Upgrading Drupal

Hi

I have a small doubt that do we need to disable the module before upgrading to new version?

Because what i just did was that I upgraded CCK to 6.x-rc7 from 6.x-rc6. I did not diasble the module, rather just replaced the old folder with the new folder, and then ran update.php. And everything worked alright, but I still have doubt that is the correct procedure to:

1. disable old version.
2. Replace old folder with new version.
3. Run update.php
4. Enable new version.

Please Clarify

Best Regards

Tonight I was trying to "upgrade" our multiple-site installation of Drupal to point to the MySQL database on a different server. I changed the mysqli $db_url in the settings.php file for each site to point to the new server rather than to localhost.

i want to include my custom page on click of custom URL.i am not getting how to include that custom page.
Can any one guide me how can i include a custom page where content is displayed in droupal page.tpl.

Hi,

I started playing with drupal 6. Now before I go in preoduction I want to clear my complete website and start over.

I am unable to remove the files settings.php and the folder "../sites/files)

Security Settings are 777 on the file.

I work on the hosting site one.com.

Greetings

I did a mysqldump to save my db, now I need to restore it to a database (I'm creating a backup site), how do I load the data from my save_data.sql file produced by mysqldump?

Also, to make a backup site, I need to:

1) setup a new database in mysql, keeping the user/password the same, load the data into it,
2) make a copy of my drupal site, change the $db_url in default/settings.php to point to the backup database.

Is this correct?

The automatic upgrade from Fantastico on my service provider failed. I am new to Drupal and open source software. would rather not uninstall and reinstall unless absolutely necessary.

I am getting the following errors:
