needed is system 6050, but when I hit "upgrade" I'm taken to the home page of the site.

Nothing is written in drupal's logs.

These are the relevant rows of web server's logs:

and this is the nginx virtual server:

On performing my Drupal 6.10 to 6.11 update I got the following error in running update.php: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phptemplate_get_ie_styles() in .../themes/garland/maintenance-page.tpl.php on line 23

I wrote up some notes derived from this. First it only happened on sites where the default theme was not Garland. And on the non-Garland sites the update.php theme was strange (not Garland) whereas for every other update.php run I've seen update.php on the non-Garland sites have the Garland theme.

http://drupal.org/node/244194 has one solution .. to require_once("template.php") .. but scratching a little further along I get to the real question.

I've been using Drupal since 4.6 .. in all that time I never saw any official documentation on the recommended official correct method for doing a minor release update. Sure for a major release update (e.g. 5 to 6) there's a laborious process that we're forced to undergo. But on minor updates .. no documentation.

On the front page I see an announcement "Drupal 6.11 and 5.17 released". These include fixes for security vulnerabilities.

I know that such vulnerabilities may not necessarily apply to my site, for example if they depend on the presence of certain modules, or if they protect against authorised users gaining additional permissions. So of course I want to read the details to find out whether I need to go through the effort of updating my site.

I must be having a bad day. Where is the link to this info?

Forgive me for not finding this on my own - I have been trying to find it - but I cannot locate a list of what Drupal 6.x now includes in core. Is there one?

Thanks for any info you can provide :-)

I've upgraded too soon, after checking lots of modules progress and then deciding that I could migrate some, live without some other I took the plunge - and only now did it hit me that views fast search doesn't come for d6.

I was using it to return search results
1) from specific content types
2) in most recently posted order
and most importantly 3) with images [the ones above page-break]

Actually i set Dont send option was default state for newsletter issues.I dont want every tlme sent when i create node... I need weekly once only send all node created the week. Right now that digest node also move to drafts and not sent automatically.If anybody know tell quickly..
